A daughters little steps into growing..

This is the story which every father would have and would be going through. Zoya my daughter was going with me and my wife in the comforts of our car to her school. We kept thinking, she is too small to go by a big bus etc etc. But one fine day we decided to push her into the deep sea..to send her by the school bus. Initially like any father, I was terrified to send her into that big monster of a bus. How will she manage? will she fall down? will someone bully her? what happens if the bus brakes hard? what is she needs some help?? so the day I saw her taking those smaller steps into the big stairs of the bus and struggling to climb, I felt like rushing and pulling her out from there... I resisited and and then she managed to climb up and vanished into the stomach of that monster. I nowIfelt kind of sad, she is growing and growing fast, I thought. But just about when I was about to turn my head away, I heard the sweet voice of my kid, saying "Baba I will miss you!! and she waved her tiny hand through the window and slowly vanished into the cityscape.. I kept looking at the bus and a small tear just about rolled out from under my spectacles..

What can we do for out country?

This is a direct inspiration from the blog post of one of my very dear friend (http://www.restlesssouldier.blogspot.com/) . His blog post forced me also to think what we can do for our country? Most of us sit back and keep on saying nothing will happen, politicians are jerks, systems are wrong etc. But for a moment let me think which at my level is the possible thing. Things which are in my control. Some of them can be:



1. Obey traffic rules: Simply learn to stop at red light and smile at the other drivers. Let the pedestrians cross the road... can we do this?

2. Save energy: just switch of that light/fan/AC which is not required.

3. Dont use plastic or any other environment unfriendly materials

4. Talk soft and behave...need i say anything else...

5. Learn to understand that India Sabka hai...



We dont need to bring a revolution, we just need to act like
