For a Better India

There are hundreds and thousands of social groups, forums, websites and what not that depict the poor face of India, the problems that we are facing, how over the next decade we are going to screw up, how the economy is taking us down and blah blah blah. The focus of each of these are the problems, they depict all the negativities and issues that we have as a country. While listing out the problem is a good way to look at it but it also makes one wonder what a country we are, certainly does not help the hoards of young crowd that we have.

However, thankfully there is one such forum that is different and takes a complete new perspective to the way we look at it. It is launched by a Bangalore based couple Dhimanth Parekh and his wife. Take a look at it here and am sure you will love it. As the website tells it is about the unsung heroes doing their duty at the ground level, this is about people who make the difference and not just talk. This also shows us and points us towards where we can help. There are a lot of people who have the willingness to help but do not know where to start if you are one of them make use of it.

Hopefully this will change the way we look at India and motivates us to contribute more.

Simple things that would help us going green.
