15th Aug…Our Independence Day… Yes, it is fine to wish every Indian, but frankly speaking this is one of the gloomiest and depressing Independence Day. Swine flu, draught, flood, earthquake, terrorism, inflation and ‘good ol’ issues like poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, corruption (this list doesn’t seem like ending…), population, pollution, dirty politics, ‘religion-cast-etc-etc ‘based racism and what not… This never ending list is making me panicky. What the “@*$#” are we doing to this awesome country???
We are doing something wrong here, aren’t we? Definitely…
We all are good at talking, but when it comes to execution we fail (except in case of destruction where we show great mob mentality; but when it comes to doing something right everybody shows their back to us)
Most of us have turned into ‘Eunuchs’, including me… and more than that we have accepted this. This is more frightening than anything.
Whenever I look around, what do I find? Our basic necessities are plagued with.
Food we eat, screwed…
Air we breathe, ditto…
Water we drink, ditto …
Transport, ditto …
Political system, ditto …
Education system, ditto …
Police system, ditto …
Economy, ditto …
Natural resources, ditto …
Laws and regulation system, ditto …
Money we use, ditto …
Media, ditto …
And so on….
In short, our country is suffering from not only one disease, but its health is in chronic state. And we all are fine with this… “Chalta hai (Its ok)”, “Kuc nahi hoga iss country ka (nothing’s gonna change)”… what is the use of such lines? Why can’t we do something about it? What is the use if we can’t even capitalize on the point that we have the larger percentage of young Indians?
So, NOW IT’S THE TIME TO TAKE ACTION… enough of this Gyan… I am fed up with myself, my helplessness… There is no one to guide a single Indian… Whom should I follow? Is there a single ‘Leader‘in this huge country?
I am proud to be an Indian… I am proud to be a part of country with this great heritage… but we should build our country over it… we can’t live in past and glorify things… on one side we have corporate India and on the other side, poor India… so in short, ‘Richers are getting richer; and poor are getting poorer…’
I am not blaming anyone, I am blaming myself… I am frustrated with myself… We all remember out country in the month of Aug or Jan… Why so? How many of us are actually proud to be an Indian? How many of us even know the meaning of our national anthem? There is lot of things to write about…
Just need your inputs on what should we do to rectify this…We need to come out of this ‘Hibernation’
