I don’t have any title for this post. There are so many things going on in my mind nowadays, that dedicating my post to any one of them would be an injustice to the others and I also cant write about them one by one as I’ll be less on motivation to write on them as the time passes. So here are few thoughts occupying my mind space from last few days:
First one of course is Ayodhya verdict. Do I even care about it? No. Am I going to ever visit that place (unless accompanying my parents)? No. But still it made me nervous for good(?) 2-3 days. The reason behind that is same as that of any common Indian. Whole time I was praying to the poster of Lord Rama (and I’m content with that fragile poster of Him on my wall) that please give good senses to all the “concerned” parties. Those horror stories of that bloody ’92-‘93 winter are enough for us. And see, He listened to me and many more who wanted peace. Who wanted to move on. Who have more concerning issues in their life than a religious structure. Who are trying day in and day out for the betterment of their families and themselves. Who want to do their little bit to lift those 55% (according to the latest UN report) out of poverty. Who want to contribute in their own way to this great country. Who don’t want to hurt the 8% growth story. And finally, those who don’t want street violence by fanatics ignorant of the teachings of the religion they claim to champion the cause of. Thankfully, this is new India. A matured India.
One other God is also blessing everyone. Sachin helped India decimating the Aussies!! Giving Ponting a punch on his face. An achievement to celebrate. More so for people like me who watched 3-0 whitewash in ’99-00. But as I said, its new India. Everywhere.
CWG. Ah.. Well it was one thing I was waiting for from last so many years. More so after watching the Beijing 2008. But it seems that there are still some crooks that we need to deal with to make our Country a true superpower. Though the opening ceremony helped in soothing the unease but still we’ll not forget your contribution Mr K. And finally, stupendous show by the Indian sportspersons came as an elixir of relief. Looking at the dismal infrastructure of our country, they must really be a motivated lot to play for their country. They are the actual celebrities. Coming against all the odds and winning all over! Bravo!! Kudos!!
Then Bigb got national award for his performance in Paa. Whenever I think that maybe this is his best performance, he proves me wrong by coming up with another one! Waiting for many more riveting ones in the future. And there are murmurs that Aamir bhai is going to start reading scripts from November:)
And finally, its festival time!! Going home for a week for Diwali. Its after 4.5 months that I’m going home. Diwali has always been one of the favorite festivals but this Diwali is really special. Very special☺
