Wonderful Vikas. I also feel a lot can be done if we have positive role models for a simple life style. And if we make it admirable to adopt, to give for charity to say no to dowry…!! And this approach is one powerful way to change mindsets and attitudes.
If celebrities can change fashion, they can change attitudes too. Vikas you have seen Bell Bajao Campaign? It works on the same concept.

Toms,

You are absolutely right. I recently donated 1000 Rupees to UNESCO and I felt so good.

I appreciate your views. About setting apart 10% of the income.As a part of my christian belief, I set apart 10% of the income for charity. It is called tithe (etymologically from from tenth or 1/10th). It is greatly satisfying. First you feel you have plenty to spare. It prevents you from taking silly illegal gratifications. The philosophy is simple- if you can not live happily with 90% of the income, you can not be happy even if you get that 10%. Of course, I know charity is not a substitute for social justice. But some thing is better than nothing.

Originality is reflected in your article .

i honestly think that for any change to happen our political system needs to be cleaned ,I have some ideas which may be scandalously outrageous but will write a post on that soon.

On adverse divide had written on community.check if you have time.
