VOTE - Change INDIA and OUR future

I am writing this blog just after I have voted.I feel happy that I have encouraged two of my friends to vote who were non-voters till date.

To other non-voters : If you feel that your voices and issues are never paid attention to, this is the time to make an impact,a minute's decision of yours can change the surroundings around you.But , if you are not voting just as to spend a holiday, then you are making a fool of yourself.No impact so large can be done within such a short span of time.So please vote.Even if you think everyone is non-deserving, vote for the least non-deserving.Whoever you want to vote for, just vote........Because only people like you and me can change things around us... vote and make us the cause of that change.

To the voters : keep it up !! people like us are trying their best to change ourselves and change socio-economic-political condition of our county....vote and change India and our future.........

Thanks for reading.........

Is politics a profession ? or something more than that ?

    According to Oxford English Dictionary 'professions' involve the application of specialised knowledge of a subject, field, or science. So in that case we can definitely say that there are a handful of politicians who knows what good governance is all about. Even it's difficult to find any election without the involvement of hooligans.

     'Politics' to me is more than mere profession. It is more of a responsibility of the the entire populace who are voting and even not voting for a particular politician. An MP or an MLA etc earn a lot of money and enjoy various perks but do they do justice to their 'profession' ? ..Should there be an annual review on the performance of a particular MP or MLA and should that be published in the newspapers ?? ..Like people in every profession go through a year end review  of his/her performance, the values that he/she has added to his organization and also to himself and he/she is rated accordingly.. the responsible ministers should also have a year end review. People must know how successfully has the candidate performed his duties, which responsibilities he/she has failed to shoulder, what are his future goals and objectives etc.These would also have an effect on the politician's next elections.This may in turn help ( or even force ) him to perform better.

    

     On our part, when we are electing a particular person, we must be sure that he has that requisite 'skills' and knowledge to govern . My views may differ from others' but I must say that I would like to vote for a person who comes into politics not just to enjoy the tax-payer's money but who feels an urge inside him/her to better the society. 

ARE WE INDEPENDENT ...

What does FREEDOM mean to us?
Do we really celebrate it ?
Or pass it like a single day fuss..
Do we know our hero's name
Who has given Indians
A lot of pride and fame...

Even after sixty years
Have we wiped the billion tears ?
Who live with such pain
To make us think of
Our Independence again !

So what does freedom really mean
Is it the celebration of
Every Indian's dream ?
Or just as every day and night
15 August takes an ether's flight ;

Has India really awaken
From the dark patch
Of sixty years?
Do the hymns of the greatest men
Really resound in our ears ?
Have we ever in our life
Chanted the words"VANDE MATARAM"
Do we still stand up when we listen to
"JANA GANA MANN"

Are we the people who have
Taken "Things " for granted ?
Are we them who have
Taken Millions of deaths for granted ?
Because many of us have earned
Our freedom free -
And enjoy it like a spree :

But " freedom is our birth right "
And we must celebrate it
With all our might
But in the deepest core of our hearts
Many a question remains unanswered....

How will we contribute to
India's glory and fame ?
How will we make ourselves worth
Our " Indian " name ?
To make India in the truest sense
INDEPENDENT once again !
