Save our Culture......

Indian culture is the most ethnic and valued throughout the world as of i know. I could see foreigners in Pondicherry dressed in Khavi or Saree and dhoti and with flowers adorned in their head, with a bindi on their forehead. Here in India , our culture has been losing its value and nowadays. We can see girls refusing to wear saree and put tilak in the forehead ( and even so a small one that it is totally invisible). I am a little worried about the vast shift in our culture to westernization. I strongly believe there is a substantial influence of western culture in our Indian youth. I have seen girls wanting to expose more than to hide their inner beauty. The attraction lies where? What is that which is important? Many of us fail to say Namaste or Vanakam, We prefer saying a hi. We also admire our children calling us Papa and Mama or Daddy and Mummy than Appa and Amma. I have heard of Indian families settled abroad insisting on Indian culture to their children and practicing it. The colourful festivals and food has been attracting others but us..... Isnt it weird?The paintings and carvings on our historical buildings is of great value only to the tourists ah? How do we insist on the importance of culture to our children ?. Everyone is his or her own countryman - why can’t we be our own as well?Will this mission ever be complete Pl . share ur views with me......

Born with a mission

I am here to complete my mission of throwing light to all of u, that all of us are born to accomplish missions. We grow, not realising this, in due course, completing many missions without knowing the purpose or its process. Birth of a child indicates a women of being a mother and a man a father.... Mission accomplished. Do we realise this at any time. ... The process goes on ... even if one realises or not. A mission well known is rated far too better than a mission not realised. Growth and maturity makes one realise this . At any point in our life its important for us to realise that we are born to complete a mission. By the time we realise life flies off and missions stay incomplete. "Born with a silver spoon", "Born to rule", are some phrases which made me think are those people born with a mission. Am i born with a mission ?. I am yet to realise it. The path of my life has passed through hurdles to achieve many missions though, the question still rises in me Am i born with a mission. Achievers have always been adorned with the praise that they r born to do this and that.. But did they realise that in any part of their life? Many a times i have felt that one needs to sacrifice lots and to cuddle to the warmth of friends and family to accomplish a mission. Before we jump to achieve something it is always better to raise within us this question that are we born with a mission.......
