TUM CHALO TO HINDUSTAN CHALE

There is a leader and an activist within each one of us! A change in the system is what all of us want! We keep on cribbing about everything about the executive, the legislature, the judiciary! But is that all what a job of a citizen of a country is? Why don’t we understand that we are a nation who may be centuries old but is young coz of its newly gained independence!

One line in recent times that has inspired me like anything is “tum chalo tou Hindustan chale” simply speaking this one line sums up the whole issue! We in India are people who just love to nag at everything from politicians to bureaucrats to police forces! Discussions and debates are good but nothing would ever happen till we put words into action!

It has to be us – yes you and me who would have to make the difference! I am not writing all this flowery stuff to show my writing skills but for a much serious matter India – our nation! So this time I am talking about action not just the written word! A few of my friends and me have taken the initiative to be the one’s ready to bring a change we have started by small steps like a community in orkut.com and ryze.com called MY WORTHY EXISTENCE! This community is for those Indians who believe in doing something rather than cribbing! Who believe in acting and not in chatting!

You must be wondering what these 18 years can do! Well to begin with our main aim is to make people aware of small things like making their voters card as general elections are coming up in 2009! You might say what we can do… we are too young!
Citing a very recent incident in Yusuf Sarai near AIIMS a man tried to “touch” a school going girl at a wrong place and I saw him doing so! So I ran behind him and chased him and caught him by the shoulder and asked him what his problem was and literally embarrassed him by saying “ aapko kya lagta hai ladki hai tou kuch bhi karloge?” The guy couldn’t even speak a word and kept on saying “sorry didi, aisa fir kabhi nahi hoga.”

Not that I did a mind blowing job but one thing I feel proud of is that person would think a 1000 times before doing such a thing again! May be I even butchered his fantasies for a life time! I am not any SAINT, I am one of you!

There are such endless issues where we the people can make the difference! Join us if you think you have it in you! This is just the beginning we would soon be making our website and many more such things… every person has an important role to play!

A NEW BEGINNING BEGINS!

Very often we come across an old photo of our self and are completely soaked with embarrassment for the kind of dress we wore! The question we come across is that did I actually wear that? And the photo screams back loudly on us that yes u did! And one often starts questioning herself that what was wrong with my senses. Such situations can be just laughed at because we don’t have any reason actually we just following the crowd!

But what scares me is that there is MORAL FASHION too. The fact that makes them more dangerous is that they are invisible to people! Fashion is mistaken for good looks but moral fashion is mistaken for GOOD. This kind of fashion in our country is hugely followed by our LEADERS. There is a huge contrast between the two kinds of fashions – dressing oddly might make you look a fool in peoples eyes which would make the occasion funny to a great extent but on the contrary violating moral fashion can get you in big trouble in a big way like the public interest can be damaged hugely and the reputation of the country would go for a six! (Which the politicians are least bothered for as they don’t have time from making money under the table)

A country is what its citizens make it and to show the right path to the citizens are their leaders. In short a country is how its leaders make it to be! The leaders are the ones on whose shoulders resides the responsibility of running a country smoothly! What Indian leaders (un)fortunately have in abundance is that they are too involved in their ideologies and yes corruption is omni present in our country like bacteria and viruses! The problem that it leads to is that they don’t have a leader with the right make up! The country lacks a charismatic leader to lead their way ahead! They are all show no work!
What politicians want around them is MEDIA and MONEY!!

But there has been a change, a change in the way people think! People have realised that each one of us has to bring out the activist in us for the welfare of our country! Clichés like chan“yeh India hai bhai, yahaan kuch nahi badlega” “apne desh ka kuch nahi ho sakta” etc have slowly started to change to “hum badlenge system ko, yeh desh hamara hai”! This change is leading to a revolution which would slowly change the mental make- up of our dear leaders who are realizing slowly that elections are won on development issues and not on dividing the society on communal basis and it actually works – take the example of our dear Narendra Modi whose riding high on his victory! It is high time they realized that politicians are people’s servants and not vice – versa!

The power is in our hand and the ball in their court! The politicians need to give us a reason for them coming back to power! You do good and you get good! The law of average evens out on everyone! It’s high time they ran from it, like a ghost it has began searching them! Beware dear leaders, a new beginning has begun!!!!

UNDISCOVERED! - ASHLEE SIMPSON

( A SONG LIKE NONE OTHER- NOTHING BEATS THIS ONE EVER THE LYRICS ARE SELF EXPLANATORY DON WANNA BUG YOU!)

Take it back, take it all back now
The things I gave
Like the taste of my kiss on your lips
I miss that now

I can't try any harder than I do
All the reasons I gave, excuses I made for you
I'm broken in two

All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty
and left to wonder I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you
Don't walk away

Touch me now, how I wanna feel something so real
Please remind me, my love
And take me back
Cause I'm so in love with what we were
I'm not breathing, I'm suffocating without you
Until you feel it too

All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you
Yeah I need you

When I'm in the dark and all alone
Dreamin' that you'll walk right through my door
It's then I know my heart is whole
There's a million reasons why I cry
Hold my covers tight and close my eyes
Cause I don't wanna be alone

All the things left undiscovered
Leave me waiting and left to wonder I need you
All the things left undiscovered
Leave me empty and left to wonder
I need you I need you

Cause I can't fake
And I can't hate
But it's my heart that's about to break
You're all I need
I'm on my knees
Watch me bleed
Would you listen please

I give in
I breathe out
I want you
There's no doubt
I freak out
I'm left out
Without you
I'm without I

'm crossed out
I'm kicked out
I cry out
I reach out

Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

LEARN FROM YOUR HEROES!!

An idol is someone who inspires you!
An idol is someone who evokes the fire in you!
An idol is someone whose bits and pieces are within you!

I must have begun admiring her may be since I first came to know about her! She has overcome all the odds to make it big….. You must have understood who I am talking about! No marks for guessing! She has to be one and the only KIRAN BEDI

Kiran Bedi is a trailblazer! She broke new ground by joining the elite Indian Police Services in 1972, the first woman in India to do so. She is today the most celebrated police officer, having been awarded the RAMON MAGASAY AWARD for government service. Her humane and fearless approach has contributed greatly to innumerable innovative policing and prison reforms.

Just in case you must be wonder that whether I was going to give you the whole biography of her life which you could access from anywhere in the world from the net, you were wrong! Don’t worry I ain’t doing any such thing.

This article is to understand and realize that there are still a few good people their in India and we need to learn from them and follow their foot prints coz they alone can’t make a difference! And it is not all dark!! There is still hope! She has done what many wouldn’t have dared to even think about! Most importantly she has always stood for what is right! She has had the guts to tow away the PMs car which many wouldn’t have even thought of! The best thing is she has taken all evil and wrong also on her stride! Even after her voluntary retirement due to humiliation of making her junior as the Delhi commissioner she hasn’t stopped working for the welfare of the country!

In her first major step after doffing her police uniform, Kiran Bedi blasted police officers for inefficiency as she unveiled a network (www.saferindia.com ) to register complaints from the public. The Retired Indian Police Service (IPS) officer made it clear that her initiative would not serve as a parallel police but only register complaints when aggrieved citizens felt that they were being denied justice. This is another first of its kind by Kiran Bedi or CRANE Bedi as she was famously known.

These are just a few of the great achievements of a greater person! Just to throw light on if she can do it after things not going her way then why can’t we? Why do we always have to say the system is why don’t we try to change it?? WHY? One doesn’t need to make idols just for the heck of it but learn from them and try to put into application!

THE BALL IS IN OUR COURT
THE POWER IN OUR HAND
IT JUST DEPENDS ON US HOW PREPARED ARE WE!
TIME HAS COME TO GIVE IT OUR BEST!

NAKED TRUTH!

The complete North India is shivering from chilled winds! Delhi has registered one of its coldest winters! People seem to love the weather and are welcoming it in their own way! Hot coffees and soups at cafes is the latest trend! Markets are overflowing with people buying new sweaters and jackets to protect their already well protected bodies! People love sitting in their cozy blankets and eat as one feels much hungrier in winter!
WINTER IS WELCOMED BY ALL BUT POOR!

Our politicians must not even know what it is to feel cold?! They must not be knowing what its to not have food as the Five Stars have all been made to serve them! A centrally heated home and too many luxuries make their heads too heavy for them to carry and do the required.

In this weather the biggest sufferers are the poor, the un and the underprivileged! For them it’s another big struggle which they are suppose to fight without any weapons in their hands. With no shelter on their head and food in their stomach it is tough to imagine what one-third of India goes through! Each day a new struggle and no money to even get a medicine for their child who has been suffering from very high fever maybe since days!
Mother Earth becomes his coffin n he dies an unsung death!

BPO- BROADLY PERMISSIBLE OUTLOOK?!

Business Processing Outlook or Brawnly Polluted Office ?! What is it?
Well I recently joined a BPO company and was easily dismayed at the
quality of people I came across. All sorts frequented the corridors of the
call centres- Literally, all sorts! People from all walks of life come
to earn their moolah here. Now that couldn't be a problem. But there is
- PEOPLE, IT IS PEOPLE! Gawd! how desperate i found them to be. Despo
to make a point, drive home the point, desperate to declare that they
had arrived!

As a person who had had a fortune of teaching senior adoloscents for a
max of fifteen years, It naturally felt uncomfortable to see the fresh
somethings walk this pretentious walk on the caller ramp.
Undergraduates, Graduates and sometimes even some unforunate Post
Graduates like me. Freshers, Veterans, Techies et al. It is a virtual
cauldron where cultures andcommunities disappear with relative ease which is good but what is not is a simultaneous disappearance of values and ethics.

This is not a comment on personal choices but a line has to be drawn and quickly before it is too late. For what these poor, unsuspectingand very pretentious late teeniesand early twenty somethings don't realise is that they are actually walking, nay hurtling towards a complete burn-out point from which there will be no return!

Hold your hearts all you royal exceptions and honourable cases. I don't intend to adopt a holier-than-thou attitude here. Only that as a teacher(was) as a person who likes to the precariously dangerous ropewalking that these guys are doing. This article is basically to beware , to warn one and all for tomorrow might just be too late!

(P.S. this was my take on onenight@callcenter... my perception related to some given facts!..)
