TAGGED

OK i know this is not in the series of posts that i had planned to unleash upon the blogging world (or whatever these guys are calling themselves these days) but this is cool and someone special tagged me so i am continuing.

This is a new blogger game my friend introduced me to.

RULE 1: People who are tagged must write their answers to the tag and change any question they like.
RULE 2: Tag 3 people and they cannot refuse to do this tag. They must write who tagged them and cannot tag that person again. Continue the game. And I hope it will be sheer fun.

Pretend like i don't know the secret and full on hit on her....I can't be blamed for what i don't know right?

INDIA IS MY VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK. SO it’s been over 5 months since I posted. I won’t apologize as I don’t deserve to. Was being pure lazy all this time. Just could not convert the ideas in my head into meaningful posts. And when I could, I preferred not to. Call it writer’s block. But well I am back. And here to stay. Will update the blog at least twice a week. Mostly Fridays and Tuesdays.


So what to do we begin the reincarnation of my insights with? Well how about someone else’s insight that has caught my fancy and that I really think needs attention?


Bau (Khurshed Batliwala for all the non- AOL folks) put this idea into our heads when he last visited Mumbai. And what an idea ti was, not unlike all the other brilliant stuff he generally comes up with. Bau was taking a YES!+ in dadar and 14th Feb happened to be one of the days in the course. Now you would be pretty socially challenged to not know WHAT the significance of THAT day is. On 13th , in the course, Bau spoke about a special valentine that all of us should keep this year. And I am sure you guessed who me talking about. INDIA!!!!!!!!


I remember exactly what he told. This year, my country is my valentine. Let’s take care of Her like we would take care of a loved one. Give Her all the tender loving care that we shower on our loved ones on this day. And let’s do it all year long. Not just for the day. And trust me, more than anything else, it is our Country that needs us right now. And more than anyone else, it is WE who owe it to our country.


Now many of you will laugh and say it’s a total matter of sour grapes, stupid loser didn’t get a chick that is why compensating with calling India his valentine. But well that is SO not the case here. If you have a little bit of sense please realize that this is NEEDED now. It has come to a point where taking care of our country has become a necessity and not merely an obligation on our part. If you have any doubt about it, then go out of your house and roam around for half an hour. You are sure to find at least 10 people who are spoiling the locality and not more than 1 person who is doing something better for the society. THAT is the kind of sorry state we are in.

So this year, I and a lot of other quite smart people have decided to call India their valentine. Because we really believe we can make a difference. Because we really believe that if we do not start doing this, no one else will. And also because we still believe in the goodness of the people in our country.


Ohh….and in case you are wondering what is the point in just calling your country your valentine, wait for it….there are things that you can do without being called a martyr or freedom fighter. It will not take another freedom struggle and loss of lives to reclaim India to its former glory. All it will take is some alert citizens who have full knowledge of their responsibilities and powers. So what can YOU do to make our country better?....Well that is for the next post….


Do Comment…..Would love to read your views about this….
