Oops!

  • Battle between heart and mind is an age old battle, and I believe every normal human being has this experience at some phase of time. I must say that first part is little strong at my side, heart rules most of the time. 
  • I love adventure in life, slow-monotonous and boring life is the last thing that I want, and this thing make me do many things that I do not expect that I will ever able to do. 
  • Most of the biggest decisions in my life were the decisions that I took in shortest time. Be it MS, or not appearing in visa interview at first time, or it is leaving TCS, joining VIT etc. 
  • I have this huge 'khujali' (I did mentioned in one of my previous post) that never let me sit still and follow the life as it is. 
  • I love taking risks at times, specially for achieving my dreams. 
  • I like to be unpredictable, even to my close ones even to myself. 
Well, you must be wondering what I am talking about! The fact is, if you are getting some gist from the points that I mentioned above... I did something again... I don't really know if its a right decision at this point or not or even if it is just a reckless behavior. But one thing is for sure that something big is on the way that will be either "make it or break it" for me. Its time when I am keeping my fingers crossed, and preparing to bring my A-game when I start this new phase.

Bharat Bhagya Vidhata

I have been coming home early every day since this Tuesday, the reason is one 72 year old young man who has been struggling against corruption for last 3 decades, and this Tuesday he silently started his strongest campaign ever. It was a great relief to see that for the first time whole India united for a cause, rich or poor, young or old, educated or uneducated... everyone is talking in the same tone.

Even after being in Vellore, at other end of country, I can feel the heat of movement that he started in Delhi. Probably this is the fastest awakening movement in the history of modern India, just in four days whole country is looking much more aware and much more mature. Everyone was self invited in this movement and I have surprised to see the momentum this movement has gained and rate with which word has been spread across the country and world is simply incredible. It simply shows the undercurrent against corruption and tainted ministers that was just waiting for a right time and right guidance to blow out.

It was a sweet relief that political parties are totally kept out of the activities, as it is a known truth in India that every political party in power behaves the same. I am not sure how successful this movement will be, but it will definitely send a very strong message to everyone sitting in parliament that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I always had complaint to people working in their air conditioned offices that they never trouble themselves to come on streets for a good cause, but this time even that missing part of society also joined hand. Now I am expecting that this part of society will actively go and cast vote on election day to choose right people.

On the side note, this movement clearly shows that when experience of old and energy of youth joins hand, it can do wonder. It has been said that before fighting enemies of outside, we should fight enemies inside. For the country these enemies are poverty, unemployment, and lake of education and the root of all these problems are directly or indirectly corruption. So, lets join our hands together in fights against this evil and also pledge that we will not any form of corruption.

Today, I can say that I am a proud Indian and for Anna its all respect.

Jai Hind
