GOOD MORNING ….INDIA!

First things first. Sincere congratulations to Mr.Aamir Khan on his amazing efforts to make us face the reality that is actually taking place in today’s scenario, for throwing light on the truth, for waking us up, from our deep sleep of ignorance, through his show “Satyameva Jayate”.(Though this is an after thought, as the show ended long ago!!)

The episodes of this show did leave me thinking………I wondered if we were all under some kind of spell that had kept us all oblivious to the dirty picture around us, or were we ignorant enough to not even notice what was happening around us?!

Actually, the problem is we do not prioritize... …these days we are more concerned about purchasing high priced tickets to watch the IPL matches at the stadium, than helping our fellow Indians who are not rich enough to afford even a morsel!!!

As long as we get our two square meals a day, As long as we are hale and hearty, as long as our personal ego is not hurt, or our personal glory is not at stake, we are not bothered by anything that is happening around us……..be it the CWG scam, the 2G spectrum, the 26/11 incident in Mumbai, the Nepal plane crash……..everything remains just a piece of news to us.

Moreover, to do something for the country, we think we need to be social activists… We always feel the need to have a Gandhiji or an Anna Hazareji to start a revolution, to stand up against wrong…

Is stopping something that is not right, that difficult in today’s world that, you have to support it or remain silent, in order to survive?

 Let’s just give it a thought……..as a matter of fact, it is definitely possible for us to oppose something, that is not feasible, that is happening right under our nose, starting from things that happen in our day to day life, right from dumping the garbage in the middle of the roads, to crossing the roads when the signal is not green, to driving without license, to paying a lump sum to the traffic police for having driven without a helmet……..to list out a few.

These are just small deeds, which we can stop from happening, after all little drops of water do make a mighty ocean.                                                                                                                                                                                

 All we need is an awakening, a real urge, in each and everyone of us, to do what is right, to follow our conscience, to do what is best possible at our end for the greater good of the world,

Even if that involves shelving out our personal interests and glory, for some time.

If this sounds practically impossible, and appears to be only a sequence of words…..you are welcome to stop reading this article and flip this page, Because, everything actually depends on the individual, be it the desire to see a better India, to rise against wrong, to do what is right, or to strive to make Mother India feel proud of her children.

VANDE MATARAM!
