  8. You take my breath out of me .. And rope it with the winds… In my hands, I made you sing for me , On the roads, You made me dance for you I fill you with fuels and foments, You fill me with bills and burns.

  13. A day etched in my memory forever.. An 11 hour long ride in the rain.. That was just a day before the floods in Karnataka.. Next day, in the news, I could see all the places I had passed by were badly affected.. Drenched in water top to toe..Now when I ponder over that eternal experience, Its simply awesome… “For oft, when on my couch I lie, in vacant or in pensive mood, they flash upon that inward eye..which is the bliss of solitude and then my heart with pleasure“ - WW

  16. Sariska – The Tiger Reserve (without Tigers) • Deep in the heart of this famous wild life sanctuary, four tiny villages of 100 families living their solitary life. • Among Kankwari, Umri, Haripura and Kiraska, I got a chance to visit Umri which is around 40 km away from the normal civilization and spoke to villagers who avidly await a miracle to happen every time they begin a new day. • Dilemma that conflicts between the vanishing wild life and the hungry human kind.. • “ No electricity.. • No education for children .. • No vehicles allowed .. • No agriculture .. • No means of transport .. • No wells .. • No business .. • .. and I am 70 years old, with one more unmarried daughter.

  25. Day 11: runaway railway kids @ Vigyan Foundation

  26. runaway railway kids • Our typical day at platform consists of • feeling hungry • fear of being “caught by police” • fear of strangers • fear of being beaten up • restless and sleepless • clothes less

  27. Source of poverty : - Natural Calamity (out of our control ) - Society ( lack of education, corruption, unstable, cartelized power governments , caste, social inequality, health issues, extreme difference in income ratio.. ) But I wonder isn’t the so called “system of society” designed for the entire humanity rather than just a few, the rich get richer and poor get poorer.

  28. “ Terrorism isn't insanity. It grows out of social conditions that are well known: poverty, social oppression, dictatorship, and a void of meaning in the lives of ordinary people. ” -Deepak Chopra

  36. "Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station" - Lisa St. Aubin de Teran Day 18 @ Ongole

  37. Most of the people asked The possible solutions for poverty clearly depend on what is chiefly causing it, and this can clearly vary with time and with place. Poverty can not be merely deal with money and other resources. I think the first step is to little conscious about action and our ways of living which affect the environment and others, and how we can help reduce that impact. Like when we saw a poor guy on a road; a smile or a sly look !? Awareness can be done in many ways, but the effective influence or awareness will be created from the way we live our life.
