We all start the new year with a few hopes for ourselves... A few promises to others & sometimes ourselves too... That's all... As soon as the new year week is over... We're all on the same tracks again... No worries... We're like that... Everyone is...
You read the 'Economic Times', and you find out that India is progressing... Oh yes, didn't you know that? Everyone says so... They say our GDP (Whatever that means!) is very close to 8%, they say we're being preferred over China in the US board rooms... We've overcome the Global economic meltdown faster than any of the countries... etc etc etc... Alright...
But aren't we just growing economically? Where is all this growth going? In the hands of the Government? Top 400 CEOs of the country? Is it doing something good for the common man? Isn't it supposed to do good for the common man?
Yes, we are growing... Daily commodities are being sold at rates that look like 6 times the daily wage of a mason or a sweeper... You cannot tell the difference between the number of T-shirts being sold in a shop at Fashion Street and the number of suicides being attempted... People want more and more partitions in the country, new states... Yes... We are definitely growing, aren't we?
Its time we did something new this year... Its time we extend our hands to those who need it... Find someone today...

its been the same story all des years!
5 years back many astrologers,financial experts,scholars,global watch dogs said by 2010 india will be a developed country!
2010 is here, now i hear another magical number "2020", i bet even by then we all be just the same!!!
we talk about competing wid china, but the fact is we lack the will to overtake them specially in politics, it pains to see the commonwealth games preparation in such a doldrum, why cant one politician, i mean only one politician can stand up & say we will put up the best ever Commonwealth games in the history of the world sports & show the world the might & power India posses!!
its high time buddy!
