Big Change - Living a Meaningful Life
The stories of Evan, Mittal and Arunachalam are
simply amazing. Living a life for a cause is not easy but is simply amazing. All
the three stories, Stopping gendercide, Plight of Nomadic Tribes and Usage of
Sanity Napkins, is all happening in today’s world and we all know about this
but these people have taken the issues into their own hands for the benefit of
a lot more people and yes are definitely living a more meaningful life.
The first story by Evan Grae Davis is about
stopping gendercide. Gender specific abortions is on the rise in India, though
we have rules that pre determination of sex is illegal and is punishable under
the law, it still persists. Mr Davis, a world traveler filmmaker by profession
is working towards this cause.
The second story by Mittal Patel talking bout the
plight of nomadic tribes, who don’t even have a voter's identity card to prove
their identity is astonishing. Government has certainly taken to the cause of serpents
than human beings. Amazingly Gujarat, a state which is in news for all kinds of
development, this is the other side. A community which earns livelihood by
prostitution is heart trenching. By getting 8 women married from the community
Ms. Patel and her organization has helped the community to get a life.
The third story by Mr Arunachalam Muruganathan is
a success story. A jolly good man, taking the stage to laughter with his
anecdotes. As he speaks about his experience of the strange way the chemists
behave when asked about a sanitary pad is extremely funny. But yes off course
it is still true in our country. Though very little educated his concepts are
really interesting. That is the reason he is invited to country's big B schools
for lectures.
All the three stories have given us a reason to
make our lives more meaningful by helping the society we live in and caring for
the same.
