Our New Year Greeting to Irom Sharmila :)

Almost forgot to mention it here...We sent a New Year Card to Miss Sharmila, inspired by a comment to an address in Imphal:

Since the words aren't legible in the photo,  so I typed them down before sending it to Imphal so that I can share them :) :

The Casus Belli for Teenage Rebellion

‘Rebellion' is one of the first words that come to my mind when I think about teenage. Rebellious teens are some serious business and the way their parents treat them can really influence their efficiency in academics or other such activities... not to mention their personality and future. Here, I'm not really going to talk about how teenagers should be treated, because technically, I'm a teenager. So, I'm bound to advice all the parents out there to pamper their children, rather than give a reasonable solution. So, I'd rather restrict myself to simply pointing out some reasons for the rebellion, which will hopefully help in understanding the way teenagers' minds work.

Reasonable & Unreasonable Parents

There are the parents who are too strict with their rules. In order not to pamper their kids, they establish something short of a dictatorial reign at home. They become too controlling, too interfering and also unreasonable in their punishments and rebukes. But this is not really the case with most parents.

Our Cities are in a Mess

I was recently in Chennai and at first, I was so excited about the malls, the hotels, the government buildings and so many other stuff you usually in see in these great, big, developed cities. But it didn’t really take me long to realize how our cities were, in fact, in a mess. From just the terrace of a building, I could see so many things as proof.

Some distance away, there was a huge gray cloud rising above some scrubs. It was probably because of some people trying to burn away their garbage. But I couldn’t imagine what it would be like for the houses nearby. It definitely wouldn’t be healthy for the atmosphere, that I’m sure of. Then looking down, I saw this great pile of garbage spreading for about twenty yards or so, right next to the compound. Probably, a convenient dumping ground for all the neighborhood garbage.

Jaagore's Campaign For Change

Hi guys!! Well, we posted a while back about Jaagore's Campaign for Change and how we had decided to take part in it... Well, surprise of surprises!! We've won the Second Place!

Sorry for the delay though... We were, of course jumping for joy, to think about anything else. :D

Take a look at the results and our entries HERE

It was a huge surprise indeed, but then... it was a Campaign for C.H.A.N.G.E. after all!! ;)
