I am human

Well, similar to aspirations and dreams that you nestle, I too have mine. I wish to spend my life smiling and making you smile if that’s humanly possible. John Lennon sang “Imagine”.. I would like to live that life. That’s how I see it, so my friend unless someday I do rob a bank or win a lottery I am not going to be very rich, financially that is to speak. But despite that, I’ll help you smile.

Since, I don’t have realistic dreams and plans; at times I do wish to be involved in things that are of consequence in any little way. I do acknowledge most online forwards because a few of them make me smile. The other reason being, some of them have been mine to pen from scratch. I love writing them, of course now the content I write is a wee bit different, but I will always support happy forwards.

The latest agenda of any importance to me is to speak up for ‘Jai Hind’. It is an honest soul’s endeavor and I wish him luck. It doesn’t take much. But try feeling it. I believe all land and water is a gift to mankind, but if you don’t learn to cherish your land, you’ll never be able to identify with another land. That’s just how I see it, you may disagree. So what has this country given me? I am going to play counter strike now, for and against.

Pollution…A grave situation especially since our count is really high. Everybody says India is polluted, you and me too. There is a solution. Try car pool. Use one car in the family. Stop burdening yourself with loans. You know honestly if more of us used public transport, the government would have to do something about it. But of course we feel a lot more superior to being classified as superior. So I really wish we run out of fuel and instead of sixty something, fuel prices should soar to 500.

Cleanliness…Well a distant dream again…we thrive on takeaways and keep discarding packages on the way. We actually use plastic…hehehehehehe…..we crib about society charges and can identify with swiping plastic at expensive dinners…

Equal opportunity…we think the country isn’t educated but wants the best only for our children… no one cares a damn whether the village rustics get any education at all…

We make issues of caste.. hehehehe.. So actually we’re not human.. We only identify with branding ourselves. We also wouldn’t dress below our dignity..Come all ye designers..I was born to be your patron…

We don’t go for picnics any longer but organize official buffets..one phone to another, from desktop to laptop, from one loan to another…brand equity, …..And we are even recognized as frequent fliers; obviously the job requires it…

We talk about corruption but you wouldn’t join politics.. And we would pay the rickshaw guy extra… We would haggle when caught without a license, we take all liberties to use cell phones when driving, we love shopping at the mall…we have all reached is what we believe…

And I am not even going into discussions about men and women…

Obviously we can’t change everything. But something’s you could…

So honestly my country is beautiful, so I say Dream on… Humankind is selfish. This isn’t my land to destroy. It is my reality to support, conserve and preserve…
