Light your CANDLE OF HOPE
India – A country of variety, a country of beauty, a country of survival. India, a country where people from world over long to live, where different heads unite to light the diva of prosperity. A nation with hearts burning with fire, with heads filled with ambitions, and souls as pious as Ganges. A country in the midst of deepest oceans and highest peaks, a country beautified by various cultures and religions.
But, is India or the Indians doing justice to what it is?
We need to trace out a map to fulfill the dreams, those we can foresee for this nation. India will be a super-power!
India will have to be a super-power!
WE WILL MAKE INDIA A SUPER-POWER!!!
What can we do? Is this what you are pondering upon? Hold on for a moment.
Let us go to the streets of real India. We have people like Palak in Indore who has moved the lives of 116 children. Who is Palak? What has she done? Well, she is no different from you. She is just a normal girl from Indore with a hope to rebuild the lives of people. She, a normal simple Indian girl, filled with true values, sings around and collects money. She uses this money for the operation of needy poor children who really need some help to recover from their illnesses. This wonder girl has managed to treat 116 children till date with the donations collected by her songs. She is neither a nightangle nor a playback singer. She is just a simple girl who has quietly done something to the lives of those who wouldnot have lived further if Palak wouldnot have helped. Hats off to you Palak.
Here, by quoting the revolutionist in my article, I don’t mean to undermine you. What I mean to convey is that India needs brave hearts like Palak. What can we do? Does this question still persist. Hold on, Let us use our knowledge, our passion for blogs to rebuild this nation.
The revolution shown in the movie “Rang De Basanti” and the unity exhibited by our fellow medical students at AIIMS for anti-reservation, gives me a hope that there is space to light this candle. There are hearts who desire to make this nation a best place to live in. When our freedom fighters could move this nation in those times of zero technology, then WHY CAN”T WE?
We have connectivity, we have mobility, we have ability. We just need to put all the three in right perspective. I agree to the fact that in this race to win, no one of us can move out of our schedules and proceed to change this nation. But, we have people who want to do this.
Let us help them help our nation. We have n number of political parties who want to lead this nation, who want to change this country. Whom to trust, these corrupt politicians? Well, I agree to the fact that poison of corruption has rotten our system. But, it is we who need to change it.
It is very true to say : To change the system, you need to be IN the system…
We have politicians taking birth every day. But, who make them a leader. His followers. Leaders is a leader if he has followers. We have a right to choose our leader. Only votes cannot help. Let us change the selection procedure for electing a leader. As the voices were raised for anti-reservation, so should we raise voices for the development of our country.
Let us all force our government to instill laws and rules to have a pre-qualification tests for the politicians. Let the new candidates be made to prove their patriotism. Let a new candidate make a show a change in any part of the country, be it in infrastructure or social issues. Only, then should he be claimed eligible for being voted. All those, politicians who have promises boldly printed on their momentos, should be given a deadline to finish the committed work. Why should they say, Vote for us, we will do blah,blah,,…..? Time has come to catch hold of such politicians who make such commitments. We all are here, no one is going away. So whatz the hurry? Let us all, not vote for anyone, until their committed jobs are not done. Let us all, before the next elections make it very clear, that elections won’t be held until the works committed by our leaders are completed upto public satisfaction.
Let us all, boost and support our media persons, to cover the relevant information of our leaders. Our media persons should understand, that we are not keen to know, when does a politician sneeze or when does he go to the loo. We want to know how qualified he is. Does he have the power and fire in him, to change or lead this nation? Has he ever done something meaningful in his life? Will he continue to work for the betterment of our country even after he comes to power? How does it matter who he has relations with? How does it matter, what other party leaders think about him? Dear media, we want you to expose all the facts of every candidate to make it very clear for the common man to decide who will change my country. Who will lead my beautiful India.
We all cannot be Palak, but we all can join hands together to make India a real pearl shining bright on the face of world. Let us move this nation through our ability to connect, our capability to blog, our passion to sms, and our dreams to prosper.
Let us all light our CANDLE OF HOPE !!!
