"JAI MATA DI"
SHUBH NAVRATRI "Maa ki jyoti se noor milta hai, sabke dilo ko shurur milta hai, jo bhi jatahai MAA ke dwar , kuch na kuch jarur milta hai. " SHUBH NAVRATRI
NAVRATRI - NINE NIGHTS OF DURGA
'Nav' means 'nine' and 'ratri' means 'night', thus, 'Navratri' means 'nine nights'. There are many legends attached to the conception of Navratri like all Indian festivals but all of them are related to Goddess Shakti (Hindu Mother Goddess) and her various forms.
Though it is one of the most celebrated festivals of Hindu calendar, it holds special significance for Gujratis and Bengalis and one can see it in the zeal and fervor of the people with which they indulge in the festive activities of the season.
The first three days of Navratri are dedicated to Goddess Durga (Warrior Goddess) dressed in red and mounted on a lion, next three to Goddess Lakshmi (Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity) dressed in gold and mounted on an owl and finally, last three to Goddess Saraswati (Goddess Of Knowledge) dressed in milky white and mounted on a pure white swan.
Dandiya and Garba Rass are the highlights of the festival in Gujarat while farmer sow seeds and thank the Goddess for her blessings and pray for better yield. In olden times, this festival was associated with the fertility of Mother Earth who feed us as her children. Sweetmeats are prepared for the celebrations and children and adults dress up in new bright-colored dresses for the night performances.
With commercialization, the festival has moved on to be a social festival rather than a religious or agrarian festival. In some communities people undergo rigorous fasts during this season that lasts for the nine days of the festival, only to be opened on the tenth day of Dussehra. However, nothing dampens the spirit of the devout followers of Mother Goddess as they sing devotional songs and indulge in the gaieties of the season
Today is first NAVRATRA.
Today is first NAVRATRA. May GOD DURGA give prosperous to you and to yourfamily.May her blessings be always with you."JAI MATA DI"
JAI MAYA DI to all my readers,

Day 3
Hi All,
Greetings of The Day.
ENVIRONRNMENT :
Today lets discuss some tips regarding how to help environment. You need not put any extra effort. Just by remembering some small things, you can play a big role in preserving environment.
Never waste water. Turn off the tap when you are not using water. Use the water once used to wash vegetables or salad to water your houseplants. Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than required. It would help save energy. Turn off electrical and electronic equipments when they are not in use. You could thus save power. Use rechargeable batteries and recycle your paper, glass, plastics and other waste. Set up a system of collecting rainwater and using it later
Use plastic as little as possible. Take pains to carry your own bags to the shops for taking back your shopping. Prefer organically grown fruits, vegetables, cotton clothing, and hemp-fiber products. Avoid supporting the plastic and glass bottles which play a big role in creating mountains of rubbish. Opt for biodegradable cleaning products which have no negative effect. Try to buy energy-efficient household appliances.
Stop using chemical pesticides and use natural products. Use plants that repel insects in place of chemical products. Mix neem oil with garlic oil. Spray it on tree trunks and diseased plants and shrubs. It would destroy bacteria and fungus. Use organic compost to improve soil health. You can make your own compost with grass clippings and vegetable scraps from the house. Avoid using electrical equipment in the garden unnecessarily.
Support tour operators who shape their itinerary with environment in mind. Visit parks and nature reserves. This could lead to protection of additional nature. Don't disturb wild creatures while in the park. Enjoy wildlife but from a distance. Reduce car use and use public mediums of transport. Choose hotels with an effective waste treatment system. Say no to products made of animal hides and body parts.
HOPE .........THAT WE ALL FOLLOW THE ABOVE POINTS DISCUSSED HERE.....AND SAVE OUR PLANET.......SO LETS JOIN HANDS FRIENDS.

SPREAD MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS.........
Entertainment and Happiness knows no boundaries. My mission is to touch the heart and soul of people the world seems to have forgotten, to spread invaluable moments of happiness and make a sustainable impact to brighten up the lives of the senior citizens.

Most memorable day of my life
Every now and then we keep on wondering how can things around be improved and how can i contribute. Well I got one such chance in my life when my friend Hardeep told me that she often visits an orphanage and invited me to come.It was really very difficult for me to cancel my movie plan and go there with her....to meet them....but i can really say that one day changed my entire life.......I learned how to get happiness from the smallest things .There have been lots of touching moments… You see parents whose children have left them to live alone.. by themselves....you to kids whose parents don't wanna own them…and then we have those old people loving us as there own kids… hugging us and kissing us… and those kids care a damn about anything… all they wanna do is live life to the fullest… it has made me realise one thing that wether u’re rich or no… wether you look good or no… wether you go to the most amazin places around or no…does not really matter… what matters is how happy you are…there is so much that day has given me… so many beautiful moments…my bestest frns… n lots more… but i think i should stop before I start sounding too filmy.
And Friends I promised myself that I will be a part of NGO.
EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CHILDHOOD.
LEARNING IS FOREVER...AND FOR ALL.
WE HAVE THE WILL TO MAKE THIS WORLD BETTER FOR OUR CHIDREN.
THERE IS POTENTIAL IN EVERY CHILD.
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
THAT DREAMS CAN COME TRUE.
