Have you ever stopped by a tea stall to save a kid from child labor? Probably you were getting late for work & ignored it. Did you get out of your car to help someone in a road accident; or assist an old man cross the road? Maybe you had to reach home to watch your favorite TV serial or cricket match. Perhaps you never bothered when a beggar was dying of undernourishment. Then, can we say that humanity still dwells inside us? We easily expostulate for what we do or just say, “Who cares?!”
Many a times, we are captious by nature and find excuses to blame something or someone. How many times do we actually act? Sometimes Yes, Mostly No! Because most of us are just Too Busy To Care. At times, we might follow the issue, but fail to act on it. Many of us want to do something for society but are unable to take out time. We feel, we reflect, we want to contribute, to act but something comes in the way. We feel inspired, moved and also guilty for not doing that something, anything. Most of the time, that inspiration loses its way in our packed, no-time-to-think, no-space-to-breathe, BUSY schedules.
Now, you have a chance. A chance to act on that inspiration. To help. To care. To act. To do that something.
BlogAdda in collaboration with Tata Tea Jaago Re! gives you an opportunity to do something for the society, for humanity, for your inner self! Share with us those stories where you wanted to or want to do something but haven’t been able to.

We people don’t care to improve our society, We are just dam busy with ourselves that we forget to give back to the society we are taking from. I like the jago re movement started by tata tea. Anyways I admire Ratan tata he is a great man, giving back to our society
