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!!!
I am so sorry to be commenting on your post so late, and it's even more shame to still be the first one to do so, on such a beautiful piece of thought-work. When will people ever take blogging seriously? Never mind...
ReplyDeleteAbout your post, the tremendous potential that exists in our country is even more tremendously eclipsed by the majority of unprofessional, misbehaving and most importantly, inhuman population we, as a nation, comprise of.
As you rightly said, now is the time to realize, that we not only are witnessing winds of change, but we ARE them!
Kudos to your writing, friend. I just wish people were more taken to blogging and could see how intense thoughts can be actually conveyed along. It's a pity that most of the people we know, do not see that... :-(
It was very much true what you had written but fact which you forgot to mention that no one like to clear the guttar by our own hand...
ReplyDeleteand thats were a normal men come into picture we can comment we can see but we are not going to make changes in INDIA....
What I see a employee working in MNC enjoying handsome salary buying his dream car and house and living with small family will never like to see whats going wrong with INDIA , the thing he will like is just to comment on INDIA... thts what we are doing BRO....
I liked your thought, the way u had seen brighter side but the darker is more dark to make it bright...
Simply just wanna say one thing Our INDIA will become rich, will be headquarter of some billion dollar company but then also we will be slave to that USA/UK company and this politics will be ruining our lives....
thats all from my side bro...
loved ur blog would like to see new one very soon....
tk cr :)
Hey Lokya.. Very well said.. The part of Slavery liked me the most..
ReplyDeleteBut what I was thinking is, atleast we have started thinking about what is bad happening in our country.. and that is what matters...
The wrong things, that were blindly neglected - atlease we realize them now ... And unless you realize something wrong is happening, you will never want to get it corrected... We have started moving towards that phase.. Hence, I was trying to focus on the good things.. :)
Wow Sahil! Thats a real nice blog you have written. Its very important that we Indians understand our own strengths and weaknesses. Just a simple desire to do our bit for our nation in simple possible ways can bring India a lot of respect.
ReplyDeleteWe are either complaining or just happy about what we learned in our history lectures about India. Never wanting to add something good to that history. Those who have realised our strengths are making us proud - taking India to new levels. But there are still many, many as you say 'who are yet to come out of the cocoon and realise that we are not caterpillars anymore but colourful butterflies'. Awesome blog :)
Oh my god.. I am flattered to hear from you Nisha! thanks for the comment!
