'Me the Farmer'

After 3 years of blood-sweat cultivation of my crops I am finally moving to irrigate preexisting fields elsewhere. It will be a challenge for a farmer like me who likes to sow seeds in his own fields, but I am eagerly looking forward to face this challenge.

I believe the crops that I invested in have really given me good returns in terms of generating consumers and buyers. The bull that helped me in harvesting the fields was very supportive. Pesticides, seeds, farm machinery etc were the cores of this fertile field, without which this would not have been possible. I want to thank the bank for its trust shown in me. I could not have done anything without its support and belief. I also want to thank the government for waiving off loans and giving me an opportunity to work on other fields.

It was a learning experience where I learnt how to sow seeds, fertilise fields and harvest crops. Now I have to learn what more I can contribute to preexisting fields. It will again be a learning task for me. I will plough it with my untiring shoulders and will put my very best to it, rest I leave it to the monsoons, climate and the God almighty.

The most dirtiest job on earth – Is there any?

I once read a blog of my friend saying a cab driver who earns Rs 3,000 per month, risks his entire life on roads in the chaos and aggressive traffic is the dirtiest job. Later I read somewhere about men working in neck deep drainage for cleaning out the blockages. I also saw the pictures of those men working, in some newspaper. There are innumerable examples that make you think of the different dirtiest jobs.

One day on my way to office, I saw a man working on the 27th floor of a building & standing outside the floor’s window without any safety equipment on, any wrong move & he would be dead.

Yesterday (March 4), my friend and me talked to our 18 year old cafeteria serving boy who earns Rs 2,200 p.m. He left his studies after class 2 when his father passed away. He sends all his money back home. His story really sensitised us.

I had gone to shimla on 2nd March. When I wake up at 8.30 am and sneaked outside from the sumptuous hotel window, I saw labourers crushing stones, loading bricks and pulling out thick rusty iron rods (sariyas) with their bare hands for the construction of a building, which was adjacent to the hotel. It was a pitiful sight. As I said there is hell lot of examples, which we cannot discuss. As we always get emotional and sensitive by seeing these poor people working hard to earn their living.

I want to ask all of you, do you feel that is there any dirtiest job on earth? Tell me why?
Can’t a driver own a number of cars and run an auto company?
Can’t a servant own a cafeteria one day?

It is we people who differentiates jobs. It is us who are saying what is good or bad. But we have forgotten one thing that to achieve a goal, one has to give his whole life to it by working hard and putting his soul in the job. There are no shortcuts to success.

What shame boss? Tell me what shame?
Somebody who is working with whatsoever job he is doing, he should not regret for it. That is why we say work is worship.

Please motivate these people and encourage them to work hard towards their goals, which can be achieved with strong will power and determination. Help them to get them better jobs. It will be of great help rather than giving alms or showing pity to somebody.
