There was an article in the web about a 6th grade school girl organizing small games in her group, collecting money for the event and at end of the day, she gave the proceedings (around 800 dollars) for the improvement of children’s lives in poor countries.

Another girl had her own series of greeting cards, sold them and donated the proceedings for a similar cause.

When do you think we should start spending time not for ourself, but for others too. Most of our lives goes like this.. we grow up, get a decent education, get a decent job, marry someone, populate the universe, try harder and harder to fill the niche gaps in our life and then one day you will see angels flying pass by (..assuming there is one). Is this is what we can do most with our lives? Certainly not. There is more and there should be more.

John wood resigned his high profile job in Microsoft to educate childrens in Nepal and Cambodia. Jacqueline Novogratz left her job in Wall street and started helping women in Rwanda, Kenya and in other developing countries. A recent Business week article said that IIM (Indian Institute of Management) graduates are more becoming social entrepreneurs in India or joining not-for-profit organizations with 30% or less of a salary that their fellow peers are offered.

There are about 4 billion people in the world under poverty. There are some 1 billion people who are illiterate. Individuals like above can change a community or communities around. If we are to change the world, it has to be a movement. It has to be something like what Buddha did to mankind with his Enlightment. It has to be something like what Gandhi did to India with his non-violence. It has to be a movement that you and I and everyone should be part of.

Isn’t “now” a good time to start?

For the past couple of days I have been trying to change my lazy, uncool.. in other words the ‘default’ Wordpress theme in my blog. I have actually setup a local web server in my laptop.. just for trying out things before I put them in my online blog. I should have tried atleast couple of dozens of them in these 2 days.. but everything had an issue or other..

If all were fine too, I couldn’t make the pretty URL funda work on the theme..

So until I find a theme and a template that works for me.. you could see some crazy things happening in the blog.. especially in the logistics of the controls in the sidebar.  Forgive me.
