We the People

It has been a month since that day has passed. I have not forgotten what have happened on 22nd of July. They brag on India and say ‘It is the largest democracy in the world’. Democracy means ‘we the people’ in there words ‘aam admi’. So I ask all of those who sit in that building and decide the fate of more a billion people of this world. Do they really care and respect us and for the democracy. Well each time they find ways to prove it by some way or the other that they don’t really care for each and every one. We are those people who have given the responsibility of making our lives better and making our country what our ancestors have thought it to be like. We consider them to be more responsible, more knowledgeable, more experienced and more disciplined than rest of us. Therefore we give the responsibility of running our India to them. But they do care for or not is still big question. Caring for it means respecting there very dear ‘aam admi’.
The Parliament of India, the circular building which ‘runs the world largest democracy symbolises that India never stop and always moves ahead’ as they say. It is also one of those places where world stares at India. If these respected people whom we elect to move our country ahead show very ugly face of India in front of the Indian and international press. Then how simple and common men stop him from saying “today for the first time I am to be an Indian’. Do they now care for us we could only hope that in future? Shouldn’t they try to think what could future generation and the rest of the India learn from them? They say that the ‘youth is the building block of new India’. But they should know that they are destroying those building blocks. We consider them to be gentle men and women. But there behaviour in that building is not better than a student of nursery. Should we teach them how to behave in there workplace. To be quite when else someone else is speaking. I and million of young Indian don’t whether to trust them for our lives and our country. But I am not complaining about a single person, or a single group of people and for a particular day. But surely 22nd July was an eye opener for all the Indians. Even as they say ‘it was a black mark on Indian democracy’. Which may have been? But they realise that before representing there group, there people they are representing India. Today when Indian is rapidly becoming an economic power house, not only Indians but world’s eyes are also on there every move. So it should be there responsibility to inspire and represent India well on this stage given to them by ‘aam admi’. It is there duty to make every Indian say ‘I am proud to be an Indian’.
What have happened on 22nd July is something which most of the Indian are not going to forget very soon. I’m in search of answers.

Destination Moon - Pallava Bagla, Subhadra Menon

In 2008 Indian Flag was planted on lunar soil. But how did Indian reached their? What started with sending sounding rockets for the benefit of the newly formed developing country ended up being the leading space programme in the world? It gives all the details on how the Indian Space Programme evolved. Starting literally from scratch, and fight foreign embargoes and technology denial regimes it evolved in to country’s if not world finest institution. It shows how it started under the visionaries like Vikram Sarbai, Homi Bhaba, and the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and was subsequently supported by different governments.

Back Stabbed 1

I don’t know but it seems that India has a long and still lasting tradition of being stabbed by those people whom India helps. “30th October a day t5hat will live in infamy”. Perhaps this is what FDR would have if he could be our President or perhaps not. Pearl Harbour attack or 9/11 attack on US have happened once in sixty years. But here in India not even six days passes without someone stabbing our nation in its heart, whether they are terrorists, anti-socials or even so-called civilised people. India is been constantly butchered to pieces uncountable. Perhaps these incident happens so occasionally that our honourable PM and President have to appoint all the Booker Prize winners. (I really meat that, the number is very large now.) From last few months the numbers of bomb blasts are increasing and those bad guys have made whole India what Jammu and Kashmir was few years back. I think we are behind these blasts and all. Firstly we can’t elect a responsible government to run world’s ...
