    Image credit:Pixabay.com, free images

    Now that I came to know that most service crews, and other employees receive very low salaries, I appreciate them and their efforts just to earn a living.

    It was so […]

    • Work is worship and worship is God. So anyone who puts effort to earn a living and takes what is due to him or her after a hard days work is to be respected. More so people like those who are just a small part of a very large work force in many countries. I find it sad that their lives or work seldom gets respected. Which is not correct. I do not know what the individuals who possess wealth tend to think so. They act as if they have landed from mars and others who work are all good for nothing.

      This concept called the dignity of labour has to be respected in all countries. Children have to be taught the same too as I find them putting down these workers or speaking about them in a degrading way. This attitude has to be changed during the childhood itself or it would be a problem for them and others whom they would be working with. They learn this from the elders and the elders should be behaving responsibly in the first place.

      • Very well said, Krishna Kumar. You are right, we have to respect them who labour so much to earn a little money and they do the lives of the moneyed ones easier too by offering their services.

        They should be regarded as very important people too because without them, nobody will do the hard work, the manual labor which the rich abhor.

    • I am one of those people who really have a soft heart for these workers especially the old women peddling vegetables on the side of the walkway of the market.

      I can see my sisters and mother in them. That’s why too I don’t haggle with their prices anymore. I take it as it is. It’s my help for them at least.

      Even those service crews, I see to it that I talk kindly to them. When I want something, i really say please then thank you.

      At least that way, they will feel dignity in working.

      Some of the service crews are working students. They work while they study. It’s heartwarming that they finance themselves through college by being service crew of restaurants.

      So, everytime we go to restaurants or fastfood chains we should also say please, thank you and smile at them.

    • Dignity for labor is a good concept. But, it does not mean that the children are targeted for it. The children are supposed to enjoy their childhood and the grown ups are suppose to earn for his family if it warrants so. Their primary concern should be for education only. But, this situation is not prevailing anywhere means there is something wrong went wrong with the policy makers and Administrators and this is continuing without any interruption. We all show sympathy but when it comes to practice we stand somewhere in the corner and watch the situation. Of course, this is changing slowly as there are many N.G.Os which are taking up such situations seriously and working to improve the situation. Even in India also, this is picking up pace. This is enough if we support them of course, with a little bit of caution which should always be there as showing sympathy nowadays has become a SIN.

    It was in the television news last night about a girl (or a lady) who died after undergoing beauty enhancement.

    It was liposuction which involved the […]

    • the lady is too vain.. she has undergone 3 surgeries before that another 3 which caused her death. I feel sorry for her kids, they are too young to lose their mom and the lady is too young to die.

      • Yes, it could be due to vanity. She’s already beautiful, I don’t know why she still wants to look more beautiful! She’s only 29 years old.

    • Beauty lies in our eyes. What is beautiful for one is not so for others. I read about an African lady weighing — more than 500 kg or so — being given treatment in Mumbai , India. Such treatments involve quite an amount of risk and must be resorted to only when it is essentially needed.

      Supposing one weighs 150 Kg plus then also — it is better to reduce food in take and take other form of exercises and not resort to operation like this. May her soul rest in peace

      • Thanks for your reply. Yes, such medical procedure to lessen one’s weight can be done if the person is too much overweight like the lady you mentioned who weighed 500 kg.

        If not, diet and exercise are the best things to do rather than putting life in danger.

    • The news is really a sad one. So young and so pretty. She may have reasons for seeking these enhancement procedures. We will surely never know her reasons for she is not around anymore to answer the question.

      But as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Another thing, inner beauty is much better than the outer beauty.

      But we cannot blame people if they choose this kind of enhancement procedures, like people in the movie industry. They have to invest on their physical appearance, otherwise, they may not have any more projects to do. Even veteran actors and actresses, no matter how good they are, they are requested to do some ‘beautification’ if they want to have projects.

      Whether or not you need these enhancements, check first if your body can endure the procedure you will have to undergo or seek 2nd opinion or ask around for any side effects of the procedure.

    • I was so shocked when I first heard the news on the early morning show news. I really got so interested that when I arrived in the office early, I read the news online.

      Yes, she was so beautiful. In fact, I keep thinking if her nose was also enhanced because it was a very well chiseled nose, that I envied her. he he he

      Anyway, my officemate said that in the news it was said that she’s a single mother. So they said at the office that maybe she needs to beautify herself to catch a rich and handsome father to her child.

      That’s how it is when you have lots of money to spend. She’s a successful businesswoman.

      It is not bad to have an enhancement. I would certainly would like one , to remove my eyebag and flatten my stomach. But I don’t like them to be done through the knife, but rather through laser which is safer. I think they can be done through laser.

      But you are right, natural is beautiful , though if the enhancement will not require surgery then it’s okay.

    • That is true she is so beautiful business lady, actually she was a regular customer to that beauty clinic. That time it was her boobs and butt to be improved, yet the doctors failed to analyze that their patient was asthmatic. That was the reason why along the way of enhancing her, her heart stopped breathing.

      That hospital was on suspension order by the Supreme Court.The doctors are in jail there are two of them all Chinese doctors relatives of the owners. They were not the usual doctors that enhanced her. May she rest i peace.

    • Beauty lies in eyes or somewhere it a different matter.
      It really sucks to here that the young kids lost their young mom.she, in all her eagerness to enhance her beauty met a tragic end.
      The liposuction is taken up unless the doctor makes basic tests. He can not recommend this test for each and everyone. He takes all precaution how much fat one has got in the body and how much is safe to remove. These are the basic things. This is actually a safe method to enhance beauty as the patient will not have to stay in the Hospital after Liposuction. But, it is made a complicated one by the Doctors who fail to take into account the basic precautions meant for the surgery.
      This surgery is preferred by men also sometimes.
      In the year 2013, a person in Hyderabad preferred to reduce his belly fat and preferred this surgery. Everything was done and he returned to his house. But, all of a sudden he developed some complications and was again taken to Hospital and he could not be saved.
      Ladies on account of the nature of their profession prefer to have this surgery for certain profession it is not the inner beauty that is preferred but the personal appearance. The personal appearance without any elementary knowledge, mannerisms, gestures, education etc., will have an edge over inner beauty in certain profession.

    • Death is indeed very cruel but we sometimes bring upon ourselves with the things that we do. I feel sorry for the lady who lost her life doing a procedure that did not go well with her may her soul rest in peace. Sometimes I ask myself is it really worth the pain and time to go through this things? Yes I know we all want to look pretty and up to date in the society but some of the things we have to go through to get nice looking bodies is very disturbing.why can’t women just accept themselves the way they are and avoid so many problems surely. This surgeries that are done in our bodies only bring lots and lots of pain. Yes you will achieve the look that you want but how about the consequences later do you ever think about that? I guess not. You can still get the results you want if you only eat right and exercise more often that way you won’t have to worry much about how you look because you will be looking good. Food make a you look good if you eat it in the right way and the right quantity. Stay healthy and well.

    • Thanks for sharing the colorful “gems”of Hinduism. I am naive on this religion; just a little knowledge about it from our lessons in Asian civilization. I admire the way people in your country or those in other countries in observing Hinduism. It looks like they have a deep sense of religiosity when you see them praying in temples, or in their places of worship.

      • Appreciate you liking the article and the information it tried to convey. To be fair even I am as naive as you. This rush for getting a job, earning a livelihood coupled with other issues have not allowed me to express myself on this religious aspect of Hinduism. Now as I am writing articles I am also trying to dig in the details which even I would like to know and share with readers who are interested in knowing more about this religion and the society and how things are as of date.

        Just to share a information with you. If one has to learn Vedas in a Vedic school which will be in sanskrit language it will take around eight to 12 years approximately depending on the individuals IQ for each Veda to be studied. So multiply it by four it takes one life time to learn and imbibe what is learnt. What I know is not even a small drop of water in the ocean. People here in our country and even in other countries where they are settled and working are very religious minded. Thanks for the feedback.
