A typical Indian Mentality

The world is shrinking.. IT and Communication has made the information flow as easy as never before... And a name is rising.. The name is INDIA!!! The land of the "serpent charmers" has drastically changed into an IT hub and Engineer's hub.. The world has started looking towards India as a marketplace to sell, to invest and to rise with rising India.. In this fast paced growth, the world must be curious of what Indians are exactly up to. We are coming up as a bright star in the sky.. We have plans of sending men into space - a major leap in the world of astronomy.. Recently we have won Oscar awards for an Indian film - that's our advancement in the world of movie making...

Our economy stood unbeaten in the global havoc of economic slowdown.. What are these signs? They say we will be the world power by 2020... But during all this - where does a typical Indian like me finds his place? Where is this killing race leading us? Why do I run in the stampede when I don't know where its gonna take me?

I don't have the answer now.. But one thing is for sure.. Like me - most of the Indian minds, are now changing.. They don't want the rubbish government that tries to divide states for the sake of their money.. They don't want leaders whose face is covered in the mud of crime.. They don't want ministers of India as the old bags, who never know when they are gonna die naturally!! What we want, are the learned people leading the country.. We want the rules be obeyed in the new India.. We want masses to lead the country in real sense.. Not just for the sake of democracy.. We look forward to the young generation to lead.. We look forward to programs like "Lead India" to actually give us some brilliant politicians..

Certainly there are some things which really don't fall in right place.. Like - we still have people spitting on the roads .. We still have less roads and more holes in it.. And the stuff that we feel not right around us.. But India is changing.. Industries in India are fully automated - with the world class technology.. We spend our money on Research and Development more than buying stuff from outside.. We have a growing force of Engineers, Doctors and graduates that outnumbers the whole world.. We have not only captured the IT Industry, but also we are the leaders in Communication Industry .. The Jaguars are turning into The Tatas...

These are the winds of change.. Half of the population at the Times Square - New York is now Indian!! The power houses, the big brains of multinational companies - are Indians.. The day is not far when Mumbai will be the Head Quarter of billion dollar firms..

Of course there are a few things which still need improvement.. But now is the time, when we should get out of the cocoon and realize that we are not the caterpillars any more! We are the colorful butterflies.. We have brains, we have talent and we have the spirit to work.. We are not afraid to face challenges.. We no more fear the Solar Eclipse, but we take it as an opportunity to see the mystery of nature..
The curtain is up.. The world is watching.. And on the stage is the best performer ...

The New India!!!

Not so young not so Matured...

Here goes another Sunday and I am not willing to continue with my work tomorrow morning.. Just had a great day with friends, and want this time I spend with them to be never-ending... But its not in my hand to stop the time.

Its awesome with friends.. With them I feel like I have life, I am someone and most importantly there is always a joke that makes us laugh.. But now after full day spent with frenz this night is making me dull.. Its making me upset.. Just "wanting to be with friends" is not the reason, but these days it feels that my friends are also not happy. Everyone is struggling with his own problems. Some are looking for good jobs, some want more money and some have other family problems.. I think the era of life we are going through.. When we are not teenagers, neither we are in our thirties.. We are in middle twenties, the life is quite difficult man!!!

Parents start expecting from us, life is not fully settled, then this stupid hit of recession and a 'not so exciting' kind of job which keeps on telling me that I am earning much less than the fool sitting next to me- its too difficult.. All those who are neither freshers in their firm nor quite seniors would be able to judge my condition.. The overall tension, the fight for money and the crazy and unending race which I know is not gonna take me anywhere, but as I am a part of it I must run is making me feel so dull...

Again a thought just hit my mind that why the heck I keep on writing these boring and negative blogs? I am just vomitting out a few points from the whirlwind inside my head.. Heh.. Why so serious? I have not seen the same laughter on my friends' faces in long time ... They all laugh.. But then suddenly they are quiet and kind of lost in their own thoughts... I don't want to see my friends like this... :-( When is this phase of life gonna stop chasing us? When are we gonna smile again with no worries at all? When??
