I am here when you are in trouble!!

Hi All,

You know, from quite a time I am realising that you know I am very good at giving advices (only when asked), and motivating  and boosting spirits up. Like, when my friends fail in exams or when they have heart breaks or suppose they are having problems with their spouses or gf/bf or suppose they are not happy about their job. So, when they come to me, with all these kindaa problems I always support them and guide them by giving practical solutions and also keeping their emotions in mind. So, in short u can say that I am a bit of agony aunts types. So, for that purpose I was thinking why not take this thing ahead and to a larger audience. I know that life is not so easy. We all have some or the other problems in life. You know, many times it so happens that I meet some person for the first time in my life and when I spend time with him or her, I find oh he or she is so happy or so well settled and Wow!! what a great bf/gf/spouse he/she has and hey man he is so wealthy, he is driving his own car and things like that but as and when I come closer to him or her and know him more and more with the passage of time, I realise that well all that glitters is not gold. They too are struggling with some or the other problems in their life. So guys, problem in life is inevitable but it all depends on our approach to it and interpretation of the same.

So, for anyone of you out there, if you have any kind of problem and you need to sort it out or just even share  the same as you know you feel light when u open up you may write to me on my blog or mail me on acharya.swati2010@gmail.com. And I wont disappoint you for sure.

Have a Happy Happy Sunday!!

C you all very soon. Cheers!!

Book Review - I Am Malala

Hi All,

I am back and this time I want to share my views with all of you on a Book I read lately - I am Malala. I know the book and the girl "Malala" needs no introduction. The entire world knows about her. But to be very frank, I didn't. Yes I mean it I didn't know about her unless I read this book. Almost 2 years back when she was in the news for being shot by a Taliban "Point Blank range", I just read the headlines and passed on. But after I read the book, I came to know what an Incredible book this is and what makes it incredible is the person "Malala" , her belief in the right of Education of each and every child in this planet, and she made it heard. This story is about Bravery, Courage, Will Power and Belief. It will make you believe in the power of One Person's voice. She proves when you stand for your rights and when you believe in something, what age you are, how much money and power you have does not matter.

Here are we people who have all the resources, money, food, comfort, luxury even and how far do we go in life. By any means we are able to satisfy our needs and that is more than enough. Here is a family who does not have sufficient resources to fulfill their own needs and which is working for the rights of education especially girls education, despite the threatening of Talibans. Where even survival was a challenge they stood for Education rights, which is the basic right of any human being.

A child of her age who is supposed to be playing around with dolls, toys and friends is busy fighting for her as well as others right to education. You will be surprised to hear her speak (@ UN and other conventions), the maturity and the courage that she has. Be it the chaos makers in Nigeria or be it her mentioning in an international tv channel that she wants to become Prime Minister of Pakistan, she has got it all.

It is also the love, support and encouragement of her parents in a society who prizes the son that has made her what she is.

Malala is not just a girl. Malala is a voice. Malala is an Inspiration. Malala is courage. Malalal is bravery. Malala is a Celebration. She is indeed worlds Bravest Girl.

I would like to repeat few lines from the Book:

"We human beings dont realise how great God is. He has given us an extraordinary brain and a sensitive loving heart. He has blessed us with two lips to talk and express our feelings, two eyes which see a world of colours and beauty, two feet which walk on the road of life, two hands to work for us, a nose which smells the beauty of fragrance, and two ears to hear the words of love. As I found with my ear, no one knows how much power they have in their each and every organ until they lose one". This is so simple and yet so true.

Life is indeed beautiful. And we can do so much to make it beautiful for ourselves and others. If we really want to make a difference to others life there is so much to do for Society, for the ones who are underprivileged. Malala proves that if you really want to do something, it does not take money or power to do it, its only your willingness to do it, and the passion for it.

"Indeed, the world bravest girl."  

"I am Malala". I am truly inspired by it.
