Dinesh Kamath passes on his thoughts


Former US President John F Kennedy had said, "Ask not what your country has done for you. Ask what you have done for your country." This utterance of Kennedy applies to all the people in the world. I would put that same quote in a simpler form. I would say, "Ask not what your society has done for you. Ask what you have done for your society."
People today judge how successful a person is by looking at how much wealth he has amassed. But I would like to tell such people that there are smugglers and thieves who have amassed a lot of wealth. But what is their contribution to the society? Nil! There are some dishonest politicians in our country who have hardly done anything for their society but yet are wealthy. And there are honest people who have contributed immensely to the society but have hardly got anything in return from the society. Now would you call those smuggler, thieves and corrupt politicians as great success? Would you call an honest person who has contributed in a big way to the society but is poor as an utter failure?
So I would like every person to judge the usefulness and success of a person by looking at how much he or she has contributed to the society and not by counting the money he has received from the society. This is because society has many a times failed to do justice to a person who has done a great service to it. If you judge a person by the money he has amassed then you will be making most of the anti-social elements heroes when actually they are villains. Keep that in mind! Bye!

Dinesh Kamath talks about Indira Thakur and Rucha Kamat, the two journalists who showed him how to start the BLOG



The picture right on top is that of Journalist Dinesh Kamath. In the second photograph, from left to right, are Journalists Indira Thakur and Rucha Kamat. These are two journalists who helped Dinesh Kamath start the BLOG.
I feel extremely grateful to two journalists of Navi Mumbai. They are Indira Thakur and Rucha Kamat. I feel grateful to them because they were the ones who showed me how to start a blog. They gave me a medium to share my thoughts and feelings with my readers. Indira Thakur is my colleague in Newsband newspaper office. She works as a Reporter for Newsband Daily. Rucha Kamat works as a Reporter for City Plus which is a weekly newspaper in Navi Mumbai. Both are quite popular with Navi Mumbai newspaper readers. Before Indira and Rucha showed me how to start the Blog, I didn't know as to what exactly was this Blog. I had heard a lot about Blog. I had read somewhere that great Indian cine-star Amitabh Bachchan writes for his blog. I had heard my friends making mention of a thing called Blog. But it was Indira and Rucha who gave me the exact idea as to what is Blog. They helped me start my own Blog. This Blog gave me the opportunity to share with my readers my most personal thoughts as well as my works which appeared in the weekly newspaper 'In New Bombay' and daily newspaper 'Newsband'. Actually, one fine day, I happened to ask both Indira and and Rucha as to how I could start my own website and they replied, 'Why don't you start your own Blog? A blog is as good as website." Then I asked them, 'Do you know how to start a Blog?" They said, "Yes! It's very simple!" After that they helped me to start my Blog on my computer. It was somewhere in March that I had started my Blog. Since then till now I've been communicating with my readers every now and then through this Blog. I once again thank both Indira and Rucha for introducing me to Blog. Bye!

Dinesh Kamath wishes his readers Happy Friendship Day

I wish all my readers a very happy friendship day. Friendship day is the greatest of all days simply because friendship is the best possession anybody can have. Friendship is more valuable than gold or diamond or even money. Friendship is the true joy of life. There is nothing more enjoyable than spending time with your friend or friends. Friends are very essential. You can't stay alone in this world. You need friends. You need friends to love and be loved and also to combat the enemies. A life lived without friend or friends is worse than death. A genuine friend is he who remains your friend throughout. A friend who leaves you halfway can never be called a genuine friend.
Now I would like to use this opportunity to request those who read my blog to please put your comments on what I write in the space alloted to you below. I will feel greatly obliged if you will kindly do so. I'm just curious to know how the readers of my blog find my writings. Bye!
