Hi Guys,
Wish you all a
very Happy Independence Day!!! 64 years back, on this day India became an
Independent country. We were given the rights of deciding our own things.
Last year,
August 15 was a Sunday. So, many people were sad that they didn’t get a
holiday. This time, August 15 is on Monday. Most people are very happy that
they have got 3 days gap from their usual routine. Initially, that was my
thought too. Later, I regretted my thoughts. This is a day we need to think
about our country’s past and future.
How many of you
attended a flag hoisting ceremony today morning. Most people think it is an
idiotic ritual. Some other people attend the function, just to get the sweets
distributed after the ceremony. Worse, lots of our people feel ashamed to sing
our national anthem. I have witnessed this in many functions. I at least feel
proud in this aspect. I have always sung our national anthem and I always feel
proud when it is sung.
One of the main
issues related with our country is corruption. In the past 2 years, there have
been many huge corruptions including 2G, CWG, Aadarsh homes, etc. The money
involved is too big and nobody cares about it. Even if people ask questions,
government thinks people can do nothing against them. People who raise
questions are just crushed.
So, where does
all this corruption begin from? I think our former president Dr. Abdul Kalam
gave the answer. It starts right from our home. He said if you know your father
gets or gives bribe stop him. What is happening is completely opposite. Parents
encourage children to do wrong things. They have no shame. It is quite obvious
from the activities and speech of some of my classmates. On the good side, some
of my friends are really good and they want to be honest.
People blame
government when they know of corruption. But, when it comes to them they are
ready to be corrupted. By the starting of this year, I went to Passport office
to apply for my passport. The officers were really great. They were working
perfectly. They accepted the forms only if the proofs were correct. Our
faithful and honest citizens expect the opposite. I needed to stay in queue for
2 hours and people were speaking ‘Applying
passport is a big trouble here. Officers are strict. People residing at some
XXX and YYY places are lucky. They can easily apply passport through some
intermediate persons’. What the hell is this? If you don’t have the right
documents, then you have no rights to get the passport. Why are you blaming the
officials?
There are a few
good people too. They want their country to improve. They want their people to
be good. They want their country to be perfect. The good thing is the number of
people is increasing these days. This is a very good sign.
Let people work
for the development of their country. If country improves, then the standard of
people will automatically improve. Let’s pray the good things continue to happen.
Again, wish you
a Happy Independence day. Don’t misuse your independence.
Happy Reading!!!
