What have we become in 60 years??The answer is quite complicated to fit in a single verse.A Lot has happened.Good as well bad.Of all, one beautiful thing that happened to India is our democratic set up.Though many other nations of the world have been successful in vanquishing foreign rule,today not many have a reasonable political composition.Unlike the authoritarian nations we enjoy a profusion of freedom,not to mention print and media press.Our leaders in 1947 were pragmatic enough to frame this democratic sturcture and by 1990's our people in power took profounded strategic shift by optioning for liberalised economy with the realisation that the previous soviet-economy model would be recipe for disaster.It is predominantly these two deicisions that influence every day life of almost all Indians.We have come a long a way in 60 years,especially last 15 years.
We are climbing up the ladder, reaching for the star.Is it wise to sit down,relax and a have a look back??Perhaps not,but if it is a glimpse and if it serves as a catayst,we should.But this should in no way blind to see the obvious in store.True, we still have a long way,miles to go and the path ahead is not as smooth as we can assume. Though we are reputed in certain spheres, we need betterment in other sectors like power, manufacturing, infrastructure, transportation, agro etc..etc.. Most importantly we need to counter terrorism effectively.We need prononunced change in the standard of living of every Indian.We need to reach the pinnacle aim of corruption free communtiy.But the look back makes us discern that India will translate the free market reform to econmic prosperty simultaneusly fullfilling the nation's vision. Further it ascertains a palpable self-confidence that improved change in every Indian's life is not so far away!!
Happy Independence Day!!
Happy sixty years and many such million years!!
lots of love,

What i did so far!!??
Well,for reasons plenty i didn apply for a passport till recently.Last week I was called in for a verification from a near by police station.I always had a preconceived notion on police personnel and politicians.Thanks to media and my friends.May be media,but my friends never exaggerated.Even now am certain,they were experiences to the core.When i reached the station,i was greeted by a surprise i never fathomed.Not only did the police person declined to demand a bribe,but also was courteous.I altered my misconception.Not all are exactly bad.May be few,may be more,nut not all.
The person influenced to rearrange my notion.Further the official also helped me to get new vista of scope and hope.I re-estabished my affirmation that a single individual with no big power at disposal, can still make a difference,and now with a modification that also by just remaining true to himself and to his country.Every single individual can enhance the progress of the nation.From any corner of the globe a citizen can contribute in his/her own possible ways to our motherland.Every single Indian should participate in the upliftment.May be by helping to educate the uneducated, nourshing the less previleged,supporting the under previleged or with a positive outlook for the nation and by merely remaining true to oneself.So it is important that every individual's role is important.
As these thoughts flood in,now,jus before the break of august 15, I find my self with a query.Aint i one such individual !!??

Being Myself
It was a very special occassion for me.I had all the distinguished people in my life.We exchanged thought,opinion and at times went even beyond. When the end came, every single person gave me a word to remember.There was one particular person who asked me to be myself.An another one wanted me to remain the same and not to change.To add more chaos, one more adviced me to believe in myself.I was grateful for every syllable they uttered.But i could never conceive what they actually signified.
I have always believed that one has to learn from every happening in life.Once learnt, it imbibes in you.Thus a change has been brought about in you, meaning that you have not remained the same yourself.Many a time I have observed that I have stayed myself by not being myself.So what are they deluding to me???
That night, on hearing all these, my friend reckoned that i have turned 'arrogant'.She was of the conviction that if I had my own idea of things, then i should have never bothered to ask for a remembrance.
For some reason i concealed from her, how much all these people have meant to me,in how many ways they have influenced my life, how much i have valued their words and that i was only wondering on the context and perpective they have wielded them for me.
