According to the dictionary the meaning of vote is: A   formal indication of choice between two or more candidates expressed typically through ballots or show of hands. This meaning in the dictionary has been redefined by our politicians as well as by we ourselves, the voters. Now it has been treated like a commodity by many. Now vote is like a: Commodity for sale! A surprise gift! In the form of pick pocket! A forceful snatch! A gang burglary! And it goes on and on.  Tomorrow what will happen to it, no one knows. It has already become a burden to many. The great work of the renowned noble humen like Cliesthenes of Athens of the 6th century BC, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Gaulle of France, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar and such great ones who have built democracy in the world is gradually getting collapsed.

Every possession of ours is like this.                ++++++ The physical body we have is our identity. In the absence of this we remain as a memory. This body may be very strong or very beautiful.

Before forming in this body it came from the soil of the earth some particles of it might have come from home waste, animal or human bodies, dirty water, beautiful flowers and so on.

And when we meet someone it can be our last meeting. Let us give them enough love.     ...

"We must have life-building, man-making, charector- making assimilation of ideas. If you have accumulated five ideas and made them your life and charector, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library ... " Swami Vivekananda. My dear parents, the fellow Indians, whose children are going to schools and colleges in India, must spare a few minutes to go through this brief write up. Political parties have deeply penetrated into our educational system for quite sometime. They have used different avenues like religion, money, power politics etc for this. Politics have changed the system of education in schools and colleges quite rapidly. Education through prescribed syllabus have given way to political ideologies. Impatience, indiscipline, indecency, fight between students, stabbing of  teachers, killing of other students etc are now practiced in good number of colleges in different parts of our country. The parents must think the purpose of...

Many  years ago, James Rogers of Alabama Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church told the story of Annie Clayton of San Jose, California. As a child, she and her sister Banie took a long walk one Saturday morning to collect some scraps of wood as fuel for heating their families home. As they returned, Vanie collapsed from the lingering effects of cholera and was unable to proceed. Annie, who was only five years old, was helpless and they sat beside the road not knowing what to do. Finally Vanie said, "You know, Annie, that a good while ago mother told us that if we ever got into trouble, we should pray, and God would help us. Now you help me get down upon my knees, and hold me up, and we will pray." So there on the side walk, the two sisters prayed earnestly for someone to come along to help them. Then they resumed sitting on the curb waiting to see how God would answer their prayers. Far down the street, they spotted a man who walked out of a factory and loo...

Simultaneously the state has made no effort to get the alloted fund from the Central Government and to enhance the revenue from new sources.
