Commonwealth Games 2010

This year is year of celebrations for all of the Indians. The festival coming up in October this year does not belong to any religion or a community. But is festival for all of us who call themselves Indians. Forget about the news created by media and the big price tag which is associated with it. But does national pride have had any price. Is not price less?
I will never forget that time when I touched the Baton. It was as if something passed through me. It wasn’t just Goosebumps; something also came out of my eyes after they took the photo. It is way better than Beijing Olympic Torch. It is simply awesome. Thanks to Michel Foley of National Institute of Design. Who say that Indians are less than any country? This feeling of pride is simply priceless. No currency paper can buy that for me. And I think that is same for all of us. This year’s games are going to be the first Green Commonwealth Games. Isn’t that great. Our forefathers who fought for independence would only have thought about this reality only in their dreams. Today when British Prime Minister comes to our country he comes to country which is in no way less than his own. Today we may be playing sports but in reality we are colouring the dreams which were sketched more than 60 years ago. Some 25 years ago a man named Rakesh Sharma said that from space India looks “Saare jahan se acha” today even staying on the planet I must say the same. But surely we as young generation have got to do much more to make it the best in the world.
We as a Climate Champions have done our bid by helping organizing the Green Concert and in also in the Baton Relay. Some of us like Ayan da and Subhav are going one step further. I wish them good luck. And I think we all as a Climate Champion should also wish the Common wealth Games a very best luck, May be it be Green very green. Best of luck Shera.
Bye
Be Green

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...
