Uncategorized Dear All
Hello! As you may be aware, in February this year TARSHI, along with 20 other organizations initiated a campaign and an open letter pressing for support for sexuality education in India. It is 3 months since we sent this letter. In the interim, we have heard that a Parliamentary Committee headed by Mr. Venkaiah Naidu has disfavoured the introduction of sexuality education in schools.
We are resending the link to the open letter which can be found on the home page of www.tarshi.net and at http://tarshi.net/programs/public_edu/open_letter_sexuality.asp and urging to you to circulate this far and wide and encourage people to sign on to the letter. We truly hope we can make this initiative count!
Please read a news article related to the Parliamentary Committee report athttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/4409307.cms. The NACO chief is said to have slammed the same report by the Parliamentary Committee. Please read about it at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Naco-chief-slams-Venkaiah-report/articleshow/4418604.cms.
Please feel free to share this email among your networks, friends, colleagues, press contacts etc because every signature counts!
Warmly,
Prabha

Uncategorized One of the inspirational stories which Barrie Su shares with me on facebook. I’ll call it the BARRIE SU PHILOSOPHER SERIES :P. No kidding….they are indeed inspiring,filled with opitmism.
Here you go.
A small story that might bring in a smile on our face and make us feel proud that we have made a difference to someone’s life.
Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing.He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”
The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?”
“The sun is up, and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.”
“But, young man, don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
Each of us can make a difference to this world. Everybody is useful and it is just the matter of whether u want to make a difference.
Love

Uncategorized Before you assume that I have got drunk and forgot my way back home let me tell you that I believe precaution is better than cure. Before that happens to me I did some research on ways to get back home after getting drunk.
Here is my suggestion-
Have a GPS chip in your phone- the police will track you down through the chip. Came to know about this through the funny post on onlygizmo.com.
Wonder if it can happen in India too.
Love
Ankita
