Israel method on Lebanon

Looking at Israel method of tackling terror,its nice for us, to sit n watch deaths of others on TV n say v shud do it to same to PAK,

no violence has helped any nation, last evening Al Zawahiri, has asked
all roads leading to Israel,this war by Israel, has been an arm shot
to the entire movement of theirs..
Israel, cud have used ground operations in urban warfare, really cruel
method to use air strikes, as collateral damage to high,i understand
some battles have to be answered with force.. i realize history of
Israel, has been to show no restraint…and they were proactive before
Hezbollah started their moves…
but the nature of warfare and scale is unjust, with no sensitivity to
innocent lives,

the innocent will prioritize hatred, contribute more funds, through
all channels, and major fund collection will also go towards Al Qaeda
from various nations, its very crucial at our age to realize good
battle is one where you attack the source of hatred that fuels the
war,
I have been having great respect to concept n success of Zionism, but
disappointed with warfare adopted by Israel. There was a time, when
there was extreme precision techniques used by Israel against Hamas,
why full fledged war against Hezbollah,

What do you mean do same with Pakistan, Pakistan is not
just ISI, Jaish-e Mohammad, LeT, Musharaf and company, there are
humans there too, the effects of this battle of Israel, will cause
unnecessary damage to us as well, even if a small share of fund
raising is siphoned to these PoK based junta, we will have tough time,
managing them.

With historic data, and foreign policies followed by nation facing
terrorism, its apparent that full fledged warfare has only fuelled
extremism, I agree the proactive means attacking the PoK camps, but
with nuclear deterrent environment that's not feasible.

Israel will fail in its efforts of curbing terrorism because their not
attacking the philosophy of hatred, they are attacking the executors,
Its irony the Zionism movement was started on some note, and seems the
present generation seems so far away from that objective, where the
paradise homeland….
Seeds of anarchy are being sown on all borders…of Israel,

Wat is to learn from Israel, their people have spread to such great
control of US and UK that no one can stop them, hope someday Indians,
reach similar place where no one can stop India, from executing its
foreign policy, and above all I hope that then the foreign policy is
of restraint and attacking the philosophy terrorism, and economically
arm twisting Pakistan, might sound utopian, but I guess could be
differentiator to tackle this menace.

Power of Blogging

Imagine a Blogspace for every elected representatives,
and every registered voter with his verified id, blogs his concern on this space,
such that the office of the elected representative, can start taking action or respond to the voter in his constituency.

"Change your self first; reform yourself and you will reform thousands"

Dear All,
This an mail interaction between the community called Intiatives of Change, of
which i have been associated for last 3 yrs,
Let me introduce the firstly- Viral Mazumdar, happens to be a
successful diamond merchant for 350 days of the year rest dedicated to
non business events,committed to run a youth conference in panchgani-
Asia Plateau for last 10 yrs, and doin that dedicatedly..this is his
mail..do read it..and then piya she is law graduate from jamshedpur
joined work in mumbai..n her response to the mail..have a nice day..

Hello! All. Felt like sharing what happened with me few days ago. Back
in Delhi and busy with my routine work. My brother was with me in
Delhi and we were heading back home from our work. Before I could wear
my ear plugs and in few moments so many things happened that I used my
mobile phone to make a call and before I could realize and react and
wear my plugs, my brother telling me the cops have seen you and there
goes the whistle and the police men stands in the middle of the road
to stop my car, I pull my car on the side, the senior lady officer was
standing by her motor cycle and another cop next to her. In all they
were a team of three. I got down from my car greeted the lady with a
smile and immediately accepted my mistake by telling her I was talking
on the cell, and here is my license, please do the needful, she was
shocked by what I was talking to her, first thing she told me was that
I like the way talk, you are very polite and nobody has ever
surrendered the way you have done by honestly accepting your mistake,
the male officer asked me are you working for the military?

The lady officer telling me her days story that how she had to chase a
young driver for more then an hour to catch him for rash and
insensitive driving and throwing his weight around by committing many
traffic offence and here you are accepting your mistake and
surrendering.

I had to tell her that I am associated with Mra-IC and I teach many
young people to walk on the path of honesty and challenge them to live
their life based on moral values. I could see a spark in her eyes, she
asked me more about my work, and she commented that you are living by
what you are teaching. Yes was my prompt reply, otherwise how could I
speak to young people with conviction that comes from within.

I was been told that the fine is Rs: 1000/- for talking on the mobile
phone, I immediately accepted and removed my wallet and paid her the
amount, she took the amount and told me, I was testing you whether you
will pay this big fine of Rs: 1000/- aap sache aadmi ho and telling me
I cannot fine you Rs: 1000/- . I responded by saying please do your
duty, her pen refused to write on the challan. She fined me Rs: 100/-
took my visiting card and said I will come and see you sometime. I
invited her to AP and if your children are above 17 yrs then do send
them for the youth camp at Panchgani. Mr younger brother sitting
inside the car looking at what was going outside, told me that your
honesty saved your Rs: 900/-, how simple it is to be honest, but we
still make it so difficult.

This complete incident took me back to the second day of the youth
camp and how we had an interesting discussion on challenging ones own
value system and are we willing to take the longer route to achieve
what is best for us?

My honesty with the lady police officer was appreciated by her that
she had to mention that I have never come across a person like you,
each and every person wants to have a quick go, or they want to throw
their wait around that I am so and so. This is exactly what corrupt
officials want, that they get bride and make an easy buck, but when we
accept and are willing to get ourselves punished, this challenges the
law protector to think and some where deep down it will make an impact
on them.

I wish from my heart that the lady officer gets in touch with me,
because here I can see a window opening up to train police officers,
as this department is the most corrupt department in our country, more
then politicians.

There was a discussion initiated that how do we market out youth conference?

What I have to say is "Change your self first; reform yourself and you
will reform thousands". As told by Paramahansa Yoganand in one of his
books. Sell yourself and your change, do not sell AP and its beauty.
Think……. All the best.

viral bhai, ur story was touching indeed...i had a very interesting
experience 2 share too, which happened a few days back with me, taht
totally got me thinking...

all of u know that I have joined my new job....last week, I was
totally stressed out and nervous and had a string of bad episodes with
my boss....currently I am travelling everyday from worli to
jogeshwari, which takes more than an hour, to do some work at Pfizer's
office here...on my way back to Worli one day pretty late in the
evening all alone, I asked an auto driver if he will take me to Bandra
from where i wud cab it to worli...he said yes...i was carrying with
me a heavy bag and a laptop..and i had to keep it on the seat first b4
I got up myself....i did that...and before I cud even put my foot up
on teh auto...the driver sped away like the wind...with my bag and
laptop!!!

i ran after the auto but it was soon out of sight...i even tried
following it with another auto...but it had vanished!!..i came back 2
the stand and asked the otehr drivers as to who was in charge
there...tehy said there was no orgainsed thing as such and there was
no way 2 trace the driver...u can imagine...i was aghast...my laptop,
mobile, money everything gone in an instant...and what was scariest is
taht it was my office laptop and contained very privileged info that
was irreplacable.....i ran to the security of pfizer and asked them 4
help...almost burst out crying, as i cud see myself losing my job next
besides being labelled as totally irresponsible....he asked me to go 2
the main security ... as i was walking it down, i suddenly heard the
hink of an auto and the security guard shouting out 4 me...i crossed
my fingers and ran back...it was, to my astonishment, the same
guy!!...safe and sound inside were my bags...i was totally speechless

he apologised duly...he said he was in a major hurry and did not even
realise that i had not got into teh auto...it was only when he was
half way taht he realised tht i wa not inside, but my bags were...he
broke all traffic rules, just 2 b able to get back quickly, to hand
over my bags to me or to the security....in fact, he was more freaked
out than I was...he could not believe it taht he was almost labelled a
thief...he told me that he was much happier earning 10 rupees a day,
than selling my belongings which would easily fetch him a handsome
amount....trust me, I have never been more touched....he got me back 2
bandra and on the way we really bonded...i told him how much I
appreciated his gesture....that if he had not come back, my job would
be at stake...when I finally got off I tipped him extra, but he was
very reluctant to take it...as he felt it was his fault..but I
insisted....

I never met him after that...probably never will....but it has
restored in me a profound faith for honesty....and i thought i must
really share this story with all of u...b'cos when u r at the
receiving end of someone else being honest, u realise how important
honesty is to you.

love,

Piya
