The True Privilege is...

The True Privilege is...


"Leaving your ego and greed, helping someone joyfully indeed is a really very good deed." 

Kavya Mehta








Is there something that you would love to do something for free? Would you get the joy, privilege and satisfaction of helping someone and making them content or would you regret of doing it for free? 

It isn’t about making more money or having a nicer house. It's about making others joyful and ourselves satisfied. The true privilege in life is giving yourself away. It is much better to give than to get. It is a simple law but it gives us a lot of pleasure and satisfaction. 

If you think that there is no one kind and helpful in this modern world, then you are wrong. Of course there are, but maybe in minority. And when you be kind, giving and helpful towards others, people get inspired from you and try to do the same good deeds. When you help someone, they feel great and help you in need too. But that doesn't mean that you help someone only if you get something in return. If you help, succour with a heart of gold without expecting anything in return. 

There are infinite ways of helping people. From donating items and money for education to poor people for fulfilling their daily needs to assisting anyone out like helping people cross the road, carrying their bags if they find it too heavy or helping someone for something they cannot do/find it difficult to do. Also, try to help feed someone when they do not have food to eat.

"If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one." -Mother Teressa. 

You can also open an organisation for succouring or helping people or help someone through an organisation. There are numerous ways to help but these are some of them which you can do. 

If we keep on helping, giving and assisting people, everyone will be more untroubled and delighted, following which our world-full of people will turn out to have a heart of gold. 



So, Let's make a start by helping at least some people a day and also telling them to help others! I pledge the same too. In this way, we all will be privileged, satisfied and make others feel good too. 

Starting our journey from increasing kindness and helping others from minority to majority! 

“Do something for those who have need of a man’s help – Something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.”

Albert Schweitzer

Media and Misinformation POEM: Shadows of Doubt

Shadows of Doubt Shadows creep where truth once stood A labyrinth of lies where truth is concealed Thronging with info The net’s just like a cotton-filled pillow I just don’t know what’s right what’s wrong Will this trap continue lifelong?   I feel so helpless So uninformed or rather I’d say misinformed That I’m being stormed It leaves me feeling like I don’t know who to believe   My worry deepens day by day Why do we have to pay For the evil and political intents Of the media presidents Who unfurl a curtain on the turn of events To merely disorient and create dents In the society resulting in immense torments   Be it the media traditional or social Biases are on the way Ranging from political to algorithmic Why are we being targeted and trapped In the relentless war of profits rhythmic     If we’re misinformed How can we understand the world around us? This is not fair But if we can’t change the world Let’s start the change

Spot the Fake: Your Guide to Real News

Spot the Fake: Your Guide to Real News “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” This quote by Mark Twain has proved to be truer than ever before. In today's digital world, false information spreads rapidly, causing real-world harm. From misleading headlines to outright deception, fake news poses a significant challenge. The consequences can be severe, including eroding trust and dividing communities. A study at MIT reveals that fake news spreads more faster, deeper and broadly than the truth. The truth rarely spreads beyond a 1000 people whereas the most contentious fake news in their sample regularly spread between 1000 and a 100 thousand people. Another revelation was that humans were more likely to spread fake news than the truth compared to bots. For instance, misinformation about COVID-19 caused serious harm. Over 6,000 people were hospitalized and at least 800 died in the first three months of 2020 alone due to false informa

Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams....World Cup Time

Image
Sapphire Souls, Golden Dreams Flags held high Exuberance unfurling through the sky Faces painted with stripes of saffron, white with a blue chakra and green on the side Heads held up high with pride And a spark in their eyes As the blue jersey wearers in themselves confide that lits up the eyeballs as the power flies to all and supplies   Glued to their TV sets day and night The young and the old with delight As the blue jersey wearers fight like a knight With all their might As the hope ignites and shines too bright Hoping for India to take another flight and reach new heights What a sight for all tonight!   Stadium run out of tickets Eyes glued on to sixes, fours and wickets And as the umpire will raise the finger The crowd will proclaim their ecstasy To view another wicket taken by our cricket team The arena will echo with shouts and screams     The 13 th cup edition And our team’s ambition A dream envisioned by all To grab
