“All Of Us Want Clean City, But Not Those Who Clean It” This Couple From Jalgaon Left Their Jobs To Educate Waste-Pickers
Today, we live in a world which is rapidly changing and all of us are striving only to become a part of the rat race. This change has almost made us forget about those who are not even competing, those who are struggling not to fulfil their dreams and ambitions but to survive, each day, with almost no resources. Luxuries are not even something that is there even in their wildest imagination. They are the children without homes, having dreams for them is like a waste.

One-year-old Joseph Tidd
and Orlando Pride player Carson Pickett have a lot in common: They
both love soccer. They’re both athletic. And they both have partially formed
left arms, which they tapped together last month in a photo that’s flying across the Internet.
The arm bump happened when Pickett, 25, jogged over to Joseph’s family
after hearing them cheer at a home game. She repeatedly tapped her arm against
his as he shrieked with glee, said Joseph’s mother, Colleen Tidd, who scrambled
to take pictures as her husband held Joseph, decked out in a purple Pride
T-shirt.

Every Day This Man Drives Hours In Drought To Provide Water To
Thirsty Wild Animals
When it comes to lending a hand to a furry friend in need, there is
nothing an animal lover won’t do.
We’ve seen people go above and beyond to help an injured pigeon,
provide shelter for homeless animals, and even save pigs from a burning barn.
And this story is no different.

A soldier named Nobushige came to Hakuin, and asked: “Is there really a paradise and a hell?”
“Who are you?” inquired Hakuin. “I am a samurai,” the warrior replied.
“You,
a soldier!” exclaimed Hakuin. “What kind of ruler would have you as his guard?
Your face looks like that of a beggar.” Nobushige became so angry that he began
to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued: “So you have a sword! Your weapon is
probably much too dull to cut off my head.”
As
Nobushige drew his sword Hakuin remarked: “Here open the gates of hell!” At
these words the samurai, perceiving the master’s discipline, sheathed his sword
and bowed.
“Here
open the gates of paradise,” said Hakuin.
Interpretation :: The difference between heaven and hell is a matter of perspective. How we choose to perceive the experiences of our journey of life is the difference between heaven and hell.
I am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
My journey of stepping into writing began I realized that there are many ideas I wished to convey to all without sounding judgmental or patronizing. Writing then became my passion as I was able to do all of this quite effectively. This connected me with a variety of people who shared their journeys with me. In the midst of all this, I was diagnosed and recovered from multiple sclerosis that also got published as a book. I am certain that my recovery was possible not just because of the techniques that I used, most of which was alternative healing techniques but also because I used the approach of body, mind and spirit healing, where the spirit gives us faith, mind gives us positivity and the body follows the instructions that it receives. I have been the Asst Editor of Life Positive magazine and trained people, both children and adults in spoken and written English. All through my journey, I have realized how powerful writing is to convey messages of who we are. Now, six books of mine have been published. These comprise of two books for children; a collection of short stories on religion and an adventure story published by Rupa & Co. A book of Teaching Stories published by Life Positive in 2008. More Teaching Stories published in 2011, Elixir for Zylake, a childrens’ book published by Life Positive in December 2013 and Dancing with Life published by Hay House in 2015. I have also self-published a novel on Kindle recently. The novel is all about the quest of identity interwoven in the loves and lives of three generations of people in India and Afghanistan. The story conveys the emotions of people in the pre-independence era when Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan and Mahatma Gandhi were pretty active in spreading their message of non-violence. It shows how common people were affected both by physical violence and non-inclusion in their own land. Some pre-Independence violence and disharmony is conveyed while even the current terrorism and intolerance is brought out with the end ending on a note of hope and love. The primary message that the novel seeks to convey is the commonality of all people and their emotions and a search that all of us have for our own roots and identity. The novel ultimately brings out the fact that humanity is indeed one and our identity, no matter what the origin may be, is one of oneness, unity and love. For, we all are indeed from the same source, whatever we may call it.am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
