Sinnovolle Bilder - Dreams and Prayers!

After a long time, I clicked a meaningful picture and post it under a dedicated label - 'Sinnovolle Bilder'. The term 'Sinnovolle Bilder' reminds me of a German guy:)..........LOL!

Tough Get Going!

I thought to post this picture clicked by me with a quote for all my friends and readers in US. A small thought as a part of this post.

If anything came easy, it wouldn't be worth it. So, welcome difficult times, they teach us a lot and ones we are through them, we emerge stronger. Always keep in mind, Beautiful sunset needs Cloudy Skies…

Prayers and Wishes!

Sinnovolle Bilder (Purposeful Pictures) - Being Closer to God

I am a bird lover.

Birds cannot speak like us. They have no means to express hunger. It has been years that I feed birds and it gives me immense peace within myself. Feeding someone who cannot express hunger is being closer to God. 

I always write, when you want to be happy, make others happy. When you want to treat your inner unrest, learn to give peace. Feeding a bird is satisfying a hungry soul and you will feel that divine peace within yourself.

More than 50 pigeons come at my mother’s residence to have their morning feast with us. A click that shows that they just come for ‘food’, they are not my birds but it serves a purpose J

“If you want to see beautiful birds, put out a bird feeder. But don't start thinking that they're your birds. The truth is, if you stop filling the bird feeder, you'll never see them again.”

Sinnovolle Bilder (Purposeful Pictures) - Nature is the Art of God

While driving to Bangalore, we felt blessed as we came across some real beautiful showers of nature. I clicked few of them and one of the best is here on my blog. Nature gives us warmth and a feeling of belongingness. We are cutting trees to make flyovers and sky touching towers. We are helpless but all we can do is follow few simple ways to protect trees and preserve ‘Nature’.

Let us start our weekend with this picture as below:

Happy Weekend!

Cheerio:)

'Sinnovolle Bilder' (Purposeful Images) - Respect Public Property

Can you see a tampered button in this picture?

I saw a tampered elevator button that could affect the accessibility of elevators for old people and those who have medical reasons and are not allowed to climb stairs.

It raised a question in my mind – why do we tamper Public Property. A click to bring it to your notice that we all should ‘Respect Public Property’ as it might not be mandate for you to take an elevator or stairs but it makes a difference for many others.

Sinnovolle Bilder’ (Purposeful Pictures)’ - Go Green!!

I clicked a picture to support the label, ‘Sinnovolle Bilder’ (Purposeful Pictures)’, on my blog.

It is an interesting picture as the mannequins in the mall were purposefully decked like this to support the cause of ‘Go Green’J

Say ‘No’ to ‘Plastic Bags’ and ‘Inorganic Food’. Let us make our planet the best place to live!!

Good Night!!

Launch of ‘SINNOVOLLE BILDER’ - A New Label!!

In continuation to my previous post - http://doyouthinkyouareliving.blogspot.in/2012/04/sinnovolle-bilder-new-label.html

Firstly, thanks to the German guy, who gave me the name for my label. I appreciate meeting himJ

My first purposeful image for this label is to convey the message around ‘Child Labour’.

STOP CHILD LABOUR - Do Not HIRE Them But EDUCATE Them! Stop Child Labour and Join Hands to Educate Each Child.

You can view the Sinnovolle Bilder (Purposeful Images) at the Picasa Link below as well.

The child in this picture stays in my society and it was very hard to get this clicked. I took three consecutive meetings to click him to avoid any doubts around the purpose. I asked him to pose for me, as I feel to take a picture of him.

My readers might think why I did not raise an alarm in my society to hire a child for work in a departmental store adjacent to the building?

My answer is ‘I DID’.

I went to the owners and explained them with a printout of ‘Child Labour Act in India’ and emphasised that it is ‘illegal’ to hire children as labour. I convinced them emotionally by describing how hiring children could affect their future in the long run. But nothing worked out. They proved that he is above the age mentioned as per the ACT and so he can work as per his wish. In simple words, I failed.

To know more about Child Labour Act in India, please click the link below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labour_in_India

I was very restless and was constantly thinking to voice out such instances. I closed my eyes and the only answer was to blog as this is not only one case. I might save the future of this child but what about many others. Many times, I see my friends who hire young girls under the age of 14 as baby sitters. Such cases need to be attended also. All I can do is to start a label to voice out objectionable instances. I believe – ‘a pen or a key of a keyboard is mightier than the sword’. I hope after reading this, when you hire a baby sitter or a child as labour, you will surely think once.

PS: Right side is the slide deck for purposeful images that will be updated on the blog with more images with a purpose soon. So, please cooperate!!

Haben Sie ein gutes Wochenende (Have a good weekend)J

‘Sinnovolle Bilder’ - A New Label

I am offered a jobJ. Life has its own ways to surprise us. Anyways, I am happy but still thinking but I might take it up as it will keep me much busier.

I had some spare time in last two days that really gave me an idea to add a new label to my blog ‘Sinnovolle Bilder’. This is a German translation for ‘Meaningful Pictures’. Now why German?

I met a very interesting German guy (CEO of a health club) in Bangalore and somehow his personality and communication skills really impressed me. I came to Hyderabad and started looking for more information about Germany and German culture. Whenever, I meet someone from different part of the globe, I sit in front of my laptop and search to know about their culture if talking to them impressed me, in good ways. This way, I have learned couple of words of different languagesJ

What is ‘Sinnovolle Bilder’ (Meaningful/Purposeful Pictures)?

Well, living is incomplete if we do not talk or share about things that strike us in some or the other ways. There are moments where a view of nature interests us so much that we click it to keep it as a memory. There are instances where we see something highly objectionable and we click it to spread a message. Either soothing to eyes or objectionable to eyes, every picture we click has a meaning or purpose behind it. This is the purpose of this label. I will, indeed have clicked some pictures that have a meaningful message. I have watermarked them with information to spread a message through this label on my blog. This label supports the purpose and meaning of the concept – ‘So You Think You Are Living’!!

Before I launch, I thought to define the usage of this label. And yes I am working on something new for me - you will see an animated slideshow on the right side of the blog window once this label is launched where all the meaningful pictures would be displayed as an animated slide deck. I need two days to execute this until then I need good luck guys!

Gute Nacht (Good Night in German):))
