Incredible India !!! Probably in relative term

More or the less every individual might have heard these promotion about India, yes "Incredible India". When you see it you feel good about it, even i am. Since my childhood days i learnt to praise my country, i was told to love every aspect of it, and i was doing it religiously, and i am doing it even now. But as i grow i see people, i travel across the state, sometime across the country. When i did its always a comparison that flashed in my backend brain. When i was there US, i saw people excited about the country, the places, the people, road even cars. We sometime don't mind to take a snap in front of a Hummer parked somewhere in a desolate place, and put it on a networking site. But when i see all of these the basic question that comes to my mind is can't the same thing be implemented in India. So these continuous feasibility study goes on and on. I never charmed by the beauty of the foreign country but constant Why and why not puts me in a fix whether to be proud of it or not.

We take pride of inventing Zero, take pride of good at mathematics, land of algebra but when all these happened. Its roughly 300BC. Aryabhatta contributed a lot to mathematics, trigonometry, pi value at 400 BC. India has the biggest and hopefully first university recorded in the history probably 500n BC(Nalanda) before it got ruined by Bakhtiyar Khilji to establish Islam. We have Ayurveda (Indian form of medicine and surgery) probably thousands years back. So whatever we did we did almost hundred generation back. When i just peep back i see nothing
i don't mean ZERO though. Tell me something that i should be proud of in last fifty years. Someone might argue in terms of road, infrastructure, heath care, GDP. Agree. But in relative term we are far behind. Singapore became an independent country in 1965, 18 years after India got independent. Each year china is adding equivalent amount of power generation that India has in total. I am not doing a detail research just to give an idea, if you look with in we look good. We are proud of unity among diversity, we feel good about so many colleges around, we feel good
about our largest military troop, we are good about so many things when we don't compare. That's why it's Incredible. The moment you peep out of window and see all around we tend to loose the confidence. That's why Einstein told nothing is absolute. In this relative universe i don't find much reason to celebrate "Incredible India".

I wish my India where the Kids can go to Govt schools without the fear of the quality of education which might justify "Right to education" in true sense, i want my country where we can have our indigenous fighter plane, no one will die on road without medical attendance, judicial system should be strong enough to screw a powerful person, no one should die out of hunger, country can able to accommodate dozens of "CWG" or even Olympics without preparation, i want a national football team that represent country in football world cup, i want where there is no corruption at all, i want a country where politician fight for country not for mere politics. I know i am day dreaming.

I really never thought i will put Mr. Salman khan's note in my blog. but it was so thoughtful lines worth being mentioned on India

“What’s India? Nation where Pizza reaches home faster than an Ambulance & Police, where you get Car Loan @ 5 percent but Education Loan @ 12 percent, where Rice is Rs 40 but Sim card is free, where people worship Goddess Durga but want to kill their girl child?,” Further he added “Olympic shooter wins gold, Govt gives 3 crores. Another shooter dies fighting with terrorist, Govt pays 1 lakh. Really, Incredible India!”


In spite of all i am still optimistic about my country. Wonder where it is coming from. oh it's independence day, that's why. Happy Independence day to all of you in a thought it is going to change sooner.

Cheers

Friends

Lets not define the term "friendship". It bears its own definition depending on the individual and the context. But one thing for sure, irrespecitve of the individual opinion everybody will agree to the point its Sweet. It gives more than it demand. This relation is not a blood relation yet more than that. I sometime wonder about the person who invented the term 'Friends', i mean define the relationship in a sweet word. Why at all we have friends or we make it? If i think again and again on it i feel this might be the reason "as we are spending lot of our time outside be it school, work or anything for that matter, we meet more with non-family member on day-to-day basis for a substantial amount of time". It is such a relation you dont need a cerificate, dont need to solemnise as friends yet it happens.

They say if u have one real friend in your life assume it as a accomplished life. I don't know how to differentiate between a normal friend, true friend, real friend. But i know they are there when i need them, they are there when i want to laugh with them and they are there when i am at my lowest point as well. They dont say it. There silence does the speaking. So lets drop the adjective before it, it's just FRIEND. I have few of them, definitely more than one, and in true sense i can say its a pleasing experience. Even though Chanakya says there is no friendship without self interest, its absolutely fine for friends. They don't mind being used and vice versa.

I thought i could write so many things here, but when i think about them i travel back to the past, recollecting the wonderful time i have spent with them, and my finger stops moving on the keyboard. Few lines almost took a week but even then i hardly written anything about them. So lets not write any specific name or event those were engraved in bold in the brain cell, just thanking them to be part of my life, making it a complete one. I wish i could tell each of them what i feel about them, how much i love them. Words and distance both are playing the spoil sports.

But one secret, i enjoyed writing this article a lot as dont remember how many times i went to flashback. This one helped me in blowing the dust layer over certain incidents those i have almost forgotten.

Love you all.
Happy Belated F'ship day.
