I heard so much of hoopla around a Noble man Anna Hazare going on hunger strike to fight for the people of this Democratic India.
Trigger- Recent scams & money laundering with government silently pushing the dirt under the Great Indian Carpet. I feel its a waste to fight for the Indian Public. We are all equally spineless and are living a life of sheer convenience where we do not mind paying extra for luxuries, paying extra for education even paying extra for love. Of course all in purely ILLEGAL SENSE.
The reality is we are an adulterated lot - Mind, Body & Soul. The voice raised against the Corrupt leaders is not going to solve anything. Prosecuting them will not stop corruption.
What is CORRUPTION?? Cor·rup·tion [kuh-ruhp-shuhn] –noun
1. the act of corrupting or state of being corrupt.
2. moral perversion; depravity.
3. perversion of integrity.
4. corrupt or dishonest proceedings.
5. bribery.
6. debasement or alteration, as of language or a text.
7. a debased form of a word.
8. putrefactive decay; rottenness.
9. any corrupting influence or agency
Look closely, everyday in our lives we see one or the other form of corruption. From Education, Industries, Hospitality, Services to Sports and even Poverty corruption has seeped into our blood.
THE INDIAN DNA- GENE CORRUPTION X
I am supposed to respect the ways of BIG CORPORATES. Watch them prosper by seeing the amount of Lobbying and money power used to grow their business illegally. And why?? They would generate employment. If building money in India was this easy we would have had a multi-millionaire in every 10 metres distance.
We want to Buy a Darshan to Vaishnodevi. VVIP darshan?? What is happening in this country?? It is a hopeless lot. The honest are beaten when they file an RTI. False cases, allegations & below standard mentality is ruling every heart of India.
When we won the World Cup, cricketers were given Crores of money, What about other athletes who won medals in Common Wealth?? Just mere Lakhs!!! Why this disparity? Why this discrimination?? Is this not the responsibility of the state not to encourage inequality and promote all sports. Why give cricketers flats & lands? Is it actually recognition of their achievement or an act to please & appease. And is this not public's money?? Are we being asked where we want this to be spent??
Many times in life, we compromise by accepting the flouted norms. We are scared that if we do not give in to the system, system will throw us out. We go with the Dirty Flow, pollute our soul & kill our conscience. For a nursery admission, Govt makes some point system and schools do not honor them. Is there anyone to listen & take an action?? NOOOOO Right to education is merely a sham.In the name of education, it is a money laundering process. It is a Vicious Circle.
The name of the Game is POM. Its core ingredients are POWER, OBLIGATION & MONEY. Politicians accept monies and power of corporates throughout the year.
What corruption does??
It kills all the means of opportunities. Its a facade to hide development, to transform thinking rationally to illogical opinions. We are not now corrupt by actions but A NATION CORRUPTED AT HEART & THOUGHT. Corruption takes away the POWER TO THINK & OBLIGES US TO ACCEPT MONEY LATER OBLIGING US FURTHER TO RETURN A FAVOR.
To get critical decision sanctioned by Govt, Corporates oblige them. From Press to Media whatever we see as objective is nothing but opinionated & judgemental piece of news.Our school text books are colored with political undertones.
If you are in the forest only the Wild survive not the fittest. Animals who work on instincts are interested in creating controversies rather than policies. Oops Not a forest but a zoo. from what we eat to wear to think and act is CONTROLLED.
Till the time a ANNA HAZARE is'nt pointing towards us, he is one of Us. Else like Gandhi he will also find rivals. Whoever still thinks we are a Democracy??
We are too many wrongs together making it right. The might of a state/caste seeking reservations for totally undeserving people. Why should anyone have any right to destroy public properties, halt Indian Railways, stop traffic on roads to raise voice for something they do not even deserve an inch.
We fight all our lives for an Opportunity . An opportunity to be heard, understood & recognized Professionally or in Life. When Abraham Lincoln thought of Democracy OF, BY & FOR the People, he was never wrong.
Democracy is what the citizens make it.
Corruption is not what an ANNA HAZARE can eliminate alone. Corruption is a monster which is now bigger than OUR COMBINED WILL & ACTION. India is in its final stage of decay. We have transgressed all forms of corruption.
Majority of India is not propagating corruption, but as a breed we are silent and mute. We are attached to our families to an extent that we only think about them. Property is cars, houses, assets and not knowledge & goodness.
There are deserving, noble men & women who will glitter amongst fake jewels. Unfortunately, in life wrong stones make it to the crown & real gems often remain unknown. It is not a time to be jealous, there are blessed individuals who descend to make a difference, who are beyond any hunger for recognition. Those for whom life is not about them & their achievements but a thirst to think beyond themselves.
AND A DISCOVERY or AN INVENTION?? We all have that person inside of us. If we are not monsters, we are slaves. Corruption has killed the ANGEL in us.
TO KILL THE MONSTROSITY OF CORRUPTION INDIA WILL HAVE TO REINCARNATE AS A COLLECTIVE FORCE TO CHANGE.
Else Corruption will corrupt Minds OF people, BY our Actions and For our Generations to come.
AS NEHRU SAID, " At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance." It will hold true again.
I WILL WAIT FOR THE AWAKENING , FREEDOM NOT FROM A FOREIGN RULE BUT FROM OUR MONSTERS. TILL THEN I AM THE CHANGE I CAN BRING.

SACHIN TENDULKAR..THE GOD I KNOW
I have seen him cry, rejoice, succeed, struggle, in pain and I have seen him ecstatic.
The God I know has not looked away from his responsibilities and more than often has been Selfless. We have heard about Jesus, Krishna, Shiv, Guru Nanak, Sai Baba who transcended all barriers to command respect of millions & billions of humans. On the contrary, there have been many exemplary mortals who were close to perfection like Gandhi ji, Mother Teresa who made a difference in lives of so many mere humans.
I was born in the year when India Won its First World Cup. Unaware of the excitement , happiness and Indian-ness in me, I was living like a mediocre cricket fan for a very longtime. More than that I was living like a mediocre being. Then a day came, when I found my religion..My God and My Idol in Sachin. It was not an enlightenment, but it was once in a Job Interview back during my Graduation when I realized , YES I HAVE A MAN I WANT TO BE LIKE WHEN I DIE, THAT IS SACHIN TENDULKAR. WHY IS HE WORSHIPPED & WHY IS HE AN IDOL??
It is not about his game & about Cricket. It is frankly about the Character & Steel that he is made of. As a young gun, he did not forget his path like Kambli. A perfect differentiator of where HUMILITY can take you in life. Don't fly high, just keep running on with Honesty.
Some men tell us its not about the Power of your Surname, the position & Social status inherited. In my life I have lost many a battles to more deserving people, to more influential people, to prettier faces and attractive women. I have never believed in failing against a Corrupt or a bad human being. They are not a threat to me.We might not be in the most beneficial & conducive circumstances mostly in life (This goes for the common man like us) , but our Will & Efforts can turn tables sooner or later. 5 years down the line I will learn more from like of Dhoni, Saina or maybe Rahul Gandhi. Their time is yet to come, as they are to achieve more than what they have done today.
I do not know about the game much, what is On side/off side, gully, Long on/long off?Thankfully I do know what matters. What is money, Fame, Success maybe nothing in front of a sound sleep after you give your 100% to anything that you do in life. A wish of God to hold the World Cup and his dream had instilled conviction in young stars like Kohli, Yuvraj, Gambhir and many others. Indeed they are honored to have played with Sachin and would be extremely blessed if they learn one/two traits from THE MAN.
BALANCE- To keep the extremes in harmony. Aggression vs Patience with a heart to take Success & Failure in the same stride. Being aware of our strengths & weaknesses. Respecting fate & having the undying belief in Self. Rock solid commitment, passion & perseverance. Saying your heart out with utter simplicity leaving no scope for any bitterness or animosity. Making criticism a TO-DO List rather than a I Hate the Critic. To be 35+ , and still running around the field with enthusiasm of a Teen, I applaud Sachin for training not only his body, passion, talent , character but also his MIND & SPIRIT.
Sachin is a Visionary. He saw India winning the Cup like Gandhi saw India getting Independence. Conviction & Faith as much as being subjective are contagious & Inspiring. I am a NOBODY, but A MAN has inspired me to most of all BE HONEST. Honest to the people in my life, to my profession, to my talents and to my goals.
Yes there are times I want to be Cunning, Clever, Jugaadu & might love to give -in to small temptations and get my way through. I would get the end result once, twice but what would it do to me in future? People would give me back what I gave them jugaad, betrayal & below quality behavior. In India, there are millions of gallons of Talent, optimism, love, hope, faith, honesty. If we even realize 1% of its potential it can lead to many such moments like THE NIGHT OF 2nd APRIL 2011 for INDIA.
Sachin might not have built an empire like Arcelor Mittal or the Ambanis. He has surely built a Nation which will rise against any adversity, pain, struggle & rough patch to enthuse GODNESS (self devised term) into billions of humans who will strive to be like THE SACHIN TENDULKAR. He is a man to be studied and understood. In SACHIN- Hopeless can find hope, Failures can find success, Strugglers can love the pain, Achievers can become humble, Rich can rise above Ferraris & assets to value equality & rise above status-quo, Dishonest can have guilt and Zillions can have a YARDSTICK to measure actual success.
WE CAN BECOME MORE PERFECT AS A HUMAN BY UNDERSTANDING THIS MAN-SACHIN. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE A RELIGION, CAN HAVE A REAL EXAMPLE OF DOs & DONTs of life to follow.
SACHIN IS THE MODERN DAY GOD, WHO WILL SIT IN THE MOST EXPENSIVE CARS, IN THE MOST AMAZING ATTIRE & STILL GIVE THAT INNOCENT SMILE WITHOUT ANY AIRS.
Everyday is not our best day, if we give our best shot to atleast one deed that we do in a day, we will achieve more than what we dreamt of.
OH MY GOD, "WHAT AN INSPIRATION, WHAT A MAN"
