Independence was also the end of nearly a century of struggle for freedom, battles, betrayals and sacrifices. It also created a situation where we were responsible for ourselves.
But it wasn’t a period of unqualified joy. For a lot of people, in spite of a new era promised by independence, partition was a painful reality and so was the bloodshed that accompanied it. That was 60 years ago. Much has changed; the struggle for freedom lives on in history books and memoirs, and on the tombstones of valiant martyrs. Politics has undergone a personality change from fiery idealism to a pragmatic cynicism. Karma drives the nation on its way forward, and population has crossed the billion mark.

Images during Independence days from 1947 till august 1948(last two showing masses in Delhi on assassination of Mahatma Gandhi):-

Do these words have lost their meaning in todays context and are now part of books only to be taught in closed walls and irrelevant in a practical scenario.

It all started with people protesting Nandigram and Singur issue then came the Gujjar one then Ram Setu ,then Gujjars again and now Amarnath issue and only god next what next.
I rather feel pity on the mind set of the people who blindly follow such self pronounced social workers only in the end harming themselves in the process.
What do we get in the end a committee for hearing of the issue which carry on its work till eternity and when it submit its finding they are again presented before a review panel and this goes on and on and on.
And for all this we lose Crores of Rupee due to delayed rail,road and other transport,damage caused to public means of transport which are been paid by us in form of various taxes,increased inflation due to delay in delivery of goods and non the less these HEADLINES of the next day newspaper issues

At first I thought Blogging as maintaining an online diary but when I saw some of popular persona’s using it as a medium for expressing themselves and hitting it on to their critics and opponents. I did realized the ability of Blogging as a medium supported by the power of an amusing technology the “Internet” which is used by millions and millions are getting onto it daily. It has transferred itself from a technology that was thought of even by the various technical heads of major corporations as one that will not even make it presence felt(Was the case in early days) to being one of the necessity along with daily bread ,air, water & shelter.

Social networking,Search engines,Feeds,Online Storage and of course Blogging has taken the Gen Y by surprise.This Generation has got all it needs through all these technologies virtual world, cool avatars,virtual places to hang out all this and so much more that will take more than GBs of space if one start expressing it.Gone are the days of Watching the Idiot box for hours and of those hours long session of discussions, these days if you have a thought just share it or hang it on a forum and then u can have whole world discussing on your point,that is the beauty of it.

Now technology seems to be everywhere from dawn till dusk,from footstep to 100th floor ,from footpath to those zooming expressways, form Africa till Antarctica, from core to moon, from toilets to boardrooms,from masses till classes,from Zimbabwe till United states, from Equator Till Ionosphere. you have to just name the walk of life u think is aloof of technology and before u can even give it a thought u can find technolgy there.Suddenly there seems no places where one can’t let his or her thoughts wonder, one has suddenly got wings to fly, fins to swim and those scales to crawl.

There lies a world full of opportunities just one needs to extend his hand and can have the sweetest of fruit from the Gardens of Heaven and can even witness Hell’s Fire.

It just remind me of a famous thought by a poet ” Kaun Kehta Hai Asman mein Surakh nahi , EK patthar to tabiyat se uchalo yaaro”

Well that it for the moment, will continue this saga once I give it a more concrete thought.
