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. The space programme it self shows that if given in the right hands and in down in the best way possible it can not only be India’s best but also world’s best. It is surely inspiration for all the crumbling government institutions. In the later chapters it also gives us an insight into the future of ISRO. It also have the interview Dr G.Madhavan Nairof ISRO, Dr....

Negative Vote

This year I won’t be able to vote because I will turn 18 on 12th of May. So I have decided to ask as many people as I could to vote this year in this LS election. But who ever I told to vote said that whom we should vote for no one is good. In reality also all the member hardly differ from each other. Every on speaks in the same voice. No says something good for which we should vote for. And today’s youth is not that fool who will be misled by there false rhetoric. So the best way to not to vote for those people is not to go for votes. But in this way a whole generation will be created who will have no belief in this democratic system. Previously when there was the paper voting system negative votes can be caste in many ways but nowadays the with EVMs this is not possible. But what if a voter doesn’t like any of the candidates. His only option as I said above could be not to vote. But is that fair. Election Commission must start the Negative Voting system. At least then we could in rea...

Thank god it’s over!

2008 what a damn year this was. From start to the end this can’t get any worse than this. Nothing good has happened this year except that Manish have called me. This is just horrible year right out of some horror movie. Thank god it’s over now or perhaps I am going to die. I just hope that next year turns out to be much better. We will surely see how Obama is going to work in his oval office. Then we have a major task ahead of us. This is really a colossus task isn’t. I don’t know whether I am going to be able to give vote. Most of my friends will be able to but it is very sad. And I am really going to miss school days. I don’t know how the college is going to be. So get good cakes and make this year really great. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
