Did you make the right decision? --

Which One Will You Choose?


We appreciate those who answered us on below email (Question appearing below for your quick review).

Question:
A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange. You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.
Analyze the situation... and give us the answer.
Option Number 1 =   Save One kid OR
Option Number 2 = Save Group of Kids



Most people choose or chosen to divert the course of the train and sacrifice only one child.
To save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally.

But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?




Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was.




This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are.

The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him. Just replace that One Child with your Loved one (family member or anyone you love most). Definitely you will choose to save your loved one!

To make the proper decision is not try to change the course of the train because the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.

If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe.




If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.




While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

"Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right."



Leaders are the ones who say no to following the crowd and because of that they become worthy of being followed by the crowd.

They are the ones who have created…


Everybody makes mistakes; that's why they put erasers on pencils.





Awaken Yourself to the Power of your Own Mind to make things Happen!!

We do not become Humans just by thinking, reasoning, feeling, choosing or even by just doing something, We Become Humans….by
"Being something for Humanity"..!!!



Keep learning and sharing your thoughts.

Which One Will You Choose? 


The story given here is quite interesting and really gives us an insight into DECISION MAKING.

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused.



Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.





The train came, and you were just beside the track interchange.

You could make the train change its course to the disused track and saved most of the kids.




Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make...


...

...


Analyze the situation... and give us the answer.

Option Number 1 =   Save One kid             OR

Option Number 2 = Save Group of Kids



Think and reflect...




Make your Decision and answer us back. We will talk on this in brief on coming days.

Until then, decided your ANSWER and let us know!!






Good Luck!

टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयतायें (लायबिलिटीज़) सार्वजनिक करने से सख़्त
परहेज करते यूपी के सीएम और मंत्री : आरटीआई से खुलासा l

लखनऊ. उर्वशी शर्मा. ३१ मई २०१५. ©UPCPRI


वर्तमान में उत्तर प्रदेश की अखिलेश यादव सरकार के कई मंत्रियों की
संपत्ति में तेजी से हो रही बृद्धि की खबरें प्रिंट, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक और
सोशल मीडिया पर सुर्खियों में रही हैं ऐसे में सूबे की राजधानी लखनऊ
निवासी और देश के चर्चित मानवाधिकार कार्यकर्ता ई० संजय शर्मा की एक
आरटीआई पर उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार द्वारा दिए एक जबाब से यह खुलासा होना कि
यूपी के सीएम और उनकी मंत्रिपरिषद के सदस्यों द्वारा वर्ष 2011 से अब तक
सार्वजनिक कीं गयीं परिसंपत्तियों ( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयताओं
(लायबिलिटीज़) के विवरण प्रदेश की सरकार के पास नहीं हैं, एक महत्वपूर्ण
खुलासा है जो कानून बनाने बालों के द्वारा ही कानून को तोड़े जाने का
जीवंत उदहारण तो है ही, यह इन माननीयों के दोहरे चरित्र को भी उजागर कर
रहा है।

पारदर्शिता, जबाबदेही और मानवाधिकार-संरक्षण के क्षेत्र में कार्यरत
सामाजिक संगठन 'तहरीर' के संस्थापक अध्यक्ष संजय कहते हैं "वैसे तो
सरकारों के लिए उच्च पदों पर भ्रष्टाचार देश की आम जनता के जीवन को
सीधे-सीधे प्रभावित करने बाले समकालीन मुद्दों में सर्वाधिक बड़ा मुद्दा
है. सरकारें ऐसा भी मानती है कि यदि देश के उच्च पदों पर आसीन लोकसेवक
अपनी परिसंपत्तियों को सार्वजनिक करने लगें तो भ्रष्टाचार पर काफ़ी हद तक
लगाम लगाई जा सकती है. पूरे देश की जनता भी ऐसा ही मानती है जिसकी बानगी
पूरे देश ने अन्ना आंदोलन के दौरान देखी जिसकी परिणति के रूप में देश को
लोकपाल क़ानून भी मिला जिसमें लोकसेवकों और उनके परिवार के सभी सदस्यों
की परिसंपत्तियाँ सार्वजनिक करना अनिवार्य कर दिया गया पर जब
परिसंपत्तियाँ सार्वजनिक करने पर अमल करने की बात आती है तो सर्वाधिक
उच्च पदों पर आसीन लोग ही दोगला व्यवहार कर अपना मुँह छुपाते नज़र आते
है."

बताते चलें कि कुछ ऐसा ही खुलासा संजय द्वारा उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्य
सचिव कार्यालय में दायर एक आरटीआई पर उत्तर प्रदेश के गोपन विभाग के
जनसूचना अधिकारी द्वारा १४ मई २०१५ को भेजे जबाब से हुआ है . दरअसल संजय
ने बीते साल के सितंबर माह में उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्य सचिव कार्यालय में
एक आरटीआई दायर करके यूपी के मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों की
वित्तीय वर्ष २०१०-११,२०११-१२,२०१२-१३,२०१३-१४ एवं २०१४-१५ की कुल
परिसंपत्तियों ( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयताओं ( लायबिलिटीज़ ) तथा
ये विवरण न देने पर दंडित किए गये मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों
की भी सूचना माँगी थी.

मुख्य सचिव कार्यालय ने संजय का आरटीआई आवेदन उत्तर प्रदेश के गोपन
विभाग को अंतरित कर दिया था. राज्य सूचना आयोग के हस्तक्षेप के बाद गोपन
विभाग के विशेष सचिव एवं जनसूचना अधिकारी कृष्ण गोपाल द्वारा संजय को
भेजे पत्र से ये चौंकाने बाला खुलासा हुआ है कि यूपी के मुख्यमंत्री और
मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों की कुल परिसंपत्तियों ( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और
देयताओं ( लायबिलिटीज़ ) तथा ये विवरण न देने पर दंडित किए गये
मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों की कोई भी सूचना गोपन विभाग में
धारित नहीं है.

गोपन विभाग के जनसूचना अधिकारी ने ये भी अभिलिखित किया है कि उनको यह भी
नहीं पता है कि मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों की कुल परिसंपत्तियों
( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयताओं ( लायबिलिटीज़ ) की ये सूचना उत्तर
प्रदेश के किस विभाग द्वारा धारित है और संजय का आरटीआई आवेदन और पोस्टल
आर्डर संजय को बापस कर दिया है.

संजय कहते हैं कि सूबे के मुख्य सचिव के कार्यालय,गोपन विभाग और राज्य
सूचना आयोग के हस्तक्षेप के बाद भी मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों
की कुल परिसंपत्तियों ( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयताओं ( लायबिलिटीज़ )
की सूचना मिलने के स्थान पर आरटीआई आवेदन बापस मिलने से ये तो स्पष्ट है
कि उत्तर प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्य अपनी कुल
परिसंपत्तियों ( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयताओं ( लायबिलिटीज़ ) की
सूचना उत्तर प्रदेश सरकार को देते ही नहीं है। इस स्थिति को
दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण करार देते हुए पारदर्शिता की सेना के इस सेनापति ने
अपनी आरटीआई से हुए खुलासे को उच्च पदों पर आसीन और माननीय कहे जाने
बाले लोकसेवकों के दोगले चेहरे उजागर करने बाला बताया है.

उत्तर प्रदेश सहित भारत में ज्यादातर राज्य अपने सीएम और मंत्रियों की
संपत्ति सार्वजनिक करने में असमर्थ रहे हैं है। उत्तर प्रदेश के सबसे कम
उम्र के मुख्यमंत्री के रूप में कार्यभार संभालने के बाद अखिलेश यादव ने
प्रशासन में पारदर्शिता की वकालत करते हुए मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रियों की
निजी संपत्ति को सार्वजनिक करने की बात कही थी , लेकिन संजय की इस
आरटीआई से पता चला है मोटे तौर पर वह इसमें पूर्णतः विफल रहे हैं।
लोकजीवन में जबाबदेही की वकालत करने बाले सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता संजय का
मानना है कि इस खुलासे से यूपी उच्च स्थानों पर पारदर्शिता और जवाबदेही
स्थापित करने की मुहीम के सफल होने की उनकी आशाओं को एक बड़ा झटका लगा है


गौरतलब है कि उत्तर प्रदेश मंत्रियों और विधायकों (आस्तियों और देयताओं
का प्रकाशन) अधिनियम (1975) राज्य विधानसभा के हर सदस्य के लिए प्रत्येक
और नए वित्तीय वर्ष के पहले 20 दिनों के भीतर अपनी संपत्ति और देनदारियों
का विवरण प्रस्तुत करना अनिवार्य बनाता है तथा लोक प्रतिनिधि अधिनियम
1951 के तहत आचार संहिता के अनुसार भी प्रत्येक विधायक को हर साल नियमित
रूप से उनके और उनके परिवार के सदस्यों की संपत्ति और देनदारियों की
घोषणा करके समाज के समक्ष एक उदाहरण स्थापित करने की उम्मीद की जाती है


संजय कहते हैं कि इन नियमों के पिछले 40 वर्षों से अस्तित्व में होने के
बावजूद हमारे नेताओं द्वारा इनको गंभीरता से नहीं लिया गया है और उनकी
इस आरटीआई के जवाब से पता चलता है कि यूपी में तो क़ानून बनाने बाले ही
दिनदहाड़े खुलेआम निर्दयता से अपने निजी स्वार्थ साधने के लिए खुद के
बनाए क़ानून तोड़ रहे हैं।

आरटीआई खुलासे से क्षुब्ध इस सामाजिक कार्यकर्ता का कहना है कि क्योंकि
यह सूचना मायावती और अखिलेश यादव के मुख्यमंत्रित्व काल की हैं अतः यह
भी स्पष्ट है कि मायावती के पदच्युत होने और अखिलेश के पदारूढ़ होने से
केवल सत्ता के चेहरे मात्र ही बदले और इन कथित रूप से माननीय कहे जाने
बाले जन-प्रतिनिधियों द्वारा अपनी संपत्तियां छुपाने की पुरानी और ओछी
मानसिकता जस की तस बरकरार रही है.

असीम त्रिवेदी के कार्टून 'गैंग रेप ऑफ मदर इंडिया' का ज़िक्र करने हुए
संजय ने ©UPCPRI को बताया कि इस कार्टून को देखकर उनको लगा कि असीम
त्रिवेदी की सोच वास्तव में सही है और कहा कि यदि सही से जाँच की जाए
तो कार्टून में दिखाए राजनेताओं में से काफ़ी उनकी यूपी के भी मिल
जाएँगे. संजय का मानना है कि इन उच्च पदस्थ माननीयों के पारदर्शी हुए
बिना भ्रष्टाचार मुक्त तंत्र की स्थापना संभव नहीं है और इसीलिये वे
सामाजिक संगठन 'तहरीर' के संस्थापक अध्यक्ष की हैसियत से यूपी के
राज्यपाल को ज्ञापन देकर सूबे के मुख्यमंत्री और मंत्रिमंडल सदस्यों को
उनकी कुल परिसंपत्तियों ( टोटल वेल्थ, एसेट्स ) और देयताओं (
लायबिलिटीज़ ) की सूचना प्रत्येक वर्ष नियमित रूप से सार्वजनिक करने के
निर्देश जारी करने की अपील करने जा रहे हैं.

At a time when the news of rapid growth of assets of a no. of
ministers of Akhilesh Yadav led Samajwadi Government are touching
headlines on front pages of newspapers, getting breaking news space on
electronic media and are the most shared and commented features on
social media, A reply on a RTI plea of Lucknow based noted Human
Rights' activist & Engineer Sanjay Sharma has grilled UP CMs & their
council of ministers over their tall claims on practicing transparency
in public life by themselves as none of the Ministers of present and
the predecessor Govts. including CMs have shared information with UP
Government about their assets and liabilities, as mandated under
rules.

Sanjay is founder and president of a grassroot level social
organization named TAHRIR which works in the fields of Transparency &
accountability in public life and protection of human rights. He has
sought information about assets and liabilities declared by the
Cabinet as well as the Chief Ministers of State to which UP Govt. has
replied that the data is not available. Sanjay sought the info
04-09-2014 from PIO of office of Chief Secretary of UP. Subsequently
this RTI got transferred to confidential deptt. of UP Govt.

In an obvious snub to earlier boastings of Akhilesh Yadav on
transparency claims made on disclosures of assets & liabilities of CM
and council of Ministers of UP, the Uttar Pradesh Government has
returned this RTI application back to Sanjay saying the information
was not with them.. This is noteworthy that by this RTI plea Sanjay
has sought details about earlier CM Mayawati, present CM Akhilesh
Yadav and their ministers' assets concerning financial years
2011-12,2012-13,2013-14 & 2014-15.

In reply to the query, UP government's special secretary & public
information officer of confidential department Krishna Gopal said that
neither the information sought was with confidential department nor
did he know as to who might be holding the information sought by
Sanjay and citing this he returned the RTI plea & 10/- RTI fee back
to Sanjay.

"Most states in India including Uttar Pradesh have been unable to make
ministers' assets public. Soon after taking charge as youngest CM of
UP, Akhilesh Yadav has asserted that transparency will be pursued in
issues of governance and CM,ministers' personal assets but he failed
grossly as this RTI has revealed and its a severe blow to the youngest
CM's claims on transparency and accountability at high places" Sanjay
said.

Sanjay told ©UPCPRI "We at 'TAHRIR' believe that transparency and
accountability are the two cornerstones of any pro-people government.
Transparency and accountability not only connect the people closer to
the government but also make them equal and integral part of the
decision making process.But, Alas………………………!"

The Uttar Pradesh Ministers and Legislators (Publication of Assets &
Liabilities) Act (1975) makes it mandatory for each and every member
of the state assembly to submit details or their assets and
liabilities within the first 20 days of the new financial year. The
code of conduct under the Public Representative Act 1951 of the
Constitution of India, CM and his council of ministers are expected to
set an example for other MLAs by declaring their and their family
members' assets and liabilities regularly every year.While these rules
existed and despite the law being in force for the last 40 years,
these were never taken seriously by our leaders, reveals this RTI
reply.

This is akin to Cocking a snook at the government orders as none of
CMs and their council of Ministers have disclosed their assets and
liabilities. Even Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who had declared his
assets after coming to power in 2012 has also failed to comply with
the government orders in subsequeny years though in 2012 he was the
first to put up his assets on the government website, claiming that it
was the first step towards transparency in governance but even this
move of Akhilesh Yadav failed to set the tone for his cabinet
colleagues to come out and declare their net worth and later Akhilesh
too boarded the non-transparency ship and avoided such declarations in
later years.
"We are of the opinion that this RTI reply also reveals that from Maya
to Akhilesh, only heads changed n not the mentality & mindset of
governance so far as the positive changes in transparency in
governance are concerned" said Sanjay.
Citing Aseem Trivedi's cartoon 'Gang Rape of Mother India', Sanjay
asserted that he found this cartoon very realistic. He added that he
was thinking if UP's CMs & their council of Ministers are also some
of the politicians getting Mother India gang raped by the
corruption-demon.

This social activist told ©UPCPRI that Soon a delegation of 'TAHRIR'
shall meet UP Governor Ram Naik & CM Akhilesh Yadav to press their
demands of making sure that from now onwards CM, Ministers, MLAs &
MLCs of UP should file their wealth returns with UP Govt. as mandated
under The Uttar Pradesh Ministers and Legislators (Publication of
Assets & Liabilities) Act (1975)"

RTI reveals doublespeak of UP CM Akhilesh Yadav on disclosure of assets by MLAs.

{Awareness} Story: The Man At The Mexican Beach

 





A man was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along he began to see another man in the distance.

As he grew nearer he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up, and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean.


As our friend approached even closer he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had washed up onto the beach, and one at a time, he was throwing them back into the ocean.

The first man was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good Evening Friend, I was wondering what are you doing?" And he replied, "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they will die from the lack of oxygen."

"I understand," my friend replied "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach and you couldn't possibly get to all of them. There are simply too many and don't you realize that this is happening on hundreds of beaches up and down this coast ... can't you see that that you can't possibly make a difference?


The local native smiled, bent down, picked up yet another starfish ... and as he threw it back out into the sea, he replied, "It made a difference to that one!"


You may feel like you cannot make a difference in the world today, but you CAN make a difference in one life at a time, and that, my friend, is a BIG thing. To resolve the issues of someone, to help someone in trouble, to feed a poor family, all these are GREAT things to do even if done for one person or family.

Never underestimate your own efforts. You too could make a difference. Don't ask what the world could do for you, seek what you could do to the world
