Many of us say that these things don't work in India . Couple of months back, the Faridabad Municipal Corporation laid new roads in his area and the residents were very happy about it. But 2 weeks later, BSNL dug up the newly laid roads to install new cables which annoyed all the residents. A resident used the above listed grievance forum to highlight his concern. To his surprise, BSNL and Municipal Corporation of Faridabad were served a show cause notice and the guy received a copy of the notice in one week. Government has asked the MC and BSNL about the goof up as it's clear that both the government departments were not in sync at all. So use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility. This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the 'System' in India .

Fav. Quotes from Steve Jobs

Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

What is the purpose ?

What is the purpose of everything that happens around and everything that i do ? I have some 60-70 years, i study something which will be obsolete in some 100 years, so is it like am just a brick on which a wall is made, is it like i may chose to be a part of the wall or to lie in dust and be of no use. But even if i chose to be a part, what do i gain - that wall is going to crumble some day coz thats the cycle of life, so why do i build it in the first place. I earn something which is all man made, isnt it like playing it a game of cards in which i score and at the end of the game i get up and go and i realise i gained nothing but lost all the time that i had. If i stop today and look back at what i did ?..............................
i had a nice childhood, a good student life, bagged a decent job and salary, i still aspire to earn more and earn what - money !!, so that i get all comfort ? But thats a localised posession coz drop me on himalayas and that money is of no use to me, so what did i gain in real, nothing.. did i waste all these years then ? But what do i do to gain something which will be there for me here and at himalays and everywhere and for always and what is that thing ? I dont know and till i dont know i do what i see around, i work to earn more , even though i know its fake but i still do coz i have no other option. But someday i would like to know "THE PURPOSE"
