I was trying to recollect songs that I liked during my college days, videos with a concept and amazing direction. One among many such songs is Shehzad Roy's - "Saali tu maani nahi"... this post is not about that song. I was searching "saali..." on online video storehouse a.k.a youtube and I stumbled upon a song "Laga Reh" sung by Shehzad Roy

The song is a great satire on our usual way of leading a life in which we tend to make close to nill contribution towards our neighbourhood, our city or our Nation! We do things they way they are being done from ages, without even questioning why they are done this way? Is there a better way to do it ?

The song made me ponder ways to make our small life memorable, to make a mark out of it. Giving something back to world we live in. Yes! These thought came from listening to this song only. Its a gripping song do try it.

Doing some research over Shehzad on wiki I was surprised to see what all he's trying to do for his society. At 27, he became the youngest recipient of Tamgha-e-Imtiaz similar to our Padma Shri. With a passion for reforming the education of the country he has adopted a govt. girls school. His NGO, Zindagi Trust has face lifted a govt. school that was in ruins to a school equivalent, rather better than a private school in both in curriculam as well as infrastructure. Despite the opposition of fundamentalist society, he is doing the best he can do.

I have personally become a huge fan of his work (apart from his music) and novel idea of school adoption. He's indeed a "roy of hope" for Pakistan’s education system. Wish he get all the support from the government, society for his mission to transform the educational institutes and to provide good education to poor and needy children.

A must watch show about his school is here. Do not forget to watch all 6 parts.

Let the saga that he started prevail...

I was running late for my office today... yea as there was a Weekly Team meeting! I couldn't sleep the previous night because there was no electricity for more than 8 hrs. Yes 8 Hours! probably a power cut or could be a power failure that no one bothered to rectify during the wee hours of night. No one uses electricity that much during night time, so why waste our sleep for a minor fault. That's the thought going in the mind of the Electric Dept. employee. Lets fix this in the morning. I'll not be paid extra if I fix this immediately.

Thankfully I managed to get few hours of sleep early in the morning despite of the heat and humidity. Isn't Bangalore becoming hotter these days ?

I woke up just to find that again there's no water in the house because the motor was not switched on. Thanks to the electricity dept. again. But the story is same elsewhere in Bangalore too, even if there is electricity.

Some marvelous and so called Urban Lifestyle Apartments don't even have a public water supply. So how do they get the water? The best and low cost solution is a Bore well. Present garden city and once a city of lakes is seeing all its lakes going dry, sinking water table. We blame this to the rains and forget at what rate we are draining out the ground water. If you don't have enough ground water, a water taker specially for you is just a call away. An upcoming, fruitful business in Bangalore is famous water(drinking safe) tanker supply, the tanker that will spill gallons of its water over the roads while trying to reach your home. But still will have sufficient water to fill up your basement tank.

I was lucky that there was a bucket full of water...
