A ray of hope?

That was a long hiatus. But anyways, I'm back now. The reason for my absence? Blame it on the laziness,yet again!

Just when we concluded that there is no hope for this country, nothing is going to change, there appeared a silver lining in the form of Anna Hazare. His fast unto death for Jan Lokpal Bill has united the country like never before and turned into an overnight revolution. People from all walks of life, from the length and breadth of the country declared support to his movement and participated in candle light marches held across the country. To an extent, media can be appreciated for drawing the attention of common man to the right cause, at a time when the nation is so caught up in a wild Cricket fever. While it is heartening to see many of the celebrities endorsing the cause, there is a gaping absence of the recent cricket warriors! One wonders why?

I digress.
So what is the reason for this overnight revolution? ...Anna never appealed for mass support!....

It can only mean one thing - everyone is extremely frustrated with the wide spread corruption. Then again, why wait for somebody to take the plunge to declare your frustration and anger? What stopped us from taking the imitative, I wonder. Is it apathy?

I can talk for myself. In my case, it is lack of hope and faith in the administration system. I never believed that the Government can respect a valid cause and fight for it.
If it were to succeed, the Jan Lokpal Bill & Anna would forever change this thinking in many people like me.Anna has successfully ignited a spark in every Indian - a spark of hope! It is now time for us to take it forward and display our solidarity.

- Awake,arise and stop not until the goal is reached.

Well, of late, I have been pursuing something that is really close to my heart. And, thats what kept me away from the next best thing, this blog. Whats so special about today? Well lets just say, my effort has been acknowledged and I feel on top of the world. All thanks to the support and encouragement from the loved ones.

When was the last time you did exactly what you wanted to do, when you wanted to do, despite the usual stresses at office and home? Go pursue your dreams,folks!..chase them now while there is still time.
Go for it!
