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.

Together we can

I liked the idea given by Sulakshana. Why should we all work separately and not together? After all, all of ours projects are related to climate change. We are just tackling it through different fronts. Someone is working for green building, someone in climate finance, someone in awareness etc. But my project has got best of all the worlds. So surely need the help of all you guys out there. But then the one of our Martian Mr. Raghav’s worry is very correct. What I think we should do is we should simply write about what we are doing and let the help flow in. All the things which Raghav says are true and practical. But then we have to make our project impactful. And this work cannot be done alone for sure. So we should focus our energy at not more than ten projects at a time. But surely we can pass suggestions and all to others. For example we in East Zone more precisely ICCs in and around Kolkata have 4 waste management projects so we are doing it together. I also have a waste managemen...

The Placement Season

Almost an year ago it was the same time of the year when most of us were at our peak of nervousness. We were job hunting madly. It was a mad house. Class notes were replaced by job details and then by SOPs. We all did end up getting jobs though. Infact half of us got job in the very first day. Which for many turned out to be a disaster. What I learned in this whole year was we do lot of things just based on peer pressure and want to conform to the social norms. Higher package, bigger brand the better. And in all that cacophony we forget to listen to our hearts. Two years in TISS prepares us for many challenges that we would face in future, yet we decide to settle for things simpler and easier. If we put ourselves together we can achieve so much for our country and ourselves yet we fail to realise most of it in time.Yes some do realise it before other do and take that bold step. The fact that I am writing this post thousands of miles away from home in a foreign nations speaks vo...

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...
