JANET: CREATING A GREEN REVOLUTION


 Bangalore: A landscaper turned environmentalist Janet S.K.Yegneswaran continues her quest of saving the environment by planting thousands of saplings in and around Bangalore. In the year 2005 she started “Trees for Free” in memory of her husband R.S.Yegneswaran, whose name was mentioned in the Limca Book of records for attaining the ‘most number of university degrees.’

         Bangalore was developing at an alarming rate. With the increase in population large number of buildings mushroomed across the city. Trees were being cut mercilessly to support the growing population. Janet believed that she could make a difference in everybody’s life and went around planting trees. “Initially I had to go door-to-door requesting people to plant trees in front of their house.  After 2 years of struggle, with the help of the media, people started approaching us for planting of trees,” Janet said.  Soon, many schools, colleges, government offices, hospitals and residential welfare associations began to contact her.

 As the days passed, large number of volunteers joined the organization rendering their best possible support.  As of now “Trees for Free” has planted over 30,100 saplings in and around Bangalore. If the people of the locality are willing to water and take care of the saplings the organization plants trees and also install tree guards wherever necessary.  To assist the farmers they also plant fruit yielding trees in many villages covering a distance of 100 Kms. Janet S.K.Yegneswaran is a true example of enduring commitment and courage. If you want trees to be planted for free in your locality visit www.treesforfree.org

INSPIRING QUOTES OF US MOINUDDIN

US Moinuddin




“Most of the people don’t get what they want because they never had the patience to clearly define what they wanted.”
   US Moinuddin

“Never underestimate your companions. Great ideas can come from the least expected sources.”
                                    — US Moinuddin

“What you are today is the result of the decisions you made till this moment. If your life is desirable, congratulations. If not, it is never too late to make your future decisions right.”
                                    — US Moinuddin
 
“There is no rule that says, “If you lose today, you are a loser for life.” But if you believe that you are a loser for life, you bet you will be.”
                                          — US Moinuddin

“The results you are witnessing in your life are a product of your actions. And the series of actions which you choose are a matter of your thinking. If the results are not what you want them to be, you need to change your thinking.”
                              — US Moinuddin

“When I started taking life seriously it became a source of stress, ill health and anxiety. When I thought of it as unimportant it became a joy,
a celebration and everything seemed so wonderful.”
                                              — US Moinuddin

“When you dream, you believe. When you believe, you take action. When you take action, you succeed. When you succeed, you inspire.”
                                               — US Moinuddin

“Peace between nations is lasting when their citizens feel that people beyond their borders are no different from them.”
   US Moinuddin

“If a person’s response to you at the moment is unfriendly, his personal issues most probably burden him.”
   US Moinuddin

“ We all dream, some during the day and some during the night, but people who dream during the day are powerful, for it is they who can change the scenario of the world, for it is they who believe in a change, for it is they who believe things can happen, and for it is they who can make them happen.”
                           — US Moinuddin

“It is a rather funny situation with humans that when they take pride in their wealth soon they discover somebody wealthier. When they take pride in their beauty soon they discover somebody prettier. When they boast about their intelligence very soon they discover their ignorance. But, the limitations we experience largely stimulates us to raise our standards.”
                               — US Moinuddin

“Nature doesn’t discriminate any person; success comes bountiful to the person who works hard.”

                             — US Moinuddin

“The young man says, “Old fool doesn’t know much.” The old man says, “Young fool needs much to learn.””
                               — US Moinuddin
                           
“The more you resist change the harder your
life becomes. The moment you begin to accept
change, the better you feel.”
                                           — US Moinuddin

If people can learn tolerance, overcome pettiness,
fanaticism and superstition a society can achieve
greatness.”
                         — US Moinuddin


“Spread happiness wherever you go. All it requires is a genuine smile and some pleasing words.”
                        — US Moinuddin

 “People are guided more by the fear of religion rather than the understanding of religion. Ignorance breeds fear, understanding develops
courage and encourages right actions.”
                             — US Moinuddin
 
“We are powerful beyond our imagination and most of our potential diminishes because of our inability to choose the right kind of thoughts.”
                                 — US Moinuddin

If your prayers are not answered at the moment do not fret. Start giving more effort, more time and more dedication to your ventures. It won’t
be long before they are answered.
                                           — US Moinuddin
