Food For The Soul

I once read somewhere: “People who understand food, understand hunger”, and I thought to myself….what NonSense! Why will anyone who understands food and loves to eat will ever need to know what hunger is or how it feels? I mean….he will eventually be filled up before he could even realize that he is hungry, now isn’t it? Yes, that’s Common Sense.  But BOY! Was my common sense highly mistaken!

Welcome to the world of the Hungry. Here, people love food – they will do anything to get food – but there’s a catch – they simply CAN’T afford it.

According to the recent survey by UNICEF, over 85% of the children in most of the villages of our country are Malnourished – this simply means that even though we project a robust economy with 9 per cent annual growth, there isn’t enough food for all, and whatever quantity there is, it is simply unaffordable by most. It is at times like these that one sits and thinks of ways to overcome such serious and mind-devastating issues – After all, this is how organisations such as WHO and UNICEF were born.

One such organization that is waiting to be born is “Food for the Soul”. I don’t know what it will be called once its official, but I’ll stick to this name since I like it :) Anyway, Food for the soul is a simple thought with a simple mission – Feed The Hungry….I don’t know how – I don’t know why? I’ll let the thinkers do their math, while I wait and see the results. All I am trying to do here is to create awareness about this serious issue that is engulfing the entire globe – along with the fact that every individual has the capacity to make a difference, and so do YOU!

If you think you can help, all you need to do is to create a facebook account (if you don’t have one already), and go to this link: Food For The Souls. Once there, all you need to do is to hit the “Join” button, and you’re part is done. It is that Simple.

I am in no way related to any activity that this group has performed or will perform in the near future. I am spreading the word just because I like appreciating good work, and this is indeed GOOD work. Let’s give these boys a chance to make a difference to the world….let’s help them give “Food For The Soul”!

The Climb…

 

After months of pestering and pushing my brains on to the right track, and still not able to be satisfied with myself for even a single time, I had to - HAD TO - take time off to think – am I doing the right thing? I mean, of course getting into a dream B-School is a tough job and that it takes a lot of hard work and immense dedication to get there….but did I not work hard enough to get a single call from a single ‘DECENT’ college?

Anyway, I can go on and on and sulk all that I want to about my life, and it wouldn’t affect anybody…but the fact remains that the sulking is not going to help….I will have to take a stand of my own, and for my self…because if I don’t, then who will?

I can almost see it, that dream I am dreaming. But there is a tiny voice in my head that says, “You will never make it!”. Every step I am taking, every move I am making – it all feels lost with no direction, and my Faith is shaking! But I….I gotta keep trying….got to keep my head held HIGH!

The struggles I am facing, the chances I am taking – sometimes might knock me down, But No, I am NOT breaking. I may not know it, but these are the moments that I will remember most, and so, I have got to keep going! And I have got to be strong, and just got to keep pushing on.

Because….there’s always going to be another mountain, and I am always gonna wanna make it move. There’s always going to be an uphill battle, and sometimes I will have to lose. It ain’t about how fast I get there, it ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side….It’s the CLIMB!

Come CAT 2010…This time I will be READY! God Bless Me! :)
