What a world we live in :-) :-(

I was watching a show on real estate market on NDTV yesterday. A person called the show for an advise on buying an apartment in Thane, Mumbai with a budget of INR 45 Lakhs. The expert told him all he could get is a single bed room flat of area 684 sq ft with that kind of money which according to me is huge.

I was surprised to know this. Assumed that 45 Lakhs is the hard earned money of this person, doesnt he has the right of buying a decent flat with this amount?

Who is to blame for a situation like this? Government, we the people, WHO?

Companies out there create products, advertise them in such a way that they create a perception among people that they HAVE to buy them. To compliment this system, Banks are readily available to offer credit cards, loans etc finally taking the money out of hard earned pockets.

An ordinary person to have a quality and happy life should be above all this.

 

What a place it would be...?

What a place it would be, where everyone lives in contentment and in peace

What a place it would be, where each child is given the opportunity to make his/her life better

What a place it would be, where the elderly poor do not have to beg and can live a happy life

What a place it would be, where people respect the natural wealth and use them carefully

What a place it would be, what a place it would be

If there were a place, I would love to see it
If there were a place, I would love to live in it

Many ......

Many miles to go, Many things to do, Many things to learn, Many people to meet, Many places to see, Many to….

God give me the focus, the strength to do this,

If it happens that I do not live to the fullest,
I’ll feel wasted, I’ll feel worthless.

Life is like a box of chocolates.

Forrest Gump: My momma always said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. You have to do the best with what God gave you"

Forrest Gump had his mom teaching him about God and his way of doing things.

What about the many:

-who do not have the right way of learning?

-Who do not have any one to guide them?

Did u feel the same way...?

What is the main purpose of living and the way to lead it...? Has this question lingered in your mind, any time? I'm sure it has for many.

As of now there are two things which have been on my mind, to live a life full of content and happiness or to live a life (more a materialistic one) comparing my life with others'?? I know the former is the correct one but at times I tend to forget it and take the latter one. I would like to know how to keep myself focussed and be determined.
