Hope!

"Hope" and "Wait" are the two words that contain the entire human wisdom according to the French novelist and playwright Alexandre Dumas. So today I'm going to tell you all something about Hope. Hope is my family, my happiness and my committment.
Hope is a home for orphan and under priveledged children. Its a genuine pleasure and an absolute joy to see the smiles on the faces of these children aged between 2 and 15. Once you're there the children wont let you go and you wouldn't like at leave the place either (well atleast this applies to me). Hope is my addiction and i can never get enough of it :)
We have most fun when we play kabadi and let me tell you the girls are better than the boys.
There are some dancing stars too. Few of the kids participated in a Disney channel sponsored High School Musical dance competition and won the first prize for the Andhra Pradesh Zone on behalf of their school.
Lots more to tell you...... to be continued!

Need a link to Hope's website. Need to understand if there is any way we can interact with these children? We can both learn in the process?

Hello Smriti, wow what an amount of time it takes to write so much.
Vast knowledge but needs vast time to read all.
Some are not as clever as you.
One word of wisdom to save your life is to
AVOID UNNECESSARY INFORMATION
lOVEING THE FATHERLESS, AND ORPHANS AND TO HAVE CLEAN HANDS AND COOL HEAD IS THE BEST.

Books Books Books

Books??? What are they? A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a sheet is called a page. A book produced in electronic format is known as an e-book. Okay that got too serious :-) Who needs books?? We don't. We're Gen X. We flee from books the way a Princess would flee from an ogre (everybody is not Princess Fiona). But I guess in this context, if a book is an ogre and I a Princess, then I'd love it with all I have. I've been brought up reading, reading, reading or rather I choose to grow up that way. The habit of reading is said to be the most sophisticated and civilized habit. Who cares we're all rebels we don't need books to make us civilized. Or do we? The definition of being civilized has also changed. For our predecessors, being civilized mainly meant being cul...

Novels Into Movies!

Reading a novel or watching a movie, which one would you prefer as your best mode of entertainment? In today's modern world novels are things of the past we'd rather prefer a movie. I'll tell you why. Who has the time to sit with a 600 page book for days together to enjoy a good story? Nobody, not today atleast. Thats why people prefer to watch a story that begins and ends within 3 hours and also gives visual pleasure. But my query is what about those movies that are made on these 600 - 1000 pages novels? Do we watch them? If we do, do we like them? Most of such movies are a filled with a little or (in most cases) lots of "masala" to suit the sesibilities of the so called "audiences". The best example I would quote here is Jane Austen's timeless classic "Pride and Prejudice" and Gurinder Chadda's murderous attempt to make it into a movie bollywood style! I wished Eliza and Dracy didnt exist in the novel after having watched this disaste...

Africa

Africa!!! 'The Dark Continent" they call it. Why is it called so? Ever wondered why? Is it because its natives are black skinned? I don't think so. From my point of view it is 'Dark' because its highly backward. No amount of international aid can over come the rate of starvation deaths, infant mortality rate, and also the number of people infected with HIV and AIDS. Why is Africa, (the richest continent in the ancient days, read about the Pharoahs of Egypt or the Empire of Ethiopia) in such a state today? Do we blame it on the whites who rule them even today for destroying their culture and hereitge and rendering them helpless with an identity crisis? Why are the blacks so violent? Is it because of their violent past? Is it because of the violent legacy left behind by the Europeans? Or is it just because they like being tough? Can anyone answer my questions? Africa has been on my mind since childhood and i need answers. If anyone of u who visit my blog have any an...
