A student from Tripura says "We were better off before independence than after". For clarification, he is not an underprivileged tribal but a student studying in one of the premiere institute established and sponsored by the government post independence. A reserved Non Creamy layer other backward caste student criticizes the recruitment policy of government institutions. A public society complains for they are getting only twenty two hour electricity supply that too interrupted. And to mention Sharad pawar wants to partially shift his burden to someone from his party only.
Well, it was a short excerpt of what I see in my daily life. So I will stop discussing these topics because it may never let me complete my first blog. On the eve of the Independence Day which I celebrate every year and thank the revolutionary freedom fighters for providing me the glory to look the world at its eyes. Yes I love my country India, The country which is expected to replicate the biggest economies like US, UK …in the future as nearest as 2050; the country listed among the few nuclear powers; the country which holds a crucial position in reducing global warming, no doubt the biggest threat to the presence of life; and yes the country which is going to host the commonwealth games despite exploring the corruption at the highest level. All of these facts have one thing in common, ”biggest”, and that makes me feel proud that I am not inferior to anyone in this earth. So I am grateful to all those who contributed to achieve me this glorious status. Oh, I forgot ….the boy from Tripura I just mentioned, had some complains but I think that’s their problem and they are responsible for their story. Also why should he complain??He is getting all the facilities a privileged student gets. And yes I am justified in throwing stones on that NC OBC student, Sharad pawar and off course Suresh kalmadi the perpetrator of commonwealth games corruption. So in my perspective everything is going great and you can’t expect everybody to be happy or get everything he desires. Yeah, that’s the point I want to make, I cannot get everything I want so why do I expect to fulfill all my desires.
But I am little bit confused what to do? If I don’t think about the tripuris how can I discover that they are not getting their fundamental rights of life in their native land? That they are ruled by people mostly from Bangladesh who have infiltrated country which as much theirs as it is mine. Should I make the NC OBC student realize that there is a student outside somewhere who has cracked tougher nuts than you in his life and is still struggling to get a chance? And why shouldn’t I enjoy the show if something wrong happens during the commonwealth games and the officials are sued? Yes, I should, because I have been doing this for a long period. And besides, I am not the perfect person to look after these issues. I have my own career goal which has nothing to do with these issues. What I am capable is to criticize everyone when I get a chance. I criticize when the MNS creates violence against Biharis, when Indian Hockey team doesn’t qualifies for the Olympics, when government cannot provide justice to the Bhopal gas tragedy victims, When there is an attack by naxalites on Indian railways, when Taj hotel is taken as hostage by the terrorists, when a big fraud is caught in a big software firm like SATYAM, and when Ravindra Jadeja plays from Indian cricket team despite of a continuous pathetic performance. Because it’s in my nature and this is what I do to entertain myself and call myself a part of the emerging youth population which is socially responsible, highly productive in corporate and which shares most of its idea on twitter, facebook etc. Why should I be like the one who buys books for a young watch man who is eager to study and used to solve sums from the newspaper? Why shouldn’t I complain that he is not doing his duty and that a dog entered in my hostel premises due to his negligence? I already have struggled enough in my life so it’s time for me to enjoy the privileges and entertain myself and my near ones. After all I am also an Indian and I also love my country as much as the others do. I am a proud Indian and every year Independence Day reminds me this and I say Jai Hind as a greeting for my country people. I don't think my country needs anything more from me.And even if if I should do more, I simply won't because I follow live and let live principle and that is the secret of success in my country.

Quite cynical of you in your endgame.We can always do one thing - strive to make our nation a better place and not accept all the problems just as they are because we Indians have a solution for everything in what we call as 'Jugaad' and may I point out that this is the main problem for everything as well.
So on this day lets make a promise to ourselves of cleaning up the mess we have for us and the future generations as well!
i don't know that whether ur views about doing anything is right or wrong....
but i must say we all INDIANS especially educated class is facing this but is not able to express it....
i treat ur post as a gr8 initiative towards this in realising todays youth about their situation....
and i congrtas u for writing such a good first blog...
so happy bloging
First of all Happy Independence day
There is no limit to our complains or desires.So instead of being proud of our country and making the best use of resources we always COMPLAIN and I am also included in this WE.
I learnt a lot by reading the blog.So if i got inspired then any common man can get.According to me every INDIAN should celebrate this day and be content with whatever our mother india has provided.
It takes no time fao a disaster to take place but if we try to provide solution to it it might take a year.
So friends whoever read this plz paas on the message
Because WE CANNOT CHNGE THE WORLD BUT WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRAVO
Ofcourse you have your rights to enjoy your life and since now you are in such a good position ,you can.
But dear ,rights always comes with few duties ,duties towards your families, your friends,your society ,your nation and above all to humanity and your mother earth. Just ask yourself how many times have you done your duties.if someone helps a poor person so that he can rise in this society ,what's wrong with that, its like giving a opportunity to him. Think if you wouldnt have been given those opportunties where would you have stood?? it was just that you were lukier and he was unluckier.
Friend i just want to tell you that there are things you cannot change, but there are few things which you can. Dont be so selfish ,come forward ,our nation need people like you ,because people like you can bring a change .Trust me.
I think the person above is referring to the statement... "Why should I be like the one who buys books for a young watch man who is eager to study and used to solve sums from the newspaper?"....I'd say its a matter of choice and not obligation.Just think how many of us actually help someone who has something in him to be good.The world is full of selfish people and no one can change that.But what we can do is contribute something from our side to make an example of ourself and hope people follow.If you have never done good for anyone then you have absolutely no right to even criticize someone.Think about it!
The statement concerning the watchman is ironical and before commenting upon, we must imbibe the essence of intention.
writer tends to refer that we always are confined to satisfy our own needs. Sarcasm lies in his being selfish, even though he is in condition of confering benefactions. The will he shares is a general reflection of our society. We live in a pyramidical structure of heirarchy. With significant progress in life, we move upwards and forget the bottom. The future is shallow and becomes void if we eliminate the bottom. So never come across the thought which may hinder discharging us the responsibilities for the bottom. Our existence at the top owes something to those who are down there. There is no light without Darkness!!!! Right????
