Because India Deserves Better

As we head into the arithmetic & chemistry of next government formation, I feel the core issues of development & job creation have taken a back seat. The enthusiasm & vigour amongst the new age voters signifies the undercurrent for a better change. We often tend to believe that urban citizens are more enlightened. But the voting percentage contrast in rural & urban areas shows the urban elite it's true standing. Respecting & reciprocating to democracy is our duty 1st & right 2nd. The only way things can change is by active electoral participation & not morcha type behaviour. I believe voting should be made compulsory to enhance the role of public participation in democracy.
Having said all that, the sole purpose of our electoral participation is our quest for more civic comforts we deserve. Government & Governance are not meant to distribute freebies but provide essential opportunities for the well being of the society. Our preamble states "We, the people of India....." but I feel we are more gripped by the feeling of ME rather than WE. I feel things change & by mere pessimism we are heading for further downfall. I still strongly believe in our idea of India. As Swami Vivekananda puts it "WE ARE DESTINED FOR A GREAT FUTURE". People may think that my thoughts are mere rhetoric but my belief in our greatness will never cease to exist. My conviction to the core has made be to believe that 21st century belongs to India. I believe in VASUDHAIV KUTUMBH. I can see mother india making her mark on the world.
Don't make the mistake of rejecting my thoughts as rhetoric emotional outflow. I & my indians are here to re embark on your past glory & set the terms for the future.

Relativity of Truth

Human civilisation has spent centuries trying to find the absolute truth. The events & precedents which were considered to be true, are now being challenged radically. I often think that have we evolved in our thinking or have the things around us changed? Old beliefs & rituals are constantly being challenged in the name of intellect.
In this commotion & chaos we have missed the underline ethos of Ethics & principles. We have progressed enough to fly high in the space but equations of human relations have taken a hit. We may claim to have reached Moon & Mars but in the process we have reached tenterhooks of life & emotions.
By stating all this I do not intend to undermine the achievements of 21st century generation but I am point out the treasured past which we have lost in achieving this. Development in holistic terms should definitely include the inter personal relations. I strongly recommend & believe in the age old vedic proposition "Vasudhaiv Kutumbh" and "Sar Panth Sambhav".
With every passing day we have to come to terms that distances in miles are decreasing BUT distances in smiles are increasing. Whatsapp may have made communication faster but the inner connectivity between the people has decreased. After reaching the pinnacle of materialistic success, great men have realised that happiness is not in complex & complicated gadgetry but in touching the tender core of emotions. I do not mean that we go back to the age bullocks BUT lets not get trapped in this wires & buttons.
LIVE WITH TECHNOLOGY
NOT ON TECHNOLOGY.
