India's Independence Day

Happy Independence Day to all of us Indians today. On this auspicious day I affirm my belief to be fortunate to been born in India. I re-pledge that in my very own small ways I will contribute to make things better in our great country as we have tons of problems. Even dog cleans the place which he uses and we being descendants of a great civilization, we have to justify it by our actions.

Rainy day

It was a rainy day. I was around 14 yrs of age then. I was at home alone and it was raining heavily. I heard the door bell ring. I saw an unknown man of around 45 yrs of age after opening the door. He mentioned my father's name and my uncle's name. My uncle also lives in the same city as us. I let him in thinking he is a family friend.

He sat on sofa and started a chat himself. He complained that some part of the land where my uncle is constructing the house belonged to him. He presented many scary situations like he might call police, will go to court and will call rowdies to scare my uncle etc. I just listened as he would not let me speak. He was not angry. He was talking in calm and normal voice. I felt my uncle has really done some illegal act and I was very scared that something bad might happen to him.

After 25 minutes, the rain stopped. He saw that it is not raining and got up. He said now that rain is stopped he will leave. He mentioned that he came to our house as he did not had umbrella and he did not want to walk in rain.

I was puzzled. I talked to my uncle next day and asked him if he has grabbed any land. He answered negatively. Even after many weeks/months/years there was no police complaint or court case or any rowdy threatening anyone in our family.

Maybe I should have asked stranger's name.

You

you do because I want
you stop because I have to go far
you make yourself small because I want to feel bigger
you suffer because I am in pain
you smile because I am happy
you change before I insist
your gaze soothes my tension
you burn to give me light
when this fantasy will come to life ?

Weather

Since 2003 feeling the hottest weather in Bangalore these days. Temperature is touching 36 deg C these days.

We

Why, ex-thieves and ex-looters during colonization, hypocrite western countries still have the stomach to take India for granted? 


Answer is simple, until we create our own identity, respect our own languages over rotten un-scientific english ,become a civilization with spine, make the best of our own culture rather than blindly following gutterish western culture and feeling good about doing what white skins do , till then we will always be considered as followers with no mind rather than a leader.
