Donate without asking any questions!

On Friday morning, when I was at my desk, I received a call from an unknown number.

“Hello”

“Is it Suresh Hegde?”

“Yes, I am”

“Sir, we are running an NGO to help poor children. Please help us help those children. You may contribute towards the cost of providing education to a child for one year. You may come and meet that child whenever you want”

“I donate whatever I can and whenever I can, directly to the deserved. Why should I donate through you?”

“Sir, please donate to us, we would give you receipt for every donation. You may claim tax exemption for that”

“Listen, I do not need any tax exemption. I don’t expect anything. Could you please tell me who is paying your salary? What is the source of income of your NGO?”.

“Sir, I get salary from my NGO. I do not know where they get money from. May be from the Government”

“Please find out the details of source of income of your NGO. When you have all the details, please call me again”.

“Sir, if you want to help, then, help. Please do not ask all these things”

“Hello, I am not here to donate without asking any questions”

“……”

“Hello, Hello… Hello”

“……”

Please say a BIG NO to crackers!

 

 

Let there be no smokes and no sounds,
Let there only be lots of love in words,

Friends, please say a BIG NO to crackers,
No contribution to air and noise pollutions,

Child labourers suffer in the cracker factories,
Alwasy in danger here, are, our eyes and ears,

There is not many positive aspects in this,
On the ill effects, I’m sure, none disagrees,

I celebrate this festival only with the lights,
My family extends all support to my thoughts,

If we light a lamp with the help of another lamp,
This whole world could easily be lightened up,

When love flows from one heart to another,
Peace would prevail and faces glow brighter!

NEED OF THE HOUR!

 

Whether there existed a holy Temple or Babri Mosque,

For us, that very place was and would ever remain unique;

 

No other place has ever been in news for so long,

Nor any place has ever attracted feelings so strong;

 

To defeat others by intelligence and witness is not so great,

Need of the hour is to truly accept others with open heart;

 

Neither of the communities can accept a court verdict,

Acceptable need is to make it an all religion prayer spot;

 

Let every Indian go there and pray with an open mind,

Show the world that we Indians are one of our own kind!

**********

COMPROMISE!!!

Just agreeing to every word is no compromise,

But, understanding every word and agreeing to is;

 

Just not raising questions at all is no compromise,

But, understanding the answers thus we get is;

 

Just always suppressing our anger is no compromise,

But, always finding a way out without any anger is;

 

Just not pointing out the mistakes is no compromise, 

But, making realise the mistakes in a humble way is;

 

Just keeping silent for everything is no compromise,

But, always taking care of the words spoken is;

 

Just keeping an ever smiling face is no compromise,

But, always being there to share feelings of others is;

 

Just behaving in front of others is no compromise,

But, behaving when in each other’s company is!!!

Mr. Advani Speak Out…!!!

 

 

 

Mr. LK Advani you either speak out or just walk out

Please make way for others if you can’t speak out

 

It is not that you must have to fight another election

Without you also BJP would have a better selection

 

You deserved to be a Prime Minister we all do agree

To wait for five years now your health may disagree

 

You remind me of an old arrogant head of a family

Who would never like the youngsters speak openly

 

You prasied Jinnah and later shed tears to please all

When Jaswant writes every one in party is crying foul

 

You’re silent like Bhishma Pitamaha who was helpless

Your silence would badly affect the party in no way less

 

BJP would never regain power if this crisis is mishandled

Even if you regret your inaction your voice may not be heard

If, I too copy others one day?

Baby cuckoo enjoyed being in the crow’s nest,

Fellow baby crow thought he too was the best,

 

Everyone enjoys listening when a cuckoo sings,

But to a crow, when it tries, an ear none gives,

 

Not much is achieved by being in a good company,

Neither one gets spoilt, merely by a bad company,

 

What if dogs and cats,in a house, grow together,

Dogs can’t be cats and cats too can bark neither,

 

If one knows about himself and keeps his goal in mind,

One or the other day, definitely, his goal one would find,

 

To imitate others, my dear, you should try in life, never,

Expect others too to be like you, you should neither ,

 

I truly like and respect you, just for what you are today,

Would you appreciate me, if, I too copy others one day?
