Putting the right foot forward

The last post was an expression of my angst and fury. And this one is an expression of the fact that I still believe in humanity(male and female). Each time we put the right foot ahead of the left and form a step, we are actually taking a decision to move ahead, to cross barriers and borders, to take a plunge into the unknown, to discover and to live whatever comes in our way. Each morning before the tiny step we are renewing our ethereal faith, we are renewing our trusts in people and in God.
A few days back these images were mailed to me by Suraj. It is a chain mail and many of you would have already seen them. But I will still go ahead and use this platform to share these lovely images and message that each of them carry.
They renewed my faith and made me see beyond myself. Hope they light a spark in your lives too. For the ease of reading I am retyping the message below each image.

Stand up against racial discrimination. Stop Racism

Get out of a destructive relationship when there is still time


Children learn fast. DOn't fight at home

Do not neglect the Girl Child



Adopt!! You never know who you will bring home.


Think before wasting food.

Protect your child. Abusers are usually people your child trusts!



Is this what your child surfs on the World Wide Web??




Drive safe! Better late than never!

Everytime I look at these I salute the creativity of our artists and designers!

Yes the message is something that we need to take the ownership and spread around.

Glad to learn that you have shaken off your blues. It happens to all of us. We stumble, we fall; with the help of some unknown factors, we get up again...

G S Pillai said...

Nona said...

Nice images

Kavita Saharia said...

Nice one ...it breaks my heart when my kids waste food because i know there are millions of kid being deprived of food...i showed it to my daughter and she was shaken.The adoption one is so cute and positive.The child abuser one is a reality we can't ignore and every child must be prepared to recognize this threat.The drawing clearly shows that how a child's innocent mind catches everything we throw at them by our language and manners.
One of the forwards i would love to receive .

Awesome images!! I haven't seen these images before. I really liked the one on do not neglect the girl child and the one on adoption. It is brilliant images that speak more and in such times, words seem so bulky. Kudos!!

@Butterfly thoughts thanks dear

@Bluebird sunshine it is for the time being..PEACE!! Thanks for all those comments in the last post they brought me out of the shell and helped with the right foot forward..

@Nona thanks

@Kavita I just loved the ones on racial discrimination, the www, the adoption and the abuser, the abuser image speaks in so many ways, the finger, the trust, its so manty leve;s and its very creative without being vulgar!!

@Akshay thanks, yes words seem extrememly bulky when they are faced with images like this
