This is a story of two brothers. One was a drug addict and a drunkard who frequently beat up his family. The other one was a very successful businessman who was respected in society and had a wonderful family. Some people wanted to find out why two brothers from the same parents, broughtup in the same environment, could be so different.The first one was asked, “How come you do what you do? You are a drug addict, a drunk, and you beat your family. What motivates you?”
He said, “My father.”They asked, “What about your father?” The reply was, “My father was a drug addict, a drunk and hebeat his family. What do you expect me to be? That is what I am.”They went to the brother who was doing everything right and asked him the same question. “How come you are doing everything right ? What is your source of motivation?”
And guess what he said? “My father. When I was a little boy, I used to see my dad drunk and doing all the wrong things. I made up my mind, that is not what I wanted to be.”Both were deriving their strength and motivation from the same source, but one was using it negatively and the other positively….

Message for the Day… ” Never Overlook Your Kids Mistakes…Correct them then and there and Reward them for their Good Deeds….”
Putlibai, Mahatma Gandhi’s mother, spent her life in the contemplation of God. She observed a vow wherein she wouldn’t partake food until she heard a cuckoo sing. One day it so happened that the cuckoo was not heard. Gandhi, a small boy then, couldn’t bear to see his mother fasting for a long time. He went behind the house and mimicked the cuckoo’s song. Putlibai felt extremely sad when she realised that her son was uttering a lie. She cried, “O God! What sin have I committed to have given birth to a son who speaks untruth?” Realising the immense grief he had caused to his mother by uttering a lie, Gandhi took a vow that he would never indulge in falsehood ever again. It is imperative that mothers train their children in moral values right from their childhood. Never overlook children’s mistakes – correct them immediately when they stray away from the righteous path and reward them for their good deeds.

மீன் விற்கும் ஒரு பெண்ணு, பூ விற்கும் ஒரு பெண்ணும், நல்ல தோழிகள். ஒருநாள் இரவு, பூ விற்கும் பெண்ணின் வீட்டில், மீன் விற்கும் பெண் தங்க நேர்ந்தது. ‘இரவு நன்கு தூங்கினாயா?’ எனப் பூ விற்கும் பெண், மறுநாள் காலையில் கேட்க, ‘அதை ஏன் கேக்குற போ… நேத்துப் பூரா எனக்குத் தூக்கமே வரலை…’ என, சொன்னாள் மீனம்மா.
‘அப்படியா… ஏண்டி?’
‘உன் வீட்டில இருந்த பூவோட வாசம், என்னை என்னென்னமோ செய்துடுச்சு. நெடி தாங்கலை; அதனால, தூக்கம் வரலை…’ என்றாளாம் மீனம்மா.
மனிதர்கள் பலரும், இப்படித் தான் இருக்கின்றனர். வழக்கத்திற்கு மாறான எது ஒன்றை பற்றியும், மலைத்துப் பேசுகின்றனர்; மறுக்கின்றனர். செயலில் இறங்கும் முன்பே, குரலிலேயே களைப்பு காட்டுகின்றனர்.
‘என் கூட வேலை பார்க்கிறவரோட மகன் கல்யாணம்; வா… போயிட்டு வரலாம்…’ என கணவர் அழைக்கிற போது, பெரும்பாலான மனைவியர் சொல்கிற பதில்… ‘எனக்கு அங்கே யாரையுமே தெரியாது; நான் தனியா உட்கார்ந்திருக்கணும். உங்களுக்கு, உங்களோட வேலை செய்யுறவங்களைக் கண்டா, தலை கால் புரியாது. என்னை, ‘அம்போ’ன்னு விட்டுடுவீங்க. நான் வரலை; நீங்க போயிட்டு வந்தாப் போதும்; ஆளை விடுங்க…’
இந்த வசனங்களில், சில மாறுதல் இருக்கலாமே தவிர, பதில் என்னமோ மறுப்பு தான்; பதில் என்னவோ அலுப்பு தான்.

” In Varanasi, 3 Oar-Boys Surprised Me with Their Work for a Clean Ganga….” Says this Visitor
R Srinivasan was in Varanasi for some work. A regular visitor of the ghats, he was surprised to see one of the ghats kept very clean, which stood out in comparison to the others. What’s more, it was kept this way by 3 young oar-boys and their father! This is what he found out on further investigation.
I landed in Varanasi last evening to conduct a workshop for all the call-getters from Indian Institutes of Management. These successful aspirants were arriving from eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Varanasi is the cradle of one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, with habitation of this city recorded as far back as 6,000 years ago. It is a fascinating city on the banks of river Ganges and is one of the most sacred destinations for the Hindus, and also for many from the world who throng to see the magical place. It is in the itinerary of many tourists visiting India and some continue to stay here for years.
I have always enjoyed walking by the ghats and galis of Varanasi. Every visit has been a journey of discovery – of the city and of oneself. As usual, I reached the Dashashwamedh Ghat in the darkness of early morning, after walking for about three kilometres. It was drizzling a little.
The ghats were buzzing with activity but less than expected, because of the muggy weather and the winter chill.
The early morning Aarti for Mother Ganges – a river considered to be very pious
I got busy clicking away the magical morning at the ghat – the dips, the aarti, the boats, the colours of dawn. There are 80 ghats and Dashashwamedh is somewhere in between. I proceeded towards the ASSI ghat. Each of the ghats has been built by one kingdom or other from across the country, over the centuries, to shelter the citizens of their provinces when they come to this pious city.
Since the city got settled centuries ago, modern amenities are difficult to come by. The upkeep of Varanasi is far from satisfactory and to the utter shock of most visitors, garbage is found littered in every corner of the street. I keep wondering why. At many locations on the ghats, men relieve themselves, which not only stinks, but also pollutes the already polluted Ganges.
This morning, when I reached the Rana Pratap/Mahal Ghat, I was surprised to see three pisspots neatly lined against the wall in a corner with a note, “kindly do not pollute mother Ganges, use the toilet to relieve yourselves.”
Around the toilet, along the ghat, many flowering plants were blossoming. They were all neatly lined up.
Deepak and Amit proudly posing at their outpost, Rana Pratap Ghat, Varanasi. You can see the toilet corner!
This effort is indeed admirable, especially because it has been envisioned and created by three young Oar-boys who ferry the visitors on the Ganges in their small wooden row-boats. Deepak (13) and Amit (11) along with their elder brother Ravi (19) helped their father in making this happen. Deepak and Amit who solicit customers for the boat rides were filled with pride when they shared about their endeavour. I took their photographs, promising that I will write a story about their conscious effort to keep the ghats clean and tidy. The ghat is stink-free and is a pleasure to walk by.
If only we are conscious of our surroundings, and do our little bit, I am sure we can make a huge difference! Let us strive to make things happen!

Message for the Day…..” When the Tongue is Conquered , Victory is Yours…”
Without the control of senses, spiritual practices (Sadhana) are ineffective; it is like keeping water in a leaky pot. Pathanjali (the celebrated sage and author of the Yoga Sutras) has said that when tongue is conquered, victory is yours. While the eye, the ear and the nose serve as instruments of knowledge about one particular characteristic of Nature, the tongue makes itself available for two purposes: to judge taste and to utter words – symbols of communication. You must control the tongue with double care, since it can harm you in two ways. When the tongue craves for some delicacy, assert that you will not cater to its whims. If you persist in giving yourself simple food that is not savoury or hot, but amply sustaining, the tongue may squirm for a few days, but it will soon welcome it. That is the way to subdue it and overcome the evil consequences of it being your master.

Message for the Day… ” I am in You and You are in ME …”
Be pure, alert and humble. I am in you; you are in Me. You hoist the Prasanthi flag in Prasanthi Nilayam. Remember, the flag is a sign that is significant for each and every one of you. It is a reminder of your duty to yourself, and so when you hoist it you must unfurl it in your own hearts. It reminds you to overcome the urge of low desires, of anger and hate when your desires are thwarted; it exhorts you to expand your heart so that you embrace all humanity, all life and all creation in its compass; it directs you to quieten your impulses and calmly meditate on your own inner reality. It assures you that, when you do so, the lotus of your heart will bloom, and from its center will arise the flame of divine vision, which guaranteesPrasanthi (infinite peace) to every one of you.
“What Is It Like to Be Raised by Indian Parents, You Ask?…. ” Let Me Tell You…
What is it like to be raised by an Indian mother and father, you ask? Well, it’s simple. Your food will be taken care of even if you’re a thousand miles away, and your dad will do his bit, no matter how many times you tell him not to.
My own experience will tell you how!
About a year ago, I was selected for a government sponsored student-exchange program, for which I was supposed to go to Japan for about two weeks. As this was my first trip abroad, my mother started preparations almost a week before I had to leave.
A day before departure, I was packing my bags and Mom was helping me out.
“Son, take some cookies and dry fruits with you. You can take some brown bread as well. It will be useful in case of an emergency,” she said.
“Oh! Mom, I will be staying in 5-star hotels there. I don’t need all this. Don’t worry,” I laughed.
She ended the conversation with -“Okay son, your wish!”
My accommodation had been arranged in Hotel Prince, Tokyo. I arrived at the airport at 1:00 am, and slept off as soon as I reached the room. We had instructions to get up at seven in the morning as the breakfast card of the hotel was valid till 8:30 am only. I got a wake-up call from the reception at 6:45 am, but I decided to sleep for five more minutes. But I knew I had missed breakfast when I finally got up at 9:00 am. I was famished. Going out of the room, I found two of my friends who had also missed breakfast.
Lunch was scheduled at 1:30 pm and there was no way we could have waited till then. We had not eaten properly since we boarded the flight. (The in-flight food wasn’t enough, obviously). We were entitled to free food from the hotel only during the allotted time slots. If we wished to buy or order anything else, we would have to pay. Those who have been to Japan would know how everything is insanely priced there. Even a burger would cost you around 1,200 Yen. Nevertheless, we decided to order something.
Just when I entered my room to get some money, Mom called.
Mom: “Hey. How are you doing?”
Me (weak voice): “All good, Mom.”
Mom: “Why do you sound so weak? Did you eat something since morning?”
Me (cursing myself): “Yes mom. I had breakfast an hour ago. Don’t worry.”
Mom: “Hmm! Are you in your room right now? Check your blue handbag’s back pocket and call me later.”
Me (surprised): “What is it?”
Mom (stern voice): “Do what I said. Right now!”
I immediately checked the bag and found some cookies, dry fruit packets and an instant noodles packet there. I felt like crying for an instant. I called up my friends and all three of us had a hearty breakfast. They couldn’t stop thanking me and my mom.
I called her up later.
Mom: “Did you eat?”
Me: “Yes mom. But how did you know?” I asked.
Mom: “Be quiet and don’t miss your lunch now,” she said. I was overwhelmed.
That tells you enough about an Indian mom, I think. Now, let’s talk about being raised by an Indian father.
It was the day of a very important exam for me. Mom informed that my dad had got ready two hours earlier to drop me to the exam centre.
“Have you taken all the important stuff? Admit card, writing material and all that?” he asked, adding “Check again.”
“Yes dad. I’ve checked 3 times already dad. No need to check again,” I said.
I went to have breakfast. On coming back to take my bag, I found an extra set of writing material (pen, pencil etc.) and a copy of the admit card kept on the sofa.
*In the car*
Dad: “Did you take the stuff I kept on the sofa?”
Me: “Yes dad.”
Dad (convinced smile): “Good!”
No matter how much I tell him, he will never be convinced until he has done his bit.

Can Drinking Water Be Produced from Thin Air? Yes, and It Is Happening Right Here in India…
In a country where women often have to walk miles to find and collect drinking water for their families, the WaterMaker project to produce water from thin air is no less than magical. It is, in the words of one grateful recipient, “khuda ka paani.”
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words: “producing water from air”? When Meher Bhandara, the founder and director of WaterMaker India, heard them, she was intrigued. “Water from air? How is that possible?” she wondered.
Today, Meher and her small team of eight people, are making it possible for many places in rural India to enjoy clean and pure drinking water produced right out of air.
People taking water from an Automatic Water Generator
“When we first heard of this technology in 2004 from a scientist in the US, we laughed. But after he told us more about it, the first thought that struck us was that India needed clean drinking water desperately. We checked out the machines that use this technology and were really amazed. As social entrepreneurs, we decided to make these unique Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs) in India, so we could provide clean and healthy drinking water to people who needed it the most…Today we are proud to say that we have the largest range of AWGs — producing from 120 litres to 5000 litres per day. We also export these WaterMakers (AWGs) to many other countries,” says Meher.
Meher and her team took part in an exhibition in Delhi, where they showcased one AWG machine just to see how people would react to it. “The people were completely amazed. They could actually see drops of water forming from thin air. People were literally walking around the machine and looking under it to see if there were any hidden pipes.”
It was then, in 2004, that they decided to manufacture the machines in India itself so as to have control over the quality and delivery of the machines.
An Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG)
WaterMaker India is the sole and exclusive licensee for US-based Atmospheric Water Technology Inc./Air Water Corporation. WaterMaker thus has the authority to market, sell, manufacture and distribute air to water machines in India and several parts of the world, including Africa, the Middle East, Far East and South Asia.
How does it work?
So how does air lead to the production of water? The machines work basically on the simple refrigeration technique of condensing the humidity in the atmosphere and collecting the resultant water. After the condensation process, the water is passed through various filters to purify it, resulting in clean drinking water.
“Our technology is most effective in areas where the temperature is between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius, with relative humidity conditions over 65-75% or more. Producing water directly from air, WaterMakers need no water source. Using electricity or any alternate energy source, we use techniques optimized to condense water from air. Water quality complies with WHO/BIS standards and the water contains no harmful chemicals, bacteria, pesticides, or minerals,” explains Meher.
Inside villages in India
AWG installed in Gandhigram
WaterMaker India is a for-profit company, which aims to give back to society through its CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiative. With the help of this amazing technology, the company has made Jalimudi in Andhra Pradesh the first village to have drinking water supplied from air. Like many other parts of rural India, this village too was facing several issues like lack of pure drinking water, ground water being contaminated, and villagers walking long distances to collect water.
“Our very first project was our own CSR project at Jalimudi village in Andhra Pradesh, where we set up an Air Water Station in 2009 to provide safe drinking water to over 600 villagers. We have just installed another Air Water Station at Gandhigram in Gujarat for the local water authorities. The first one was already installed for the villagers in April, 2015, and consisted of two 1000 litre WaterMakers, which generate 2000 litres of fresh drinking water per day, and three storage tanks. An insurance company has also set up WaterMaker drinking water stations at night libraries for students in Mumbai and more projects are in the planning stages.”
We are not a completely green technology yet because we need power to run the machines. We hope to change this in the future with solar, wind, and alternate power sources. Can you imagine if we have alternate power giving alternate water, what a great thing that would be? That is my ambition right now,” says an excited Meher. She also plans on expanding the reach of WaterMaker by working with more government initiatives and NGOs, so as to impact as many people as possible.
The Impact
Happy residents of Gandhigram
“When we set up our very first Air Water Station at Jalimudi village in 2009, the villagers were thrilled to see water being produced from air, drop by drop. I was extremely touched when a very old lady came up to me and blessed me, saying ‘you have given us Khuda ka pani!’ She had tears in her eyes and so did I. The women and young girls who had to walk almost 3 kms every day to collect water couldn’t thank me enough for this ‘magical water,’ which would save them precious time for more productive activities. I will never forget the look in their eyes and am determined to set up many more WaterMakers wherever I can. Though we are a for profit organization, I also firmly believe in giving back – drop by drop!” concludes Meher.
