I am totally frustrated(I don't want to say the f word) and taken back by the no response, no nonsense act of the bloggers on my post about some humanity initiatives which care for others.
Whats is wrong here? am I in the wrong place to talk about this thing or am I doing something wrong here asking people to join hands to help each other. Are the people here don't want to think about helping others. am I in the Animal planet or alien land to not to talk about caring people.

I thought its a nice idea to raise some funds to help needy people and at the same time have fun in the cricket crazy season. I didn't even get a comment, NADA, zippo, none. Atleast an encouraging word to say " good thinking, nice thought". In tamil, they say "thatti kodu karathuku kuda yarrukum mansu varala"(nobody came forward atleast pat the back and encourage ideas) Aren't we lagging the appreciative mode for this kind of initiatives.. I guess, a big YES for that question right..
I thought may be that is my bad and a big failure. I will take that. Whats wrong with this one ?

I feel its a nice concept to get involved to help people easily thru this media. You guys, tell me what the heck is wrong in this one? I am not asking for money or your property to be donated. I am just asking to help your neighbor or somebody who needs help when you spend time in blogging or reading the blogs in sulekha r other place. We can make a difference as a privileged individual who has internet access and has media to connect people.
I really couldn't understand the vibe of the people who comes to blog or discuss. Whats wrong with these ideas? I really need an answer to make this work for all of us. This includes the Sulekha editors or blog team too. I been watching the featured blogs. The editor is really hearty enough to feature the below blogs,
>> Talking about idiot media and patriotism which doesn't really go together
>> Shows pictures of galaxy and other planets. We don't care about people in this planet..
>> Talks about sambar. yeah, which is really important for our life right..

>> Still talking about the 11 waste men who spoiled our dreams of winning world cup..
This is just to name a few.(Bloggers, don't take me wrong. I didn't mean to hurt by pointing your blog. I am trying to comment on overall perspective. Please don't take it personal) Editor didn't even bothered to check out my blogs and atleast feature one to get more exposure. I even contacted them directly calling the member dept to give more exposure. Nothing happened..
Being totally honest, I didn't do all this post to get more comments and increase my rank. I am planning to create a new login as soon people start recognizing and wanting to participate.
I am just trying to get something new started to make a difference in this community. I know its always tough to start something new because people don't believe in it. We have a long history to support that fact. But I thought people come are educated and who can think openly. I guess I am wrong.
Are we just come here to pass time talking about same old, same old sambar(food), to waste time on the spoiled egg(cricket), discuss about the relationships jokes, thrilling stories and so forth. I guess so, I can proved it already.
What are we gaining by doing that? I know we are reaching and touch different people via blogs and forums. But is it really making anything difference in people life. I don't think so.. Again, its nada, zippo, a big ZERO.
Can you tell me or point me one good thing you did or got out of this blog and discussion forums? I don't think you find anything.
I can only name a few people like supriyad - women equality, JFWillams - care for old age who are trying to move this media to divert people attention on things they believe. They can only able to atleast get attention because they are under 250 bloggers.
Can we think about a good thing which we can do and accomplish to touch others life? As Indians are we lagging this nature of helping and caring for others? Where is tradition vanished? If only emergency or urgency happens like big earthquake or sunami, we open ourselves to do things nobody can imagine. But why do we close doors after that on the ordinary times?
I might need help tomorow or you might need help a month later which can be any kind of help. People need help everyday not only at disaster period. We can go running around at last minute.
Why can't do something now and make difference in people life by caring for others? I know we always have that Indian mentality, why do I have to care for others. Nobody care for me. There is government, NGO's and so forth to do this kinda of things. Aren't we ashammed of saying that ? How long we can keep saying the samething. Think about it..
I am not going to give up. I am going to keep trying which is my attitude unless I succeed. So don't think you can escape.
I know Sulekha editor is not going to feature this blog but I hope whoever read this, just put a comment (atleast now) to tell me whats wrong with all this initiative..
I thought of spitting it out because I really needed an answer..Hope I didn't hurt anybody in this process.. I just want to turn your attention to start something different..
