India, as a free nation, 'at the stroke of the midnight', will be 63. Many things, issues, people have changed....much more needs to change. But today as I wish my dear country and all the people and myself a very Happy Independence Day, I would not delve into the meaning and idea of independence, as I did last year this day on my blog. We all know by this time what this word means and what it should imply in our lives.
We, sometimes, are able to do justice to the idea of freedom.....sometimes we are not.
Today, let's do a different thing.....today, let's look back and see what we've got and what we haven't. Let's list down the plus-es and the minus-es. Herein, let's celebrate the assets and keep in mind the issues that gives us joy and inconvenience respectively......Alphabetically, here it is for all of us:
Amitabh Bachchan : The word 'Legend' has a synonym now
Breaking news : without a break.....take it or leave it
CWG : will be big and successful, now 'you may say I'm a dreamer'....
Drama :want it in movies and soaps.but get it more in politics and news channels.
Editorial Pages : more interesting than the rest of the pages anyday
False Promises : we have had enough...time for some real action !!
Green Initiative : way to go.....!!!! :)
Hatred : communal and regional (courtesy 'Raj'niti ) alike
Incredible India : Our tourism needs to see a better day
Journalism (television) : needs an overhaul (not everybody though), less drama, more insight.
Kashmir : belongs to India. Period.
Love : is the word for us ...for everybody...forever....:)
Money over matter : The aim needs a change
(social) Networking : Real work...or nothing ??
Optimism : slogan of the nation....."Hum honge kamyaab"
Premier Leagues : blending occupations
Quantity : has a quality of its own
Religion : eternally overrated and extensively misused
Soniya Gandhi : salute to a survivor....in many more ways than one
Terrorism : STOP IT...!!!
Unity in diversity : our one big strength
Vendors : in streets, roads and highways.....moving merchandise..!!
We the people with...
X-tra Large hearts.....to make
You feel loved and welcome
Zorro : each one of us needs to be, in our own right to cleanse our minds and society at large.
I'm sure and you'll agree also that our India has too many more assets and specialties.....(and issues,too, for that matter) to record in one alphabetic stretch.To spice it up, I resorted to the alphabets this time and found that many more have been left out. I hope that India, with our effort and love, raises innumerable assets like these in days to come.....our vices along with our virtues makes us complete... but our effort to make minimum possible vices makes us BETTER......!!! With this dream and aspiration, I finish today....."Jai Hind".
