Making The Invisible, Visible .... Part II

These are the other two, of the three posters, behind the Karol Bagh bus stand, facing the barren land, where sometimes Indian males go for a leak. So, mission accomplished, finally, with all the three socially active posters, sticking on my blog. :)

Making The Invisible, Visible....


This is one of the three posters, behind the Karol Bagh bus stand, facing the barren land, where sometimes Indian males go for a leak. So just thought, to bring the idea forward, here it is finally.

Become A Social Investor At RangDe

"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea."  -Buddha 

A few months back, I deactivated all my social networking accounts. Because for me it was a sheer waste of time. Wasting time, is what no one likes, but because of the infinite loop created, it becomes difficult to come out of it.

Those sites and activities may recreate you or even help you building a social network or circle. Social interactions - Is it all about recreation, chatting, sharing pictures, videos, thoughts and news? If it is so, then where is the real deed? In real sense, are we making any difference, in society? And society should not be according to, where you live, or what you do. This is the era of internet and communication i.e. The World Shrinkers. If the world has shrunk so drastically, that we are calling it a global village, if it is so, then it would be unfair to exclude the poor, and underprivileged.

So to take you out of unfair scenario, there is a site called RangDe which carries the slogan "Knock out the poverty, become a social investor". On the site you can lend money to poor, in the multiples of 100. Micro-loan, is what the concept is termed out to be.

The idea it carries is a good one. Way apart from the typical concept of typical Social Networking Sites.

Repayment Rate 98.9%

Delhi Metro - Bringing Humans Together, In Some Sense.


From poor to rich, from Bihari to Punjabi, Hindu to Muslim, Children To Senior Citizens, Delhi Metro is bringing people of all forms and spectrum together, as one. Like a color wheel, when spun, shows only white. This was not possible in Indian Railways system, because of various coach classes. (A.C. 2 tier, 3 tier, Sleeper, General), drawing a line between the rich and the poor.
