Save our saviours

Yesterday was the world environment day..!! And I forgot..!!!! I wanted to post some ideas..that can ..(well I believe ) bring about a change .. Which though small.. Can help.. A large section of our society..!
Here it goes....

As we all know.. Plastic bags are very harmful to the environment. Jute bags on the other hand are biodegradable, durable and Eco-friendly. So what we can do is.. We can buy jute bags from whole sale markets.. And sell them..! Now it's your choice whether you want to sell those at the cost price.. But if you are travelling a long distance .. Or spending your resources and time.. Then u have a good reason.. To get more money for the bags that you have bought..

Now if you are selling these bags at pop up shops.. Then the next idea might not be so useful. But if you are selling them door to door then.. Here's an idea.. Instead of earning profits.. You can ask them whether they have some used notebooks.Now the used pages of the book can be recycled .. And the blank pages.. Well here comes the next idea..

Spiral binding..!!! You can spiral bind those pages.. And use it as a notebook.. Now you can use it the way you like..!.. But here's another idea.. Why not make such books.. And donate them to poor children..??. You can also go to orphanages..

So.. You can try this out..  Even if you do one of these .. It might help the society..!.. And if you do try it out.. I would love to know.. How did it feel and how did it turn out..!!

Whenever I visit temples... I always wonder what makes these places so powerful and some how magical .. I mean its kinda impossible.. That a mere carved piece of stone has so much power to bless us.. It's foolish.. .. But after observing the places... I came to a conclusion.. Which satisfies all my curiosities regarding these mysterious places..

                Temples

Since our childhood we were asked to pray God.. The eternal one.We did so obediently.why did we do it? At the age of 6 or 7 do we even know the significance of our very own existence?? Then why did pray .. Maybe we wanted to impress our parents or dearly wanted something,which would usually be a toy.Now it has all changed.Today we do know why do we visit temples and why do we pray.things have changed so drastically that today we know that only god can help us when we are in grave problems .. Only he can show us the path when we can't decide... Love us when everybody else despises .. And remains with us when no one else does..

Here the temples play the most important part of all. That place brings together those who have love,peace and faith.This makes the place so special.Some people come there to beg forgiveness,some to beg for help,some to thank and some to enjoy the calm,quiet aura.After visiting the temples all I could conclude was that it isn't that god dwells in those statues,it's the faith of people that makes the place magical.After all, each and every person has to believe in a power that's well beyond his control.This belief makes the place miraculous.

So maybe we just have to believe in god so that he helps us and shows us the right path.Rest is all in our hands..we have to do what we can.But we do know where to go when we are in a huge problem!
A place where people have already been through it or are in now....Temples!
