Get the Elance widget and many other great free widgets at Widgetbox!I would like to wish my Indians a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY 15.8.08.

A thought occurred to me which I would like to share it with you[the reader of my blog].I had a vision [ dream or nightmare, I am still unable to decide],Gandhiji and Bhagat Singh ji started asking me few questions and....read below the direct text

Bapu : So all of you are celebrating 61st Independence
day, flag hoist,speeches delivered , sweets
distributed,go home watch TV/sit on net or blog.

me/us : yes bapu !

Bhagatji:Let me tell you I am not happy the way things
are! In the name of development, only the rich
are getting richer, middle class/poor are
getting poorer.There is decay in moral
values,no sense of SPIRIT OF INDIA. Too
many parties , too many break away groups
and all of us [ Branded or unbranded freedom
fighters][Sorry Bapu] were all disappointed
VERY MUCH at the recent happenings in the
parliament.That was a RAPE OF THE
DEMOCRACY! ,What are the youth of this
country doing?getting into IT jobs,minting
$,building more than required assets,
pubbing,celebrating westernized concepts as
friendship days,going to multiplexes,false
identity online dating,not bothered to get
VOTER ID, not voting and sending all
criminals to assemblies and parliament,at the
maximum go for candle protest and very vocal
in front of local TV reporter.A Big
disappointment, at least WE DID NOT FIGHT
FOR THIS INDIA. ask yourself , are you
doing justice to our sacrifices, do you know
What FREEDOM is ?

me /us : Dumbfounded and silent, Taking time to
recover, OK , I do agree but its not that bad
,So many people,so many religions,so many
languages, so many castes, staying
together,in spite of all that we did well on
education, space,sports, fought and still
fighting wars/ proxy wars,not that bad sir!

Bapu : As usual you talked of Direct Action then and
even now,but remember INDIA lives in
villages,it is still having drought in most areas,
some areas are flooded, No proper drinking
water,why there has been
no concrete effort in streamlining this apart
from basic primary education and
sanitation?One rainfall all your major metros and
small towns are inundated,still whatever
British/Mughals have constructed is there ,we
have produced / producing GREAT
ENGINEERS,none is concerned on this!

Bhagatji : Answer that My friend !

us /me : ok.let us talk of of present and future, guide
us

Sardar Patel joins in

Sardar : Namaste Bapu and Bhagat ji

Bapu n Bhagatji: Namaste !

us/me : God! totally cornered , felt like sitting in an
exam and seeing a blank answer sheet , sir! i
request you to guide us on something
practical,as we don't have that much time to
spend on nations development as One billion is
competing with the world and we are in the
RACE TO BECOME SUPER POWER/
Superstars/ Million dollars revenue generating
companies/etc ,tell us something which we can
do in our part time and Puhlease ! don't tell us
to eradicate corruption, it in our blood , its
there everywhere so please be practical!

The Trio are silent, I can see Bhagatji and Sardar saab fuming , Bapu is smiling

Bapu : Ok I heard that most of the Indian youth are great tech geeks[ did i get it right? ]

us/me : taking courage to smile and say yes! So ...

Bapu : Now pay attention to what I say without being
judgemental

All are silent and complete ears and eyes on Bapu

Bapu : One billion population and counting is a
blessing as well as a curse,blessing because
MANPOWER is the actual strength to become
any superpower, curse because 85% of them
do not have access to primary education, drop
out rate is high,no proper sanitation or
hygiene,under utilized Manpower turns to crime
or in a helpless situation[ unemployed youth],

THEY NEED SOMEONE TO IGNITE THEIR
MINDS AND MENTOR THEM IN RIGHT
DIRECTION on Career awareness, Health and
habits, Civic participation, accountability at all
levels right from gram panchayat to urban
municipal bodies and to parliament.Only way
out is use the power of knowledge ;

GYAAN BAANTNA CHAHIYE RE!

"create a e-literate and e governing INDIA"

us/me : Bapu, I am excited[ actually terrified because
Bhagatji and Sardarsaab are smiling at the
language being used by bapu and i was looking for loopholes -typical Indian legal, short cut,
quick gun murugan Brain] , more Bapu ....

BAPU : Most of you who had the fortune of getting
educated till whatever level that you are able
to read this , need to take out 2 days in your
hectic 365 days and give it to INDIA and they
are not 15.8 or 26.1

Sardar saab and Bhagat ji laugh at the mockery which we Indians have been doing all these years,playing manoj kumar songs or that age old song, "Kitna Badal gaya Insaan, sooraj na badla , chand na badla , kitna badla gaya Insaan, for 30 minutes and someone's mobile rings with a ringtone " Jhalak Dikhla ja, uff the heat is on

Bapu : OK listen , Go to your school where you have
studied and also to the nearest Govt /Zilla
Parishad school.If you have studied in Z.P good!

Meet the young adolescents of 9th or 10th std,
Can you motivate them to plan their career
effectively, use Computers and Internet for
education and for better governance without
hurting or criticizing anyone Just simple career
and health awareness with whatever little you
know.Tell them its important to get VOTER ID
and VOTE to the right person and not vote
someone just because he belongs to my caste
,religion or my area wala and stop sending
criminals to assemblies,wards, and PARLIAMENT

Do you know what is the cost to the Indian Tax
Paper for 545 M.P's sitting in Indian Parliament
for 5 years?

Us/me : I don't even know my MLA/M.P is? smilingly

Sardarsaab: THAT IS THE PROBLEM , eradicate that
first, get to know who that joker is ! and
make him accountable for the money which
he is using or abusing under M.P.Lads
scheme
BAPU : It is more than 855 Crores and counting

I was shocked and others too!

Bapu : Don't you think that can be cut and
decentralize the power n glamour behind the
seat.This will only happen when INDIANS start
questioning , USE RTI to the maximum.RTI is
the brahmastra

us/me : Bapu , do you think?

Bhagatji: Stop being cynical , first listen and believe and
remember ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN A DAY
and corruption cannot be removed in a day, It
will take time and sustained efforts from EACH
& EVERY INDIAN to rein in accountability for
that to happen Each one of you have to ask
Can I tell the Truth, Do I? How many times
did I attend my colony or flat development
association meetings and took active part in
development of my surroundings? Ask later
Listen first !

Bapu : Good One Bhagat and listen Take " IT" to the
benefit of the common man

L.B.Shastriji joins and says : Do not neglect the KISAN OR JAWAN take "IT" to your jawan and kisan and heard one company ITC has started something called e- choupal and its doing good!

all of us : This is news to us and good one at that!

Bapu : So beta / beti whoever is reading this
remember , bring in accountability within you
FIRST and then talk of nation , charity begins
at home. Do not be couch potato or arm chair
cynical faceless INDIAN.Time for practical
Direct Action , what say ? Can u take two days
of your time to spread awareness on this at
your school or college level? , pray
,give us some respect for the sacrifices made
by so many faceless or nameless branded or
unbranded freedom fighters of this GREAT
NATION.Do not break this and get divided in
the name of religion,caste , area etc, what say!

us/me : SILENT , not having words to express , lump
in my throat ....

Chandrasekhar Azad joins in : Sabhi Ko namskar , meri
baat suno ! The root cause for all this is
money and BLACK MONEY,Bigger the person
,More the Black money.Earlier British looted
our wealth which was for common man's
benefit and took it and stashed it in their
Banks, now what are these so called
Parliamentarians,Politicians, Bureaucrats[most
dangerous elements] are doing LOOTING the
Indian TAX pAYER'S AND THE COMMON
MAN'S MONEY and stashing it in Leichestien-
German banks,Switzerland ,CAYMAN
island banks etc.All this black money is
YOURS / YOUTH OF INDIA , and you say U
are tech geeks, whatever!

SAMAJHDAAR KO ISHARA KAAFI HAI!
aur main samjhtha hoon ke yeh INDIA
samajhdaar hai

us/me : Panditji[ azadji ko keh rahen, not nehru!] Yeh tho bouncer hai!

Bhagatji and Sardar saab are laughing uproariously!

BAPU is smiling and says : Gandhigiri Karne Ka Re!
wake up time dear!

Suddenly I am woken up by the shouts of BOLO SWATANTRA BHARAT KI JAI in my neighbourhod, as usual late for flag hoisting, rush in salute the flag , put the tilak, attach a paper flag on my shirt , eat the sweets and rush to the nearest cricket ground !

Even I am playing with my friends , I am smiling within myself not to know how to name my dialogues with the GREATS of India

I feel the presence of my grandfather who was in the army and told me TELL THE TRUTH ALWAYS ,SATYAMEVA .....[ Truth is Truth , not jayate or har te!]

BASH ON REGARDLESS ! JAI HIND

Happy Independence day!
