Freedom or responsibility!

Today I become eighteen year old. A day for which I have waited for many years. I will get lots of power. From now, onwards only I will be responsible for steering my life. But somewhere I have heard that with new powers comes added responsibility. Likewise, with all this freedom and power many responsibilities have come to my shoulders. Firstly to respect and trust Constitution of my nation as a grown up. Because it was the work of the greatest India minds, and it promises to give all of us a better live. Then I have to select the best people to take care of my country and its constitution. Then to get all the rights promised in that scared book to live in this country I have to do all the duties it have asked me to do. Moreover, if something wrong happens in India, then I have to bear the responsibility also with any bureaucrat or any neta. From now onwards I must follow the roads shown by truth not those, which are easy. In addition, have to respect the sacrifices made my ancestors who gave me this freedom. No one nowadays thinks in this way. However, this is the prices we pay for our citizenship. Until all of us pay these prices, we cannot make our country the best. Above all, we have to believe in India. Its ideals and principals that have stood the test of time and will continue to do so in future also only if we the people of this nation can trust it.
During this summer holidays I have only thought about how I will be responsible for making my country better. And after I turn eighteen this actually becomes my duty. I thought would I be able to do all these responsibility. Then a voice from my inside said “Yes You Can”. I hope that the long and tiring journey which I am going to start today ends well some day, and I will only pray to God that to make my country the best.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S - can’t we be……….

“At the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps India will wake into a new life and freedom”. These were the words which started a new era in world history. It created our very own great nation India and two similarly great nations on world’s map. (Well I am not going to give any history or geography lessons. So go ahead and read on. It is important coz it is the title of my blog. And my first blog is a bit related to it). But world never knew about those pieces which were remnants of millions of the shattered hearts of people residing in these broken countries. The broken heart which people carried with them made forget the definition of friends and friendship. But now the time have changed. We can’t live as our grand dad and dads have lived. With our young heart, passion and energy to do something new, can’t we remember what friendship is? Will we also foolishly maintain the same legacy of hate and distrust with our neighbours? But somewhere around a voice comes to me and s...

UnIndianing India

Today our Republic turns 70years. In these year we have raised ourselves from ashes of partition and hate, braved conflicts internal and external. Yet we have carried on as a republic for so long, because we stayed true to the ideals of our founding fathers. The ideas that shaped our struggle against a colonist, against the communalists. But very often did our republic find itself at the verge and it seemed the dreams that freedom fighters saw for our free nation might be too much. Last few months if not years have been like that as well. When we seem to be turning our backs to the principles that defined our country. Principles of unity in diversity. Where so many people from so many different part regions, religions speak so many languages, can live and thrive together. Where different ideas from anywhere is not frowned upon. Where one does not have to fear to speak his/her minds out. Where people from different places and religions were welcomed not just as guests but as God...

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...
