Social Terrorism!!

In one of my previous post, World is small... we will meet again. I had mentioned about Orkut being a wonderful concept about social networking. Its such a nice thing that it brings together some old friends who have lost touch in their life.But, at the same time it is a curse to the society.

I happen to read an article about orkut, where an Airhostess was defamed by somebody. Her profile was created by somebody without her knowledge and related to vulgar things. It such a nuisance and disturbing to her to face anybody in the society (atleast in the Indian Context). How will anybody feel when such things happen to them. There are lot of cases that are coming up about such things in the recent past. Movie stars/famous personalites photoes has been morphed and put up on the net. During Dandiya, people are taking photoes of girls using mobile cell phone and using it for wrong purposes. Is there any law or mechanism to prevent this? Even if its there, will it be effective? NO!! There is no use of law.

Though technology has progressed, the values are deteriorating day by day. The World has become small, but the people still smaller in their thoughts.Internet is one of the amazing invention, it is a treasure of knowledge. It has brought social networking, at the same time can we call it has given birth to Social Terrorism?

Happy Birthday!!

The last sunday (Jan 21, 2007 ), I happen to visit an Orphanage. One of my senior along with other friends keeps visiting there and keep doing some activities like taking those kids to Movies, Wonderla, Planetarium etc.

This time these people had planned for Birthday Celebration of Kids. The kids were in the age group of 1-5 . They are always in that four walls of the building. I was given the task of decorating, it was reminiscent of my childhood days where I was so excited of decorating during occasions like Ganesh festival etc. Though over a period of time you lose it, this time it brought me that excitement. The kids who were around 20 in number were very much delighted and excited to do the decoration.

After the decoration, the cake was cut for each kid. After that, some snacks was given to them.
I do not know, if those kids are aware of their birthdays. All kids were delighted to have their birthdays, that too all at once. There was a worker who was in-charge of that shishu mandir who was the mother of all kids. The kids used to call her Amma, Mummy...etc. It reminds me of people celebrating their birthdays with lavishly spending and having parties...There is so much of fervor in it. But, here there is no such things for those kids. After all, its life...we have to live with it. What best we can do is try to bring a little smile and happiness to these kids.
