Finally after ages I am writing… You won’t believe how much I missed you my Blog *wink* wink*……Life is going on at a crazy pace with so many things happening around along with pressing issues in mind that I am hardly left with any time to put my thoughts in order….. well anyways, things got to be prioritized….
So…………..World Cup tomorrow :) :)….. Excitement is in the air. People are displaying their patriotic feeling everywhere they can. Be it FB or BB or messengers etc etc. I am overwhelmed to see how patriotic we Indians are. I wonder where does this patriotism go when we see our country being looted & corrupted or when headlines such as ‘CENSUS SOUNDS ALARM’ appear???? Is out patriotic feeling just restricted to World Cup matches or when a tragedy like 26/11 devastate our Nation? I guess so…… Anyways the point here was not to raise questions on our fellow citizens or anyone in particular but the thought is something very general that dominates my mind somewhere & I am sure would have struck everyone’s mind at a point in time.
And I am sounding too bizarre with the way I am putting things so I better change track
Ok….. What is that one thing which a person strives to do in his/her life??? Well it can be anything… travelling around the World, meeting their favorite actor, become the richest man for a day and so on n so forth…. But will that make a difference to someone’s life? ‘SOMEONE’ who is needy, downtrodden, neglected? No, it won’t. Somewhere I feel that an average middle age youth of my age takes more from society in general than giving back the same. Oh I know we pay taxes for India’s development, but that plainly fills our politicians heavy pockets owing to the prevailing corruption, which we gladly choose to ignore….. Jaise chal rahaa hai, waise chalne do… Humein kya farak pad rahaa hai?????
I am not saying I plan to eradicate corruption out of this Nation, that I know I would not even have the guts to do… But yes, in my own little way, I know I will contribute somewhere, for someone’s betterment. I do not intend to play the role of ‘ R Madhavan’ from Rang De Basanti here nor my intention is to lecture people who read this. All I intend to do is raise that question in everyone’s mind that ‘Are we making a difference to anyone’s life by just surviving?’
Actions matter I know, but I have always believed that intentions matter even more. Intention, if there, would drive a person which would anyways result into an action. And intention, even the teeny-weeny, makes a lot of difference.
We have several avenues in our society through which we can do our bit & contribute in whatever small capacity we can.
So wake up & think!!! Think where you can make a difference & how….After all, it’s just one’s good deeds that makes one grow in life…………………
