The Country needs you and me

" WORRY is thinking about the worst, HOPE is believing in a better future"

Independent India turns 66 today and while its a great feeling for all of us and we all would be exchanging greetings and would be displaying status's that we are all proud to be Indians, something that does not make sense. 
How can we be proud of something that we have not earned or have had an option of???

I feel great that I am born in India and not anywhere else, as this country gives me advantage of history , culture, resources, democracy and humanity like no other, no matter what any one says.

We all have to participate in the movement they call India

  • VOTE VOTE VOTE: As Ambedkar once said this is the only instrument that truly empowers us and for voting discuss and debate so that you are able to make the right judgement. Lets not vote any jokers back to power again, lets send them back to Italy, Switzerland or whatever.
  • USE INDIAN: Buy Indian made stuff or atleast stuff by Indian companies as much as possible, this gives Indians jobs and the Indian companies profits that is shared  by Indian shareholders. Obviously this would seem like a stupid suggestion but we would rather have the scale to make world buy our stuff rather than we buying their stuff like China or Germany. Psst I am typing this on a Chinese Lap top sadly.
  • PAY TAXES: We build the nation, we have to start saying no to Black Money, no matter how good it seems, its gonna hurt us in the long run as prices would keep going up and we would not be able to catch up at all times.
  • DONATE: As much as possible to as many persons as possible, there is no greater happiness than this. There is just too much poverty all around, not necessarily to organizations but to that labour who is working in your house, that rickshaw puller outside your society and donate not just money but also respect.
  • WORK HARDER: Lets face it, all of us have benefited from India's rapid strides economically and are all overpaid for the work that we do, its time that we work harder to ensure we don't have to change our lifestyles and contribute to India's GDP 
  • GET FIT: We all need to get fit and now, health is the biggest challenge that our generation shall face especially in such times of stress.
  • WATER HARVESTING & SAVING ELECTRICITY if we really think we can live for 20 more years.
  • Using public transport as much as possible, saving fuel, money , time and hassle for everyone
This is our country and its time we give it back, this list is not comprehensive it can never be but hey any start is good.
