Button Dabhao Bharat Bachao

In the coming months of April and May India will go to world’s largest democratic process for the 15th time. World will again watch us and envy us for we being one of the youngest, most diverse yet surrounded by gloomed neighbours have stood the test of time. Our democracy has been compared to that of Athens. We have always been the beacon of hope and optimism for not only this corner of the world but for whole world. And today we have lost our hope and optimism for just few bunches of people. Who disrespect our constitution. Who disrespect the eternal sprits of our forbearer, who fought and gave there live for betterment of our lives. These people disrespect those who are guarding our border from the highest and coldest of mountains to remotest and hottest of the deserts. These people disrespect those who work hard to make India better. And above all they disrespect the sprit of people.
So now the time have come to show that we are good and we can change our country and make it better in the same way as our ancestors have done for ages. Time has come when we can select the best person to rule our lands. Because I know he is the one who is going to built roads on which I will walk for the first time. He is the one who is going to built school where I will study to be a better citizen of this great country. He is the one who is going to build the offices where I will work for this great nation. He is the one who is going to build the hospital were I will make my last journey peacefully. This is not the words spoken by me and you but by those who have still not born on this great nation. They are asking us to give them a better live than we had.
When our fore fathers fought the war for our independence from the mighty Empire, they didn’t had big tanks, they didn’t had guns or missiles. They only had dreams and hope that even if they may not breath in the free air there children will surely do. They went on to take on bullets and lathis on there fragile bodies but with a stronger mind. They spoke different languages and wore different dresses but there ideals were same. They also stood for what we are standing for today democracy, liberty and peace. Our country woke up when the whole world was sleeping. We were backstabbed by the communist. And we were infiltrated by the capitalists. But still your ancestors choose not to end this journey there. Cos they wanted to give us a better lives. They always knew that the truth will surely prevail. And there fore we have prevailed today. When our country became independent was reduced to ash. But today we are second fastest growing economy in the world. Our forces are bigger enough to take on any one who sees us with a bad a bad eye. Our tricolour was then only on red fort but today it is have travelled to moon too. But still our country has a long journey to undertake. We can’t let this journey stop here.
Today we are on cross roads again. We have our own good on one hand and on the other hand we have our own common good. Choice is totally ours to go and choose a responsible leader for our new India. Or to sit back in houses and complain about all the wrongs in the nation. Next time any incident like 26/11 occurs then you will be the one who is more responsible than the person sitting on the chair. You will at that time have no right to question him. So be a part of this great nation and push that button which can decide the fate of a billion people. And show again to the world that in this corner of the earth changes still happens not by the bullet but by the ballot.

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.
