What Are We Celebrating!!!

                             Well actually I should not be astonished when I see these kind of activities happening around me this independence day. By now I should have understood the psyche of people working in air-conditioned glass chambers. I have no right to stop or criticize them from doing the same, being one among them. But I guess the Indian constitution gives me a freedom of speech so why not use it and pen down my thoughts by seeing these Flags , badges , balloons , songs and gala.

Seeing the current state of the nation where our army is having a real tough time at LOC, our volatile international borders on both sides, Internal troubles in J&K and Telengana\Andhra, Gloomy Indian Economy where Rs is now  just tanking below and below , The tragedy of Uttarakhand And an ineffective leadership which has taken the people and youth of this country for granted.  Does this really call for a celebration? 

Yes why not it’s our 66^th Independence Day. This will be the answer. Are we school kids? 

 Is it enough for us to be happy that its our 66^th independence day, India is currently more turbulent as it has never been. So what we people have so boring and monotonous lives that this little event will give us some change. But don’t expect us to be a part of Change and drive our nation to a better tomorrow. Everybody is boasting our national flag at his or her seat, but how many will give a serious thought by seeing the state of the nation to which that flag belongs?  Almost no one, it will keep hanging and then we will forget when Diwali or any other celebration will come post that .

 Actually the people of my clan have become so mechanical that they will do anything which their team or leader will ask them to do, without even giving a thought of WHY? What For?   I know most of the fingers now will be pointed at me that what I am doing differently and what else a service class professional can do for his country apart from paying Taxes.  I think I don’t have tell you all , we all know deep inside what are our rights and capabilities.

 80 percent of this population never goes to vote, many among them don’t even know that they can enroll in the voter list of their current residence.  If not anything do cast your VOTE in the coming elections! 

Jai Hind!!
