Dont just make a living , Design your life and make it meaningful

An Attempt
I see many people around me half-sleep even when they are busy doing things they think are important , this is because i think they are chasing wrong things . The way you get meaning into your life is to devote your self to loving others , devote yourself to your community around you and devote your self to create some thing that gives you purpose and meaning .

The below is one of my attempt to give meaning to my life ......

When I spoke to santhosh my neighbor in my home town Godavarikhani , i've realized that his Communication skills were very poor , though he has scored above 80% in his entire education i am sure this guy is going to struggle in getting job . I know how much pain and struggle the parents has to undergo to pay the fees at Godavarikhani. Parents are in hope that their kids with MCA degree will get a good job and lead a wonderful life . But the reality is no one told the parents and students about the importance of Soft skills in today’s competitive world to get a job , Including the teachers , well they them self are not aware of this fact .

Next day I’ve visited Godavarikhani MCA PG college and interacted with Students and faculties was shocked to find every one is like santhosh . They Can't communicate in English. That time I’ve realized my duty, as a person knowing the Industry i have to explain these students and faculties the importance of Soft skills in their career and in life .

I've coordinated with Mr.Ajay , Ajay is HOD for this college, I've conducted a seminar explaining the importance of Soft skills and also gave them tips and ways to improve their English. Next day i went to citicable channel office and spoke to their MD and convinced him to conduct an interview for me, through which i can reach whole city to explain the importance of soft skills and need to work on them from school age and i did it successfully .

After 2 months I've visited this college , I've asked the students what they have done to improve their communication skills , to my surprise none of them took any steps or attempts to improve their communication skills . I felt these guys need little push so gave another motivational speech to these students , there were 40 students , this time i wanted to see action from these students.

So we all agreed to meet a day later and every student will give a presentation with the below rules

1. Topic should be IT related.
2. Presenter Should be in Professional attire .
3. Time limit is 4 minutes .
4. The aim of this first session was to Attempt .

I got very good response , 27 students turned up that day with preparation, Students participated with lot of enthusiasm , they spoke on topics like web 2.0 , e-commerce, IT in India , Java Technologies, OS etc.

I've selected 2 winners and presented them Pen Drive as Prize .

To take it forward I’ve also drawn an action plan for which all students have agreed , Now on these guys and girls will meet weekly twice ( Monday and Wednesday ) to conduct these type of sessions among them selves . I've chosen 3 captains who will co ordinate these .

I know how much it will help these students once they come out of the college and face the world .

Most of these students studied in telugu medium , they need more help , but as i work in Bangalore , Godavarikhani is too far to travel frequently So i am planning to conduct Online sessions for these guys with the help of few volunteers from Bangalore .

So this is one of my efforts to make my life meaningful , i see so many ways and possibilities around us to help our country to develop .If we all start putting such small efforts i am sure we will be a Developed Nation soon .Sare jahase acha hindusthan hamara .....banana hey hamare desh ko .....Jai Hind.
