to be or not to be? to take or not to take?
i say the negative.No,its not fair at all, why should we curtail our dreams by pledging a part of it to another country?
We have the resources,we have everything,i.e. everything except the technology.
Its time ,we think of plans to invent our own,then take some other country.Gone are the times,when we were dependent on others,we have reached a stage,where should take care of our selves.This independence day will be remembered for this reason more than anything else,i.e. the INDO-U.S. nuke deal.
what ever the thing says i am not interested,nor in reading long essays about the pros and cons,rather i am bothered about what effects it will have.
Remember how the British and other Europeans entered the country? i think this will lead to a similar situation,they will start interfering in all our problems.
I seriously think that its time India adopted a more swadeshi way.It is our nation and our people who are suffering from the supposedly "backwardness" .We also have to eradicate poverty and other social degrading factors.Again the aam admi is directly affected by all decisions.We can use what we have and develop and build.all we need to do is,just see it.
If we can open our society more,in ways which would allow people to come up and take up the challenge.One important factor is the corruption.this doesn't have any permanent solution nor will there ever be one.We will have to find a way,to reduce this, to a level where it is feasible for people to come up with our own ideas.
It is time we begin.Let us work and churn our own power and let us not become exposed.

on independence day
today is India's independence day.
We all now wish happy independence day,but do we all think of the amount of blood and sweat that was split to achieve this?
The number of people who gave up everything in life,for the sake of the nation.It was there efforts which got us the freedom.Yet we have failed to grow out of the hangover after independence.
We still haven't removed poverty,still no equality and still no peace without any internal politics and rebellions.Our nation still has a long way to go.As a nation it is still young,when the world was sleeping we became free,but as it dawns now,we still find manythings not complete.Yes we have cities as big as any in the world,but we have failed to take care of everyone in it.When there are rains ,we have floods,THE people who live in the streets are affected th most.While for the others,it maybe similar to a lite head ace.
What sense of pride does a person who live on the streets have for our country?for him he could have been better if he was in any other country.His life has been full of struggle and all he would want is respite from it.How do we promote a sense of patriotism in everyone and anyone?
It is obvious our country's culture and heritage attracts everyone and those who visit it feel it is a "lovely country".but how are we going to make India a "lovely country" to everyone?
Economically speaking it is a tantamount task.It is almost.Yes our resources are ,our pride and strength.but have we tapped them to the fullest potential? To do this ,we have to borrow other country's technologies,but this is not going to be a solution,since becoming dependent is not we can afford.
We need to develop our own technologies,for this we will need to develop our education,bring everyone into the light and bring in more quality teachers.For this we need to remove the social stigma.The paradox which still keeps the society divided needs to be removed completely.For this again,we need to eliminate poverty and improve the standard of living.It would be easy enough to try and bring down the standard of living in cities,but this would need to more problems,in a way that the purchasing capacity of the people will increase and there won't be enough goods,which will again push up the standard.It is left to us to com,e up with a solution.
btw,check out his poem which i have written on India -MY INDIA

my identity
what your identity as an Indian?
how much do you feel you contribute to the development of the country?
how much do you think is India your home?
a heart of a nation,
so big that i wonder
why it isn't god.
thats how i feel.
it is my home.My culture,not just what background and ancestral history but my whole country,is what belongs to me.
I know i am living in the heart and the love of a nation.I know it is the love which keeps the heart beating.
how much do you feel you contribute to the development of the country?

tell us
Well this should be the difference isn't it?
remember we are ad-age?
how do you expect us to take to something ,which isn't properly advertised? What you may say be right,but how do we know?
telling us,thats our culture and we have to preserve it isn't going to work.It never did and never will.remember we are humans? remember,we all want to live and not survive,thinking that we are going to perish any second? remember we have got a heart? remember we have got brains? remember we also share the same wave lengths? remember we are from you?
forcing isn't the way.You give us reasons,if you can satisfy us,we accept it.If not don't try to push it.It maybe just that ,we haven't realsied things yet.It maybe we are next gen in evolution.
WE evolve with time.We have to change.Everyone in their time wants to make the world a better place.Put it right,tell us why.
We all have been brought up in this culture,after all those years of blinded belief would still one day rush back,its like a childhood fear.
What is good in our culture.If you ask me one world,expression.
We love it,let us choose what we want,its time we made decisions,we are growing.Let us learn,but at the same time don't ignore us.
We know,it is your right to know,but also it is our right to be free and choose.After all if we go down the same path,then life will not a adventure,what will it be?
Let us draw our lines.Give us reasons and remember,you aren't the ultimate ,we are as much a part of it as you.

un-music?
well here is a simple thing-
There was no venue in india for the concerts for the changing climate.Why was this?
it can't be for the reason we don't add to it,we are after all such a large country.Then why?
Don't we know more about music? Isn't our music one of the most inspiring forms which we have built the nation upon?Hasn't music been the sine-qua-non ,that has maintained the balance between everything.Whatever maybe the problem,who ever rules there has always been music.
Music and dance and celebration form a very big part of the indian culture.They have inspired generation s upon gen-next.They have been the life line,to the depressed ,they have been the solvents for all the anomalies.They have helped portray the country's united face ,under any condition and always.I remember reading in one of Nehru's books( about a couple of years back,i haven't found time to complete them) where he talks about the voices which go towards the Allahabad sangamam.We have corrupted chiefs,religious heads and what not,but religiously people preserve their traditions(well,i know now there is no use,for the rivers are either dry or polluted).
Then why wasn't India chosen?
Does the world feel that we don't have the spirit? or is that our music is too devotional and can't sing for the sake of humans?
I feel many people are sending the wrong message about the Indian identity.While i like all types of music,hearing the traditional karnatic music,really is the most pleasing to the ears.
Shouldn't we take it upon ourselves to bring up the music?Of course,you need to be more patient in learning Indian music,as it takes a lot of time for to come up to the stage and for arangatram to take place and also for the people in the hustle and bustle it may be too slow.
But i still can't find the reason for my country not being included.
whats up?

rules?
flout the law.after all rules are meant to be broken?
then why did we make them in the first place?
well i guess this the biggest problem in the country.There seems to be no solution.How will there be?it is all chaos,so many people living under poverty,so many more under social and political problems,there is no mental peace.how can we achieve it?

stitch in time saves nine
I fell upon this startling fact that India's HDI is lesser than Vietnam 's.HDI as we all are aware is based upon three main criteria life expectancy, literacy, education.
while there are so many things to sew and stitch in the world, this particular piece of information has really touched me.
India no doubt is a country full of vast culture,heritage and what not.But what is the cause for our country to be in such a poor state?
among various reasons one of the major reasons i find is the social factor.
A good culture according to me is one which has the capacity to evolve.While preserving our ancestral traditions and methodologies is also required to show the next gen,we need to know what to preserve and what not to.While we have destroyed our monuments and rich philosophies we have preserved the caste system and other socially degrading factors.We can claim how much ever we want that we are a democratic country and we are secularists but where do we see people setting examples? we have communist parties who take it as there right to verbally and physically abuse anyone and everyone.we even had a communal leader who abused the president of our country and got away with it.On the flip side ,we have the artist being arrested in the name of protecting the culture.As far as i am aware and the way i have been brought up,we are supposed to respect elder people at least for their age.Even bigger concern is that more and more people are being drawn into this narrow minded path.for a country which was supposed to be based on equality and freedom of expression by our visionaries ,there credibility is sure to be questioned.
on the same hand we have anti-social groups growing.Most of these people have turned against their mother land,simply because their loved once have become victims of fake encounters or even worse social injustice.
anc
Adding to this is the fact that our flora and fauna ,with whom our fore -fathers grew up with are being destroyed.
Education is something which can be bought ,all you have to do is pay.If corruption has trickled down to the root of the country should i say more?
Like in an ancient empire many live in fear of political parties.The situation of people seems to be becoming worse by the second.
We have many so called "swamijis" who make rather mint money from the god loving people.
To control this seems to be quite a complicated issue as such anti-social elements are directly associated with fanaticism.With the help of these blind people ,they go about putting their own laws and rules to follow.These include inter communal violence.Ironically it is the poor people who die,they the fanatics who put everything in ,including lives in the name of god die.
If we don't mend these problems,we will have to sue a new country.Stitch in time saves nine
