..........cong. govt in maharashtra does a shiv sena act, by making Reading/Writing/Speaking marathi a must for the taxi drivers...a student commits suicide in AP over Telangana issue...moonstar tells me about BT Cotton, chemical'ized brinjals...doc gives me a docu. film on Plachimada struggle against Coke.......
...do we care about all this...wat do WE, the youth of this nation, have to do with all these 'social' ailments...we're onli concerned about the B-schools, the salary packages, international placements, more of hard rock cafes, better alcohol brands and more of reality shows!
lets leave all dis...'social work' to d ngos and the changemakers...!!
hmmmm....why do a few outta us have to give the whole of their time to make things better for all of us...why dont all of us collectively put in a small portion of our time & resources for something that's gonna benefit all of us back!
maybe we dont care enough...maybe we arent dat far-sighted enough...maybe we just dont have enough time...maybe its not dat coool a thing to do!!...maybe we think it wont make any difference........
.......maybe we just wanna sleep...! coz dats wat we're best at !!

Ur post is a challenge to answer ! Still.. I shall volunteer my tongue...
Y do we sleep ? Because we dint see the change happening. We don't have many real life success stories to look into for inspiration.
Yes ..its a mass slumber. Damage surely has been done..many a places permanent and irreversible.
Hope? Yes ofcourse.. there is so much Good around ...even today ...! The poor hungry man on the road side... just Begs..he doesn't snatches our food..!
No one punctures by bike for no reason.. no one pushes be on road when im walking down ...! There is so much chaos ..but most of us need no reason to be good. Good anyday is prevailing over bad...!
But yes...most of us are sleeping,while the very spine of ours is getting eaten by termites...!
Its not that its too late ..or any action in future would be too late..that it wont be of any use..but yes ..this surely is the time...if not to jump into teh battle straight ...then atleast it the time to choose our weapons for the battle and prepare for it !
And i so very agree...'MASSES' r needed...even if they come ahead in their individual capacities...!
we ourselves have seen in recent past ..how almost impossible tasks were completed within a matter of some time... just because we had more enlightened people !

Hey Preet! Please don't feel sad or lose hope. People like you are a source of inspiration and hope for many others like me. Isn't that significant/good enough? I had almost lost hope arnd 3-4 years ago and was also thinking that nothing can be done! But then i saw what Gaurav and others in your group have done or are doing..that gave me a lot of hope...now i feel that ofcourse everything can be done..and i can also be a part of it...ofcourse we would have to take one step at a time...
so keep doing what u'v been doing and i am sure unknowingly you'll end up inspiring many others like me...and i think that is the solution to the whole problem..isn't it?
