The Gate way to the New Year.. Month of December



November is gone and December has begun...
December is a month of happenings.. In most part of the world its already winter and people in countries where temperature drops below zero are busy collecting fire woods and winter clothing to beat the winter cold and freezing temperatures. In Australia its summer season, in contrast to the rest of the world in the month of December.
World is getting ready for Christmas and to welcome the New year. Companies, factories and corporates  are getting ready for year end closure and fixing of target for the next year.
Christmas tree and Christmas jingles have already started filling the air... Santa clause will be shortly visiting our home for distributing gifts and blessings...
As an individual we welcome " Hello December" and are ought to think and measure what we have done the last 11months and pen down our plan for next 12 months.. We took vows when the clock struck 12, and we stepped into 2016. Are those vows only customary and forgotten the following day?  No its not... those vows bring changes in our life. Hope all readers have fulfilled their vows... what to do if not fullied? No worries add those left ones in your 2017 list and promise yourself that you will fulfill in the coming year...
 Its also important to thank all those who stood by us and kept motivating us, when we are down and freaking. Visit them and thank them for standing by our side.

For me year 2016 has been great, Although we faced a bit of struggle earlier this year, me and my brother could manage and complete our house construction. It was a great feeling to have all relatives and friends for the house warming.

My blog(Allwyn's blog: The Journey) turned one year old in september 2016. I have posted 23 articles in last 11 months. Thanks to all who read my articles, comment on my articles and encourage me to post more. Continue reading.

In India becoz of de-monetisation general public is desperate to change their 500 and 1000 Rupee notes to new 500 and 2000 Rupee notes. Long queues in banks  and ATM. But is all for good, and hope new prosperity will bloom from January 2017.

Indian space agency ISRO launched eight satellites and put them in different orbita in a single mission.


Month of December is a month of giving, sharing and caring. To end the year in a great note we can offer help to the poor and needy. A visit to the orphanage, old age home or a women's shelter and offer them help would be a great thing to do.
The Gate way to the New year has just opened. "Hello December".Hope everyone has a great year..Share the best moments and other interesting happenings of year 2016.

India and cultural diversity

Image
India is  a beautiful sovereign country and is one of the most culturally diverse country. Anyone in the world would easily accept India as a cultural capital. The list runs miles when we talk about the cultural experience in the form of art, festivals, customs, social behavior etc. In many countries uniform culture is adapted, whereas in India every 100KM one can experience a new cultural variant and in every 500KM can easily experience a completely different culture. If anyone wishes to witness the rich cultural heritage of India, watch the republic day parade on 26th January every year, where cultural diversity of India is demonstrated by a colorful parade. Every state of India showcase their cultural heritage with great pride during the Republic day parade. Its a real treat to watch the cultural diversity.  State of Tamilnadu team in Republic day Parade  Cultural diversity enriches the country with many art forms and enhances creativity.

Are you ready for hefty traffic fine..

Image
It’s a great pleasure to write a blog for a social cause.. Recently government of India increased the traffic fines by almost 10x times hoping that the hefty traffic fines would force public to follow traffic  rules. I have tried to give a dimension to this whole episode with respect to the responsibilities of the Government, Individuals & Institution. The increase in fine has created  uproar as well as support among the public. It is usual in any democracy to have such split opinions. I think I was in 9th grade when my class teacher was very fond of imposing hefty fines. In those time a fine of ten rupees was hefty for a ninth grader. I have been in the construction industry for almost 20yrs. Apart from the hazards at the project site, a constant threat was travel related safety. Hence we were educated to follow the traffic rules time and again. Coming back to the topic, I happened to hear opinion from friends, Indian colleagues about  the hefty fines which have sent shock

A tribute to the fearless man with a turban and big moustache

It was early 20th century... It was more than 50years since Sepoy Mutiny(1857) happened, Well, British governance was facing tough agitation from Indian tribal leaders, Nawab's and Kings in many forms. By then British were  ruling India for more than a century and they have no plans to leave India because of the wealth it possesses, abundance of raw materials and cheap resources . They started Indian rail, planted tea gardens, developed hill stations and India has became a county( I guess) and integral part of Great Britain and Indians became immigrants in their very own country While British were developing infrastructure for the sake of rich and the powerful, we Indians were busy fighting against each other in the name of caste, creed and religion. Many castes were prohibited from entering the temples, denied formal education and women had no respect and rights  in the society. Child marriage, bonded labor  and satti were in practice. India was in dire need of personali
