Self-Improvement-the key to success...
“Stand up! Be bold! Be strong! Take up the whole
responsibilty on your shoulders! Know that you are the creator of your own
destiny.All your strength and success is within yourself.Make your own future!”
-Swami Vivekanandha.
Vineet Kumar –a veteran actor, was a person who
started his career as a mere artist.Initially he did comic, negative and
character roles.Like everybody he too had a turning point in his life when he
realised that he has to improve himself.He joined IPTA and with his hardwork
and determination, he became famous.He could succeed in life because he
realised that he should improve his standard of life. This is an illustration
to elaborate that success comes to only those who realise the importance of
self-improvement through hard work.
Remember that you are the controller of your
mind.Believe in yourself.Even our own shadow is not trustworthy as it
disappears when darkness comes.In today’s competitive world, there are many opportunities.But our success depends on how we utilise that.
·
Never think that anything is
impossible.
·
Stay away from gossips.
·
Keep your temper under check.
·
Fill yourself with positive
thoughts.
One can achieve all this when he is self-sustained.
Some great people mention that their success would
have not been possible without some particular person.For example, the
ex-president of our country stated that the people behind his success were
Subrahmaniya Ayyar and Soloman Appar-his teachers.But remember that you are
totally responsible for your victories.If you think someone else is responsible
for your success, then that victory is theirs; not yours!
Your near or dear can act only as a ladder to help you
climb up.It is you who should reach the peak!
“Great people
don’t do different things-they do things differently!”
Every one is born with talents.The difference is how
we use it.
I would like to conclude with a quote from
John.F.Kennedy:
“All of us might not have equal talent.But all of us
have equal oppurtunities to develop our talents”
So work hard to improve yourself!
1% inspiration
and 99% perspiration yields success!

ALCOHOLISM ....
Alcoholism is a widespread problem in India.This is especially true in
the case of Tamil nadu.Tamil nadu is facing a serious threat in the form of
alcoholism.All the community of people are getting adversely affected due to
alcoholism.The survey reports that students are getting addicted at the age of
15."Does alcoholism provide any benefit...?" The answer is No. It
acts as a hindrance to the growth of our country.Though it seems to be
profitable it brings more amount of social loss than that of economic profit.It
also causes severe health problems.People by consuming alcohol, lose their
individuality.This alcoholism not only affects the health of the individual but
also their family members.Women getting beaten by drunken husbands often occurs
in our state.Children are also getting adversely affected.They will easily get
diverted.
The most affected community is students.College students are getting
addicted to alcoholism.College administration should take nessecary steps to
control alcoholism.Strict rules are to be implemented. Government should take
nessecary steps to ban alcohol.
There are certain remedies to control alcoholism.They are
1. People are to be properly educated.
2. More number of awareness programs should be conducted.
3. Students should not be provided with alcohol.
4. Medical counselling is to be given to alcohol addicts.
5. In addition to the all above mentioned solutions self discipline is
the most important solution.
So ban alcohol and lead a peaceful life!

SAFETY OF
WOMEN IN THE INDIAN SOCIETY...
Are the women in present-day India safe?
Are they able to live freely without any fear in their
minds?
Nobody is in a position to answer this.One of the
major social issues which is prevailing in India is the safety of women in our
society.
In each and every field,we find that women are
discriminated based on gender.Women are not even provided with equal rights
with that of men.God created men and women equally.But in our society,we find
that men are always superior to women. Women created men.Women are being worshiped as goddesses and we find that many rivers, countries, etc are named
with feminine names.
India gained independence in 1947.But Indian women
have not won it yet.Right from a 6 year old child to a 60 year old lady repent
being born as a girl at some point in their lives.
But even today, in the backward areas, women are
blamed for giving birth to a boy child, but the scientific and medical fact states
that men’s chromosomes determine the gender of the baby. Even in the womb of a
mother, a female child is not safe.Even though prenatal sex-determination is banned,
many people do it illegally.And if it is found that the foetus is female, the
baby is aborted.
Is there a solution to all such problems which the women
face each and every day, hour and second of life?
YES!
First of all, the total mindset of the people should
be changed.People should understand that women have every right to dream, aim
and achieve! Women have improved themselves from schools to spaceships! So,
Respect Women!
Stricter rules must be enforced in the society and
proper action must be taken against all those criminals against women.
Women must be given proper education both on academic
fronts as well as self-defenses.
Women exist in men’s lives as a mother, a sister, a
friend and so on! Respect them!
A nation is considered independent only when a woman
is able to walk on an isolated road with full jewellery on her, yet without any
fear!
Respect women!

THE OTHER SIDE OF INDIA
A SUBSTITUTE
CAN WE MAKE THIS?
We the
literate people of Indian community can understand very well that there are
millions of beggars in our respected country who deserves everyday for the
basic necessities like food at least twice in a day, clothes to cover because they
are unfortunately born unlucky. Mostly, they will be lying down on the
roadsides with their arms stretched towards us or the beggars will be with hand
child gently knocking the vehicle windows for coins with a belief that we will
drop them something. As this statics of undeserved keeps on increasing, the
facts which adds fuel to the fire are some cruel beggars give heroine or
alcohol to the cute hand child to remain asleep, few make the cute to cry and
few rob the new born fresh buddies from hospitals to use for begging just to
make money to survive. For instance, I am continuously noticing a this kind of
woman in a bus stand for the past 3 years and she could earn 50-60rs per day
because she appears pity and so by now she could have earned 55,000rs (approx)
but we are not sure that every single rupee was spent for her since it has a
share to the brutal agents too. A solution for this worsening fact can be by
providing beggars with direct snack
packets even may costing 10-20rs instead of coins since it cannot be
misused. So, let us donate them something other than direct cash and if some
demand us only money, please let us neglect this condition. Few may think that
getting snack for them is difficult but if we are determined,it is possible. Herewith,
Task’12 from final EEE kindly
requests everybody to make the new kind of practice as a little part to make
India shine.

Kopimism- A religion made for piracy...
Well, how about that? While there are countless number of
religions thriving to exist in our planet, trying to plant, no offense, but
stupid beliefs into people’s mind, there is this one particularly unique
religion - kopimism, a religion made for sharing information. I, in my own
personal opinion, think that this is a great central theme for a religion. We
all know that there are various religions which have their own deities and
superstitious beliefs, and about how they end up. They always result in quarrel
among the people of different religions, casualties and whatsoever. People
today, are tired of this nonsense; they need new trendy things to follow; they
are in thirst of experiencing something new. That’s when kopimism came into
existence in the society. It’s a religion mainly focusing on copy-paste piracy
promoting policies. Kopimism was started in Sweden. Of course, it had lots of
oppositions and hurdles, but it crossed all over it and is now an officially
recognized religion, and registered by Swedish’s legal , financial and Administrative Services Agency. No Kidding! A
religion that promotes piracy and also legally supported by a government? I
would die to become a member of such community. What if I said that there is a
church for kopimism? Yes, they actually do have one and its “spiritual leader”
is Isak Gerson, a 20 year old Swedish. He found the church of kopimism. They
actually have some kind of vows like, “the pursuit of knowledge is sacred, the
circulation of knowledge is sacred, the act of copying is sacred”. I sometimes
wonder whether these guys are being sarcastic or serious. Their common enemy is
“copyrights” and their motivation and aim is to ban copyrights in order to
provide free information to all.
Their views on sharing
information is absolutely correct to my senses, because the only way a
knowledge can survive is by being shared. Information can be forgotten unless
it can be copied. But all that copyrights does is limit the information that we
hear and letting people live on a lie. The leader was denied by the government
in having any relation with the illegal file sharing website, The Pirate Bay.
Kopimism doesn’t deal with any beliefs, Gods, afterlife, it just deals with raw
facts, information and the ways of sharing them. It doesn’t deal with humans and the sins that
they’ve committed but it deals with the digital world. Its logo is based on the
shortcut keys for copying and pasting that is being used in the windows
operating system – ctrl+C and ctrl+V. The members need not meet each other in a
physical room but through online websites and servers. Well, at least they are
using an “Up-to-date” technology in order for meeting up to the requirements of
the modern world. The only way to stay as a member is by sharing any
information, may it be vital or normal ones. All you have to do is think that
copying is a sacred act. One of the advantages of being a member is when you
get hands on some vital information, you can share it with others as you wish.
No one can stop you from copying it.
That information can be of anything, may it be a game or a movie or an
OS or an info about some secrets of a government, that doesn’t matter. All that
matters is that you share it.
Well, we don’t need to worry about that. We are in fact
all Kopimists as you are well aware of what we do in file sharing websites like
Torrentz, Mediafire, etc.. and we don’t need a church to promote it !!
