End of the World or A Change in the World?

All of us, in one point of our lives, have thought about the end of the world. Am I right or Am I not wrong?
I have thought about it. Life and Death are two things that cannot be explained properly. There are many unanswerable questions under both these topics. Have you ever thought about it? Why do people die? Every second, a person is dying. Every second, a baby is born. I am not going to try to answer these questions or write philosophies or make my own theories. I saw a picture recently... well not recently... somewhere before the 21st of 2012 December. The picture you see below :

I never wanted the world to end. In spite of all the bad things in this world, I always thought that this World is a beautiful place to live in. I guess I am way too optimistic!
Let me confess, I forget to think about the people who wish that they could be in my place while I complain about how 'less' I have.
Then I think about this. It's really true... It will be better if the world ends rather than it continuing the way it is. There are a lot of terrible things happening in our world! The causes are none other than, Humans.
You see the kids in the picture...? I'm pretty sure, there will be more fruits in the shampoo of a rich man than their plates. We might cry silently in our homes thinking about these innocent kids. We might pray for them. But, is that the least you can do? No, it ain't.
There is a lot of changes that need to happen in our present world to make it a better place. There is world hunger, there are political problems, terrorism, atrocities against women... the list goes on and on.

It is a pity that our world has so many problems. The biggest problem : People's attitude towards them.
Half the world doesn't give a damn about things. The other half thinks that they can't do anything about it.
And there a few. very few, trying to bring a change. But they are not recognized in the big chaos. In fact, they are pushed away.

I can't possibly sit and type solutions for each and every problem in the entire world.
This post is just a reminder that we have the freedom to speak up. When we see something that is wrong, we have to speak and try to bring a change. It might be risky in some situations... but if you succeed, you will be the Hero.
You must have heard this : Life is short and it's all about taking risks.
So.. ready to be a Hero? Or give a Zero?

What young India wants

Most of you must have heard about the Indian writer, Chetan Bhagat.

' Chetan’s books have remained bestsellers since their release, and have been adapted into major Bollywood films. The New York Times called him the ‘the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history.’ Time magazine named him in the “100 Most Influential People in the world” and Fast Company, USA listed him as one of the world’s “100 most creative people in business.” '

He has written six amazing books and I have read all of it... Well, at least most of it. My favorite ones are "Five point someone" and "Two States - The Story of my Marriage" . Currently, I'm reading his first non-fictional book, What Young Indian Wants. I thought I will share my thoughts about that book.

I bought this book on the month of September of the year 2012. But, someone who had read the book, told me that she found it boring as it wasn't fictional. It was just so many essays together in a book. That is exactly the reason why I did not read it until yesterday night. That proves that I haven't finished the book yet. But this book is going to help me in the long run, I'm sure.
I started reading this book and I just was so sunken in the book and couldn't stop reading. You see, I am that type of a person who looks for a change. And in this book, Chetan Bhagat looks at and analyses the complex issues that India is facing. Not just that, he suggests solutions.

He teaches us the true meaning of wealth. He talks about the corruption in India. We pin-point countless mistakes in our political leaders. But the irony of the situation is that, we are the ones who elected them.
Chetan Bhagat makes us realize the irony here.

"Citizens should be the strict teachers who will tell leaders they have a lot of homework to do.".

I love India. I'm proud to be an Indian. But, yes, there is still a long way to go for India to be corruption-less and better country. 'What young India wants' is a book which can motivate us for a change.
So please... All Indians out there... looking for a change...? Don't know what to do? Unsatisfied with how things are? Want to know what problems our country is facing and what we can do about it? What young India wants is the book that you have to get yourself next!
