Hero Of The Day

What Differs us from being great , what is the special characteristics that differs us from the people we read 'bout in schoolbooks. Was thinking about that for a while.

A Man( Not talking 'bout any gender) is defined by the choice he makes..the course he takes..how many lives he influences..how firmly he stands behind his beliefs. We alienate them as great men ..we count them as exceptions and carry on doing our duties in predefined prescribed manner. Our knowledge sripped of all its significance renders merely as a tool to accumulate money for yourself and more importantly for a few people to become richer. We read the newspapers , not to know about the situation but merely to accumulate some random knowledge necessary for our living.

But standing at crossroad where the path bifurcates (Or Trifurcates) I am just knowing how tough it actually is to follow your own path.

Distraction are rampant. Today's world even gives cheap movie serials and soaps a chance to influence us not to mention other Weapons Of Mass Distraction. Among all the glitz and glamour and a promise of better life we lose track of our life, we have no belief , we have no ideology , we are virtually blind and fed by the mainstream. Everything is alright we presume.

Our dreams are already screwed up. We dream of buying a car , a house and maybe a beautiful wife. Among all these values fed into us our country talks about patriotism, No , given a chance every child of today would like to go to abroad for more money...it is in accordance with the society we are living , even our parents wont object I guess.

It has always been like this, stability takes toll upon its subjects , we are afriad of change. People are here to take away your concerns about stability and continuity.

Rise up and take a stance , for a change and you will see the odds are against you .
The very system you believed in will brand you as a Critic a lunatic or in extreme case a terroist.
When I read newspapers in my childhood I believed every line of it , now I read an incident and ponder what might be ground reality.
In a recent Parliamentary Bill it is proposed that a news article should be scrutinised by the Govt. Authority ('Uncle Bharat' I Guess) before seeing the light of the day. Guess what from now on I'll buy newspapers just to read the comics.
The media houses with a few exceptions have accepted this Bill. What else can they do under the pressure of 'Uncle Bharat'.
The territorial problems , Kashmir problem ,NE problem are not merely exceptions . If you are not happy with urself let me tell you this : ' We , in the truest of terms , literate , employed , upper middle class indians constitute only 7% of our total population'.
Who are the rest ? the ghosts who stay in slums , in impoverished villages , in non-electrified India.
My disillusionment of authority happened in my college, being a student union spokesperson. I would emphasise on this fact : just being educated and being older and experienced to us in no means undrelines the fact that the representatives of authority are great men , coz they are all products of this value system , plagued by greed , powerhunger and more than anything else they love the chair more than their job and they will do everything in their power to retain their control over things.

Racism is present no matter how much we deny its existence and claim that our government is clean . Its not a fault of India alone , even in Communist(?) China the policy makers and the benefactors are predictably Huns.
They say the world is ruled by the Jews , bcoz of their money power and influence.

For some strange reasons after the independence the pre-independent rich were left almost intact, no more as a king of course they just had to fight an election. Congress was considered as a socialist party then - dont know which society they were fighting for.

The power of indian state is its Pseudo-Demcracy as one of my friends said , our friend and or enemy has no face . You are voting for A , me for B . You might claim that B is a honest guy thats why u vote him. But what we sometimes forget these A, B all belong to party X,Y,Z. While after every election these X,Y ,Z 's permutate and combine themselves to form an authority.
In case you vote for the candidate not the party here's a fact:
92% of Independent candidates have lost in recent Loksabha Elections. It states only one thing : Without Backing of a considerable financial power ally , an efficient machinery one cannot win an election.
We are very fond of advertisement , huge cutouts of our beloved heroes , without them , without SMS alerts on candidates , without huge gatherings and flamboyance we are blind and we cannot choose a detergent let alone the candidate.

What Indian state does efficiently is decentralisation of power , which makes it very difficult to find the enemy of people. The friend and enemy disguises itself. Yes we need a total revealation.
With all due respects to the creators of nation , the country's almost 50% people DO NOT care to go to vote. And parties here claim to power. If the issue is not addressed in all aspects of Socio-economic section , if justice cannot be done to the poor, if opportunity and develpoments means nothing to a huge majority of people I am very sad to say : Its no more democracy but a manipulated military occupation.

Heroes has always emerged , heroes have always walked on their path, if a hero is killed his legacy lives on and breeds thousand heroes . The hero of the day is one who makes his own road ..who lives for a bigger goal...........

We all get a chance to be hero...a path is always open .......But can we see it????
