Random Thoughts

People are really funny in this world or at least in my country. When I criticize the Government on something, they come attacking on me if you want to change why don't you become a politician or join the Government. Yes, right so when someone doesn't like a movie or someone doesn't like a book or the food doesn't taste good and when that someone criticizes the thing that he or she doesn't like do they make a new movie or a book or cook their own food. A critic's job is to comment on the thing and not make the thing. As they are funny people they will think that the comparisons are unfair as their mind refuses to accept the fact that they are wrong and refuse to accept the fact that India is faring badly because of the Government but due to their patriotic blindness they still refuse it.

Yes, India is growing, growing fast according to majority of Indians, (Worli Sea Link ,20 years and still incomplete) yes, its growing fast. Its growing on paper I agree completely with that fact. Huge amounts of money and growth rates are shown which of course are difficult to decipher by the layman, but still those numbers are for the paper. Reality is different.

See outside the metropolitan cities (actually outside Bombay), India has a long long way to go ahead. The basic needs of food,water & electricity are yet to be fulfilled. Its pity to see my country which has actually all the resources and everything which other countries don't have in such shambles.

We have the beaches, the mountains, the lakes, the rivers, the deserts, the forests,  which can make us the number one tourist destination. We have all the resources required through which we can feed all and educate all, but that is if the Government really wants to work for the benefit of the nation than securing their generation's and generation's luxury.

Even though we will develop one day hopefully before the destruction of this world, the minds of the Indians will take a lot more years to mature and develop. Educated people are not matured enough here, let alone the literates and the illiterates. 

Don't think I am not a patriot, I am but I want my country to develop and unlike some of you lot I am not blind enough to not see the reality and blindly believe what the media wants us to. This is a small criticism from my side, and no I won't join the Government and that typical responses "Tu khud kyu nahi government banjata aur change karleta" are statements of complete hypocrisy. Could have written some more pages but a bit on sleepy side right now.

  1. Nice write up, especially the thought over been critic. Sadly people dont like to be confronted, which is a big mistake. Historian glories are something, that are been talked by any tom-dick, harry and now even harry's brother. We have a polarized problem of being living in extremism - either we deny all the problems out-rightly or play super victim with no re-course. The best answer is persistence and not momentary patriotism or blipp of vigilance or attending candle march, and after the event all is forgotten or wrapped under the carpet. The fight is long due and will be for quite some time, all we need to b is patient and persistent
