They have no parents to scold, but still they are not fighting..
Hi, I’m new here. I usually blog about technology, this is my first post off that category. I’m not sure how it will work out.
Most of us are earning, some of us earn early, like in their pre teens, some people (like me), start earning in their teens and again some people start earning after completing studies and ‘mature’. I have been earning for 2 years now, neither too much nor too often. Yet, the point is, I got some bucks.
What did I do with it? I bought some more domains, web space and even managed to buy a saree for mom. Yeah, I’m good 
But what made me able to earn, was it that I was born with some special skills that those around me never had? No.. simply, I’m just normal and usual. What made me achieve is my opportunities. I had them. I had great parents, who looked after me and were there always to fulfill all my needs. So I was free to chase my dreams and grab my opportunities.
Not only me.. all of us, me and you have those. We are gifted by good parents, who are able to look after us, good schools where they teach us how to achieve in life, or at least some free time and a computer, so you are reading this blog now.
For one second, think of those who are not as blessed as us. Think of those kids in who have never been tucked in by their parents. Think of those mothers who could do nothing but watch when their kids cry for food.
Think once. If you felt something heavy within you, then there is an angel within you and you can help.
I took the resolution to use 10 percent of all my income for helping those who need it. I’m also looking for other ways I can help, like teaching poor kids etc… Feed me your ideas. All of us have responsibility to the world we live in. Today evening I used almost 10 buckets of water for bathing (he he he), there are people walking kilometers to get a pot of water. (this is the worst post I have ever written. I need comments, ideas and like minded people with whom I can work to help those who deserve it. help me.)
This grandma deserves to rest now.
Food for thouight

You were fortunate to be in a country where the government could invest in telecom and communication making possible cheap internet connection for you, roads for transportation, affordable education and health care and peace….
………..money is no solution to some problems in the society…….like alcoholism ……………………you see the poorest of the poor waste their hard earned daily wage at liquor shops and neglect their family starving…in such cases it is the socioeconomic backwardness of people which cannot be solved by money……………….the government has enough money to do all this ,,,,,,,but the systems are bad,…………………………………………………………………………………so ngo’s, trusts and religious groups ought to fill up the vaccum……………..the reasons for poverty are different at different places….we need to study the cause……you got to educate people, train them to be employable rather than giving it directly…..and visit any government medical college you will find many there battling with cancer, waiting for a surgery.There are people who delays urgent surgery because of lack of money……….we got enough money with our people,but most of the ultrarich are not ready to care…spending lakhs for a marriage and cannot share Rs 1000 to a needy is bad……they need to learn from warren buffet …………………..good that saurabh is sharing his money……….
