Distribute Luck (Rather Share Luck)

A little bit of Mech Engg stuff.

Heat flows from high temperature to low temperature.

Fluid flows from high potential energy state to low potential energy state.

Thus nature always tries to bring an equilibrium.

We are lucky. Many people are not. So Luck should flow from us to them.

Weird???

No.

If you are reading this blog, you're lucky. I'm not blowing my trumpet, but I'm trying to make it clear that you being aware that something called blog exists, you being familiar to computer, you being able to understand English, you being able to read and write, you are LUCKY.

If you're still confused about you being lucky, or if you have qualms about not being Luckier, here's the explanation.

We all have studied well, we're doing well in our respective fields. Whom should the credits go to?

Our hardwork, dedication, motivation, intelligence (and so many more abstract nouns to follow)?

Or our luck?

I would say LUCK.

Had you been born in a slum? Would you ever have thought of blogging? Forget blogging, would you have been able to earn enough to make your two ends meet? Would you have studied more than 5 or 6 years of schooling???

All you could imagine, or dream would be a job on a construction site, a job of a helper on a tea stall or household servant.

I guess I've made my point clear. Since our parents were educated and self sufficient, we are what we are. Even the series of abstract nouns mentioned above also originates from here only. What if you had not been able to see the face of the school, you would be dumb.

And being born somewhere is purely a matter of luck. So lucky people, please share your luck. By luck I mean, the opportunities that you had got and many kids are not getting, the awareness that you had had, but the other kids are not having.

If you really want to see India shining, invest your energy in educating the kids in the right manner.

Once Hon. former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalaam had mentioned in a speech at Vallabh Vidyanagar (Gujarat) that the main asset of India is kids, the reason economic journals are shouting about India being the super power is the coming generation. He said that among all the potential countries in the world, India is the youngest when it comes to average age. So, we do have the power, what we need to do is to sharpen the edge.

Apparently, the future of the nation is kids. They have the strength to transform the whole country. Please spend your leisure time in educating the kids who do not get the exposure to the current academic scenario due to monetary or social reasons.

If you have the doubts about how you can start the ground work, please visit http://www.makeadiff.in/ or http://www.bhumichennai.org. Make a difference is the initiative started nationwide and Bhumi is a Chennai based NGO which is working on many socially relevant issues in and around Chennai.

Benevolence is a sky without horizon. There is so much of room. We just need to fit ourselves somewhere and start working for the upliftment of the country.

If you do some constructive work in this regard, I think it will be the best way to celebrate the Independence Day.

Wishing you all a very Happy Independence Day. Jai Hind.
