If It was my world....

In my every day life, I often find myself citing that if it was in my hand or if I could alter and so on and so forth. So i thought maybe by now i have gathered a list for my kind of world...
Firstly I would take away the importance associated with money. It would be just another thing like air, available in abundance to everyone. That would immediately put an end to stress, rat-race, greed, selfishness, power, corruption, crime, war, and inequality and in turn give birth to better things like happiness, relaxation, good health, family union and of course a better life.

Secondly, since money is copious, jobs aren’t necessary but important enough to continue living on this earth and be occupied and busy.
In my world, there won’t be any restrictions on jobs. No stress on education specific jobs. Anybody could chose to do anything till the time they are performing and doing it efficiently.

Thirdly, I would eradicate the word terrorism from the world’s dictionary. This doesn’t mean I would take measures to fight terrorism. If that would have been possible, it would have been done so far.
I want to simply eradicate it like small pox. Small pox was eradicated by successful vaccination by WHO. That’s exactly what I plan to do.
I won’t do it for a social cause or to get a good name for myself but for my own selfish reason, which is to have a safe and secure life.

Fourthly, I would make more hill stations and beaches for relaxation and recreation. Hill stations with absolute greenery, scenic roads, beautiful weather and scrumptious food. Beach with white sand, clear water and profuse aquatic life.

Now that I have a world, where money is omnipresent, free from evil, people are free to work, out of their own choice and live happily and peacefully with their families. Plentiful places for leisure and fun. Isn’t it a better place??

(Disclaimer: Since it’s my world, no logic holds true :))

Never Changing Childhood

During my childhood days, my mom often asked me to recite poems, prayers, shlokas etc in front my Grand Mom, Uncle, Aunts and many other relatives. At other occasions, I use to dance, do mimicry, and show off my paintings to whosoever came home. She did that as she loved me and was proud of me for what I did. As a kid, I enjoyed that attention and use to be elated when people appreciated.
Today when I think about it, I feel so embarrassed and my mom giggles, but something’s never change. Now I see my brother and sister in law doing the same with my nephew and niece...These little ones also enjoy the spotlight as i did and become prey to people’s entertainment. :)

Everything is the same, only their activities have changed like showing off their skills at PS2 & PS3, doing yoga and pranayam, hairstyles & dresses (specifically my niece).
