Fortunate!

"If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of the entire world. If you have money in your wallet, a little change and can go anywhere you want, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who won't survive this week and die. If you can actually read this message and understand it, you are more fortunate than the 3 billion people in the world who cant see, dont know english or suffer being mentally retarded! Life is not about the list of pains... Its about a 1000 other reasons to be happy!"

p.s: Hats off to the mind who thought of these facts!

I am sorry, but I think its no reason to be happy. A worls where just having some food and a roof makes you amongst the top 25% is not a great world to be in. Its a sad world where 75% people do not have access to the basics. And the blame goes to the top 25% more blame goes to the top 5% and even more blame goes to the top 1% and so on... I dont think I will be happy because I am better than others .... Or because others are worse...

Woww... If you see life in this perspective, then this post wasn't meant for people like you! I feel the fatal syndrome of sympathy seeking which is rampant in our society needs facts like these, to kill it from the bud!

Btw, cant help notice the change of infinite coming into non-anonymous being!! You seem to have traversed long distance yaar! :-) Feels great to see this change! :-)

If I am a memory

  Our meeting was a stroke of serendipity, There was no history neither familiarity. Yet we bonded like a house on fire! So if I am a memory...
