Genesis of "Parivartanam"

'Parivartanam’ is a Sanskrit word meaning transformation; a change.

What is the need for a change and what does it lead to. These are two basic questions that emerge from everyone’s mind. Well, it’s our responsibly to ensure each and every one of you to understand the motto of the ‘Parivartanam Movement’.

Firstly, let us put some questions for ourselves. How many people in our country live a better and have a quality life, a life without poverty, good health, without corruption, a good and friendly environment, and free from illiteracy.
Secondly, are we going to handover this nation to the future generation with the same sort of life? Is it not our responsibility to give ourselves and them a quality life? If not this, are we doing enough for this nation, where we have resided for years exploring and exploiting the maximum natural resources?

‘Parivartanam’ is at the preliminary stage of progress with few members at this point in time. We are here to focus on certain changes at the current level and a complete need of ‘Transformation’ for our future generation. The Movement will categorically focus on development of individual life at the Panchayat, Society, and State and at the National level.

‘Parivartanam’ is a people driven organization involved at enlightening facts and a helping hand at duties of a common society. We shall fight for the common rights of an individual and also ensure to make the individual address his fundamental duties towards the nation. We understand that it’s easier said than done, but patience bears its own fruits. Our people will have a common motto of “Transformation, Patiently”.

Putting it more concretely and simplistically, we can make it possible, when more people join us as a part of this movement.

We don’t see any importance of celebrating our independence day unless we see the improvement in the quality of life in each individual among all class of people.

‘Parivartanam’ very soon will make its presence all over the nation to achieve its ‘Mission’ with help of all your support.

DEMOCRACY MUST MEAN CHANGE!!!

It is said by Lincoln that democracy is the Govt of the people, by the people and for the people.. But increasingly my faith on these words are diminishing.. It could be said that democracy must be restated in our country..

Just a few days earlier we all remember having lost Mr.Mahajan in an eerie incident.. With due respects to the young politician I have a small rebuke against the party and the state Govt which did all it could to save the young man..

Its in the right of every individual to get the best of facilities when faced with near death experiences.. But its not right, if the differences exist in rules for a well known politician and a common man..

I have this friend of mine who has been trying to get her kidney's transplanted for well over two years now.. Its been under the jurisdiction of the Maharashtra Govt. that a transplant needs a state level grant and permission.. This individual has applied for the same over the last 2 years.. but in mere vain.. responses have been slow and too procedural..

This is where the difference is.. If it is a well known face.. and money is laundered.. rules dont apply.. but if its a common person like us.. we chew sour grapes..

I simply fail to understand the simple fact.. and that is.. why should there be so many rules when it comes to saving an individuals life at a big institution?? Why are we so obssessed by a system that has so many flaws??

She has now applied for the same at another state where she faces a nexus of sorts.. people right from Govt officials, hospital authorities to the auto driver being involved.. Its a nexus in terms of the fees and staying expenses.. I confronted this house broker near the hospital who was charging a whopping 17000 bucks per month for a 3 room house in chennai..and moreover another house he showed us was at 25000..If thats not all.. there are separate charges for gas.. for utensils.. for etc etc.. Indeed I am happy that I was present to get my friend from being exploited.. this is happening to individuals everywhere and from places like Srilanka and Pakistan..This is a classic example of system failure in our country..

I think we are in a world which lives to accept fate as it is..I woke up a long time back.. I am vying for a change.. A change where we do not get controlled by such inhumane individuals.. a change where laws need to be reframed..

Its our time and I am on a path towards better life.. Soon we will have my organisation.. and its named PARIVARTANAM.. We have registered it for a website.. Please feel free to join US..
