Saving Water , Preserving Future

Water one of the most important resource of life, without which no living organism can survive on earth, so why we are letting it get waste or polluted .Do we not need this precious resource for generations to come, are we just killing our future .

Today we are not putting our effort to safe this limited resource.  The situation is so poor that in US average water consumption is 80 to 100 gallons per person per day where as in Sub Saharan countries one has to walk about 7 miles to get only of 5 gallon of water per family. In developing countries every 15 seconds a child dies due to water related diseases.  The World Bank predicts by 2025, two-third of total population would run short of fresh water. Even today in India, there are about 76 million people without access to safe water that clearly shows our future is not at all safe .

.So, let us start thinking about little way by which we can save huge. On an average a person drinks 7 to 8 glass of water a day and many a times they may drink only half and leaves the rest .By this a least  amount of 1 glass of water on an average is wasted by one person when multiplied by population of India is 132.42 glasses of water each day . That will turn into 317808000 liters of water per day  ,which can save nearly 7.6 billion glass of water per day. Now to execute this initiative all have to take care that we take only according to our needs and pour rest of it into plants our trees as what we give to nature, nature will give us back. It is an easy way with very little efforts which only require little concern towards nature.

Effective conservation can also be done through-

• Less usage of packed drinking water because unused water remain in plastic, which is a fresh refined water, and result in wastage.
• Using of buckets rather than having showers as in there is great wastage of water.
• Repairing leaking tap as every drop counts.
• Putting all extra water into plants and trees.

In addition, many more small steps can turn the situation better

But this initiative should be taken by all as one person cannot save water for coming billions but billions can save for coming trillions and this is what we need today. All should come together irrespective of financial conditions; in name of betterment of human being

 

Strengthening Roots – Enhancing growth in kids

” Hey your kid looks weak , is he suffering from any kind of disease ? “

“ No , he is all good  , just his weight never increases .  I have tried various combination of food including diff. home remedies but he is wafer thin since birth ” 

” How old is he ? ” 

”  He is already 6 years old and yet his weight is only 16 Kg ” 

” Have you consulted any doctor for this ? ” 

” No ,  My parents and in-laws says it is common phenomenon , some suffer with height issue and other with weight . But over period of time, it improves and everything will be fine, they even ask me to remain worry free and don’t exert over this issue” 

” I would really wish it happens , your kid is very bright and intelligent  and nothing should hold him back to achieve the best ” .

This is a classic conversation; every mother goes through in early phase of their kids.  As Parents are considered responsible for tip to toe of their kids, every Mother thinks her kids should remain at top of his health. …Forever.

Then there are few of our traditional relatives  who always raise doubts about   way of parenting and the Typical Sarcasm  is  ” Kuch Khilate nahi ho kya isko , bahut patla ho gaya ha ” { Don’t you feed him any food , he is getting thin day by day } and rest of them gives false assurance just to calm the situation ” Apne aap ho jayenga , Mera Chintu bhi bachpan ma itna chota sa lagta tha , par a dekho ” { it happens with time , even my kid used to look way small than his age but he recovered ” .

Yes , both of the statements are true . Some do improve over time and gets fits into the definition of being “Health “. But the issue is, in this age of competition, do we really want to take chances with such important phase of our little ones   . With Globalization, they are forced to compete beyond borders of their classroom both on & off the field.  Healthy body and fit mind help them concentrate, learn and grow at par with their friends. Their Energy level must always be kept at top level so they never feel drained out while exploring the world.

Generally, the way to measure fitness comes with a ratio of kid’s age, weight and his height. There are multiple calculators online which can help us monitor if the numbers matches with generally acceptable benchmarks or not.  In case, we can seek advice of specialist help to provide additional supplement.  FMCG and Pharma companies have been coming up with innovative products to fill up this need. These come in powder form which is either milk or water dis-solvable, making it easy to feed them to younger ones . These Nutrients overcame the deficiency of Protein  and vitamin  which helps in catching up on growth . One such product is Horlicks Growth + from house of GSK  which has clinically proven reports to naturally enhance growth .

Humans are like trees and kids are like saplings, all they need is good food, water, sun light and people who care for them. And if provided in right mix from early stage, fruits in form of success and performance can be seen forever.

It happened on 19th Dec 2014 , when selected few from all over the country were  flown down for the special preview to Vishesh Film’s Studio in Mumbai .

Entire Cast & Crew of Movie including debutant Gurmeet Chaudhary , Sabna Pabbi and Ali Fazal , to double the excitement they were joined by Vikram Bhatt , Mahesh Bhatt & Karan Darra who played full preview of the entire music album of the highly anticipated film Khamoshiyan to us.  The idea was to seek fresh hand response from Young age listeners and create a Buzz across Social media . This gave us a chance to  engage one-on-one with the celebs, and give  first hand reactions based on the music of the film – thereby doing an underground music launch of the film .

The Lucky Few

Other side of Kung – Fu Master

Growing up all these years specially for us Born in 80’s had a special affection for Television .  Till Late 80’s , Only Doordarshan was used to be our window of world and that too in Black & White for me . “Chitrahaar ” , ” Byomkah Bakshi ” &  ” Ramayan ” used to be  topic of discussion at recess break at school . With Early (0’s Come trend of few satellite channel which used to broadcast English Movies over weekend .Most of those used to be either UK /US originated like 1950’s Classic or South Asian One’s.

Although with our limited command over English Taught in “Hinglish ” School , most of the content used to go above the head . But between those boring one comes the Movie with Action paced punches and human fighting with bare hands /legs just at a speed lower than light and it always used to left u our mouth wide open . Those were all Kung Fu , Karate , Chip- chop or whatever the technique used to called  inspired action movies . Those made us  dream of going to some far  flung places in mountains covered with snow and find a dwarf size white master who will train and teach all those moves and make us a super human .  The Crazinees was such that , among bunch of my sibling and friends we tried some moves at home /school and broke few bones too . But that stuff was like a style statement for us and it unknowingly  made us  a big fan of Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee .
As the time went by and we crossed various stages of life , but the fascination towards Kung – Fu never faded , rather kept on getting stronger . While Bruce Lee is a Hardcore Practitioner of art and his movies was all about showcasing this form to the world . But Jackie chan ones were totally commercial movies with an appeal to global audience . It has Emotion , Drama , Action and Lots of Humor . With Jackie’s association with Big Studio of Hollywood , his work was released even in multiplex’s of Metro city in India . So over the years , While World was aware of his acting skills , his real life work made him a Person better than he appeared in a movie script  .

THE JACKIE , THE CHAN 
Jackie , Born in HongKong ,  is truly one of the international film industry’s true maverick actor / director / stuntman / producer combinations . Off screen he has been directly involved in many philanthropic ventures providing financial assistance to schools and universities around the world. He is a UNICEF /UNAIDS GoodWill Ambassador, and he has campaigned against animal abuse and pollution and assisted with disaster relief efforts in various natural / Man Made disasters .He  founded the Jackie Chan Charitable Foundation  & Dragon Heart Foundation to help young people in a variety of worthy causes, including medical services, aid to victims of natural disaster or illness, scholarships and youth activities. He Has Been Named as  Philanthropy’s hardest working Man By Forbes in 2011 .  All this and at age of 60+ and his efforts are going stronger and stronger urging and getting more and more people to join this mission of Helping Society down the lone  .

Chan is always the one who stands out and offers help after disasters strike.

Few of his works which made world notice and join his efforts  include his donation of USD $800,000 to help Haiti earthquake victims ,$5.2 million to support the Singapore Thong Chai Medical Institution  and  raising $29 million for earthquake victims of Qinghai, China.

He is the only celebrity who openly pledge to donate at his time of death all of his fortune left  to charity  leaving nothing for his son . with a hope to inspire other to follow the path

For all these Reason , he is  supposed to be more  popular across globe than  many of the Superstar’s of  INDIA are including Khan’s , Big B.

Fortunately , during my recent trip to china , Lady Luck smiled on me and I got a chance to attend 60th Birthday Celebration of JACKIE CHAN with the star himself . He really Inspired me what’s the real meaning of being ” Down to the ground ” is and never let worldly success overpower your inner human and always give back to society much more than what you get from them

” Life is a tragedy when seen in Close up
but Comedy in Long-shot ”
– Charlie Chaplin

This famous quote by one of the finest actor and comedian world has ever seen is easy to understand but difficult to remember and implement in a life full of challenges and roadblocks. 99.99% of people reacts based on present condition and what they see is misery and difficult rather than learning from looking back in past and checking how easy the problems were before they found the solution . This is the reason we need regular dose of entertainment and that too not in form of Saas-Bahu soaps but in form of Light –Hearted Laughter as saying goes “Laughter is the best medicine “and it helps in taking life a bit easy in any situation.
So, If Laughter is medicine then comedians are the doctor which have specialization in on and only one area and that is how to tickle the funny bone inside it’s patients which are listening and watching his/her act as audience . What was earlier consider as part time work , has now been taken us as full time profession and houseful shows are organized across globe for these professional known as “ STAND UP COMEDIANS “ .So from playing side actor roles in Movies /Theater to a where Comedian’s like “George Carlin “ has a following of millions and their LIVE shows gather revenue in excess of any Bollywood Blockbuster Box office collection .
Stand –Up Comedy is an art, where Comedian tries to engage /interact and involve its audience to see other side of Real _life or imaginary situation. This role is very demanding as it’s much more than telling a 30 second joke which anyone can handle. Many time punches don’t work or people fails to understand the humor in the dialogue or audience is too grossed in other discussion that they are not even listening and many such situation arises where comedian have to act accordingly and have to make instant modifications to get attention and make mix breed of his listeners equally happy .
So People now have been trying to make full time CAREER as a Stand Up Comedian setting aside their Heavyweight Professional Degree like CA , MBA , Engineering and even Doctorate .Some of the Famous Stand Up Indian Comedian’s include name like VIR DAS , AIB fame TANMAY BHAT, ADITI MITTAL , ABISH MATHEW and the talk of the Nation KAPIL SHARMA .
