Great Decision

How to Convince Yourself NOT to Commit Suicide

Are you thinking of committing suicide but know you shouldn't? The guide will hopefully help you not commit   suicide.

1. Think about it. Are the problems that you want to end by suicide that awful and permanent that nothing could alleviate them? Although you may not think so now, you will recover from your problem or problems and live out the rest of your life happily. There are no problems in this world that can be solved by suicide.

2. When you are thinking rationally, try to think of solutions to your troubles that are constructive, and that will help ease the hurt you're going through. The person attempting suicide doesn't truly want to die -- insted they just want the pain to stop.

3. If there's someone who cares about you, you should talk to them about your suicidal thoughts. Many people have experienced thoughts of suicide, it would be good idea to talk to one of those people to get over it.

4. If you're really close to committing it might be good idea to admit yourself to some kind of hospital where they can monitor and stop you from killing yourself and keep you safe, so you don't become a victim of suicide do it.

5. Does any problem, thing or person have the control of your happiness and decide whether you're happy or not? NO. You have control over this person and nobody has control over it and can decide it for you.

6. Will your decision affect others? While the pain may have stopped for you. The amount of grief that your relatives will feel will last their lifetime. Do you want your pain to go with them for the rest of their life’s? Or would you rather work it out and get rid of the pain from your life altogether?

7. You're the owner of your life, of which you only get one. Your existence is special. Why don't you leave that thing, situation or problem which forces you to finish your life and start a new life in a new place with new people in new working environment.

Some tips to save water

• When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water.
• Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading with air-cooled appliances for significant water savings.
• Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street.
• Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
• Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated strips.
• Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps.
• Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable food waste instead and save gallons every time.
• Plant in the fall when conditions are cooler and rainfall is more plentiful.

Wedding Food Goes Waste

After the big fat wedding is done with and the guests have gone home, what remains is the litter, dirty dishes and piles of excess high-calorie food.

Enough to feed lakhs of children, in a country where malnutrition has been termed a "national shame" by Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh. Statistics show that every third malnourished child in the world is an Indian.

A survey shows that annually, Bangalore alone wastes 943 tonnes of quality food during weddings. "This is enough to feed 2.6 crore people a normal Indian meal," a study by a team of 10 professors from the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Bangalore, has concluded. The team, under the guidance of UAS vice-chancellor K Narayana Gowda, surveyed 75 of Bangalore's 531 marriage halls over a period of six months.

"About 84,960 marriages are held at 531 kalyana mantapas (marriage halls) in Bangalore every year. About 943 tonnes of high-calorie quality food is wasted in these halls annually. At an average cost of Rs 40 per meal, the total food wastage in the city is estimated at Rs 339 crore," the study said.

On an average, 1,000 people attend a wedding where two meals are served - lunch at the wedding and dinner for reception, besides breakfast.

"About 10-20 items are served at a wedding ceremony. The maximum items served include 100 grams each of soup and juice, followed by 50 grams each of puri and pulao," the survey stated. It also concluded that rice and cereals were on top, making for 35% of the wastage.

"On an average, a typical wedding meal is very rich in energy. Each meal may have 1,239 calories, enough to meet an entire day's requirement of a child! The wastage per meal amounted to 20% at 246 calories," said Gowda.

"The survey sought to bring to light the criminal wastage of food during Indian weddings. Our aim is to create awareness and sensitize the public not to waste food. We found that food wastage was more with buffets than served meals," said professor PK Mandanna, of agricultural marketing, UAS.

The university has scheduled a brainstorming session on the issue at its GKVK campus on Saturday. Those interested can attend.

'Guests should be sensitized'

"Food wastage is a big concern during weddings. We need to create awareness among people and sensitize them against wasting food. Hosts must put placards with messages saying guests must not waste food and take only what they can consume. Nowadays, professionals serve food, which is working positively," says Vasan T, proprietor, Gowrishankar Mahal, west of Chord Road.

Times View

The next time you savour a wedding feast, spare a thought for the masses which go without two square meals a day. Especially children. At Indian weddings, where guests are plied with good food, there's always excess. This can be channelized to feed the poor, as some NGOs are already doing. Which goes to show there's enough to go around. India produces enough for its people, but the bulk of the food reaches those with purchasing power. It is the economics which needs to be balanced.   --  The Times Of India

Stop Corruption

“Corruption is authority plus monopoly minus transparency.”

Old Age Homes:

India there are thousands of old people both Men and women are begging at the road side, it is not because that is their business or they like to do that but the reason is because their children are not willing to take care of them and feed them , and since they are very old they can not work and earn money to feed themselves, so this remains the only way for them to beg house to house or at the road side, they sleep on the footpath because they do not have any other shelter, they can not effort to go to the Doctor even if they become sick, so many of them die at the road side and their children do not even accept their dead bodies.

Some of the Organizations have decided to construct a old age homes for such people, some of the addresses I gathered and click the below link to download the addresses.

Some Ways to Help the Poor people

There are a number of poor people throughout the world and if you are one of the people that is more fortunate, it's natural to want to find ways that you can help poor people, especially during the holidays. You can choose to help people directly through your volunteer efforts or you can contribute to organizations that find help for the poor. Assess your personal situation and available resources to find the best way for you to help those that are less fortunate.

      Research organizations to see how much of your money helps the poor. All organizations need to use some of the financial donations that they receive to cover overhead costs.

          If you have more money than time, it makes sense to make a financial contribution to non-profit organizations that help poor people. You can find organizations that help all kinds of people--from the people in your neighborhood to people in countries around the world.

      Donate goods that poor people need. When you donate goods, such as Food to a “Food Bank” or Toys to the “Toys for Tots program”, you can be sure that your full contribution goes to help poor people.

     You don't have any money to spare; you can help the poor through volunteering. Find an organization that needs manpower. If you find an organization that fits with your interests, you'll be more likely to stick with it.

     Train people for a new career. If you have specialized skills, take the time to train people that may be interested in the same career. For example Basic computer skills, open Free Tuition center for poor children etc.

HAPPY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

Hi Friends,

The New Year’s resolution is a commitment to a personal goal that an individual makes to a project or the reforming a habit, often a lifestyle change.

These commitments normally go into effect on the New Year’s Day. Some examples include resolutions to donate money to the poor more often, become more assertive, or become more environmentally responsible.

Most of the resolutions are about improving health, losing weight, doing more exercise, eating better, drinking less alcohol, quitting smoking, improving finances, getting out of debt, saving money, improving career and getting a better job, etc.

“Resolutions can be made on any occasion like birthday, wedding anniversary, festive days etc. These days are only landmark days. For example, cigarette smoking can be stopped on the advice of a doctor on a landmark day,”

“Most of the resolutions come from the feeling of failure and to do something".

“When you are frustrated and feel that you can not reach a certain point in life, resolutions give you a moral boost".

ADVANCE HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011.

Global Warming

Please Stop the Global warming.


What is global warming? 

Global warming is when the earth heats up (the temperature rises).  It happens when greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and methane) trap heat and light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increases the temperature.  This hurts many people, animals, and plants.  Many cannot take the change, so they die.

What is global warming doing to the environment?

Global warming is affecting many parts of the world.  Global warming makes the sea rise, and when the sea rises, the water covers many low land islands.  This is a big problem for many of the plants, animals, and people on islands.  The water covers the plants and causes some of them to die.  When they die, the animals lose a source of food, along with their habitat.  Although animals have a better ability to adapt to what happens than plants do, they may die also.  When the plants and animals die, people lose two sources of food, plant food and animal food.  They may also lose their homes.  As a result, they would also have to leave the area or die.  This would be called a break in the food chain, or a chain reaction, one thing happening that leads to another and so on.  

The oceans are affected by global warming in other ways, as well.  Many things that are happening to the ocean are linked to global warming.  One thing that is happening is warm water, caused from global warming, is harming and killing algae in the ocean.

Algae is a producer that you can see floating on the top of the water.  (A producer is something that makes food for other animals through photosynthesis, like grass.)  This floating green algae is food to many consumers in the ocean.  (A consumer is something that eats the producers.)  One kind of a consumer is small fish.  There are many others like crabs, some whales, and many other animals.  Fewer algae is a problem because there is less food for us and many animals in the sea. 

Global warming is doing many things to people as well as animals and plants.  It is killing algae, but it is also destroying many huge forests.  The pollution that causes global warming is linked to acid rain.  Acid rain gradually destroys almost everything it touches.  Global warming is also causing many more fires that wipe out whole forests.  This happens because global warming can make the earth very hot.  In forests, some plants and trees leaves can be so dry that they catch on fire. 

What are people doing to stop global warming?  

People are doing many things to try to stop global warming.  One thing people are doing is carpooling.  Carpooling is driving with someone to a place that you are both going to.  This minimizes the amount of greenhouse gases put into the air by a car.

Another thing that people are doing is being more careful about leaving things turned on like the television, computer, and the lights.   A lot of people are taking time away from the television, and instead, they are spending more time outdoors.  This helps our planet out a lot.  Now, more people are even riding buses, walking to school, and riding their bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air.  Planting trees and recycling also helps.  If you recycle, less trash goes to the dump, and less trash gets burned.  As a result, there are fewer greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere. 

Watch what you buy.  Many things, such as hairspray and deodorant, now are made to have less of an impact on the atmosphere.  Less greenhouse gasses will rise into the air, and global warming will slow down.
