THE TOLL PLAZA
THATS ME WEARING A 'RACY RED' T-SHIRT
For the first time in my life I travelled a half an hour journey on the roof of a bus .
By-Shafique
I used to spend hours with it.
Looking & staring at it for hours was a common practice ;
a miraculous joy. I am always glad with it .
Now, after two long days without it,
My buddy had gone for refurbishment .
My Buddy is my.................................... PC (rather "Internet freak PC") .
"If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth,power and beauty that nature can bestow - in some parts a very paradise on earth - I should point to India ."
so it was independence day again...
the 61st aniversary of our freedom from british rule....
but what actually is freedom....?
this poem by Rabindranath Tagore clarifies wat it is ?
FREEDOM
Freedom from fear is the freedom
I claim for you my motherland!
Freedom from the burden of the ages,
bending your head,breaking your back,
blinding your eyes to the beckoningcall of the future;
Freedom from the shackles of slumber wherewith
you fasten yourself in night's stillness,
mistrusting the star that speaks of truth's adventurous paths;
freedom from the anarchy of destiny
whole sails are weakly yielded to the blind uncertain winds,
and the helm to a hand ever rigid and cold as death.
Freedom from the insult of dwelling in a puppet's world,
where movements are started through brainless wires,
repeated through mindless habits,
where figures wait with patience and obedience for the master of show,
to be stirred into a mimicry of life.
-RabindranathTagore
This poem speaks to me of a problem,not only of his motherland India,but all peoples of all times. It's about being locked into the past's way of doing things, afraid to change, afraid to break out of the mould into the light of Truth.We all have this problem, and Tagore has concisely and sublimely summed it up.
back to independence day........>>>
Today we come together,
well a day significant for indians all over the globe...
i think its time,something has to be done abt it...
well talkin abt Youngistaanis...!!!
the YOUTHS..!!!
v r supposed to b the leaders of tomorrow... [ i was the captain of my school football team :)]
as rightly said,
"The Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity"
Benjamin Disraeli
our freedom was won with great struggle and sacrifice after centuries of servitude to foreign rule.Its important that those of us who belong to the post - independence generation should not take our freedom for granted.
did freedom fighters fought for this india.......????
nobody at that time wud have ever wondered that our united, peace loving country will turn up this way.
v youths believe we are free now and we demand our rights........
duties come along with rights.......
FREEDOM IS NOT FREE,IT COMES WITH A HUGE PRICE TAG.HOW MUCH HAVE YOU PAID FOR IT........?
wat we all do is sit in front of tv and curse the present government and say " indya ka kuch nahi hoga.... " (nothings gonna change here)
did anyone of us ever think of changing the system?
" NO"
most of us call politics a "dirty game", with politicians fighting around for power.actualy politics aint dirty........it is us who's making it dirty.its on us to decide whom v want to elect.
YES YOU !!!! (face it )
so v need to clean out this dirt .
well how is somethings gonna change until and unless wetake a step ahead and fight for whats right and whats wrong....
India has the biggest democracy in the world..........
which means
"FOR THE PEOPLE,BY THE PEOPLE AND TO THE PEOPLE........"
The constitution gives us a right to vote as soon as we turn 18, i.e., once we become sensible and independent(?) and start deciding what is right and what is not. We can elect the desired candidate.
On the top of it , there are youngsters who doesnt seem to care which way our country is heading to.All they care about is the new flicks,orkut,mobiles,gadgets,clothes,bikes,cars,music and what not. Ask them what our country needs right now and they reply who gives a damn what india needs i m going to settle down in the US (the land of "opportunity" & "terrorism") or abraod & earn big bucks (thats what happiness means to them) and won't come back again in this "dirty useless place".
On the other side.....there are youngsters who show their interest and are really doing their fabulous job in their own fields. some young ppl are working for the good of the country at the grassroots level like there are many who join NGO’s, rallies or help the needy there are youths like Milind Deora ,Rahul Gandhi ,Sachin Pilot, Sindhya etc who r making there presence felt.the youths must urge to change the system ,thats the way this country gonna write its own script .lets hope for a brighter tomorrow and not just hope but work for abetter tomorrow (n a better today " which might b like expecting too much " huh!!!)...

Today, bollywood added one more flick to its copycat list. As expected the movie is a remake of hollywood blockbuster of 2003 "Bruce Almighty".
The big b part ws originally played by Morgan Freeman,Sallu by jim Carrey & Pyiyanka by Jennifer Aniston. Its a kind of pity for bollywood (ye nahi sudhrenge) . Afzal Khan really showed nuisance onscreen for 3 long hours .Its a torture sitting in theatre n watching this one.
Nagesh Kukunoor once in a award function said that v are a country of 100 million people n v can not even bring a genuine story out of us.This really is sad .huh!!! when this bollywood gonna grow up & make some genuine movies .Even the posters resemble themselves .........shame
i condemn that.

The 15Th of august : the independence day has not been treated more than a holiday ,nowadays .Many people don't treat it as a national festival/occasion;
same is the case with me.For me its a day to have an appetite of laddooss (moti choor) .
My relatives r teachers so i get this treat . The day is nothing more than a holiday for me too.
It has only brought me a day to rest my striving body.
One can hear the chanting of patriotic songs from the roadside, the school kids enjoying themselves while commuting their ways, the tv channels playing patriotic movie stuff , plus the news channel anchors having special dresses to wear & a tri-color mono to flaunt their ruthless feelings.
The day is of less importance to the youth . The implication lies behind a simple logic that the youth were born ed in the country when it had already achieved freedom ; so it is less meaningful to them . Sometimes, one doesn't know the importance of things which one has unless one looses them . Apart from this there are many reasons behind it.But after all the odd aspects, there are feelings irresistible about this day. the feeling when i get up in the morning ,the essence in the air,the gratitude towards the freedom fighters& all.But as a matter of fact for me as a school boy now to a college hunk the day has lost its grandness . Hitherto,by gods grace at least it has not lost its moral value for me...
the riots & terrorist attacks,
the joke of democracy,
its time to leave the comfort zone,

when all the yesterdays mistakes would wash-out;
when the frustration would convert into joy;
i guess my time would come in life ;
where all the agony will change into ecstasy,
where i would lead myself ,
where there would be nobody to follow,
someway or the other,
i guess my path would come in life;
where there's no compulsion but destiny;
where there's no disgrace but honor;
where there's no ambition but top;
i guess my place would come in life;
someday or the other ,
there won't be any time,there won't be any air,
there won't be any heartbeat ,
someday or the other i will rest in peace,no movement ,
no motion but only my soul will prevail;
that would be my destiny,surely my time,my path & my place would come ,
but not in life but after.....
