Leader

A dream is not what you see in your sleep.......
A dream is something that doesn’t allow you to sleep!!

This is my first reaction to the movie I have longed to watch for more than a month....LEADER!!

Hope for a better future being the central theme of the movie, the story revolves around a young man destined to become the chief minister of a state. This young man is portrayed as a dynamic, virile and smart individual who was inspired by his mother to stand up for those who entrusted him with that power, to support those who depended upon him,......As she aptly puts it..........

“Prajalu chachipotunnaru raa.......rajakiyanetala meeda nammakam ledu raa...... vallaki china hope ni ivva ra!!”

Translation: People are dying, they have lost hope on all the politicians; what they need is a small hope!!

India proudly produces world’s finest engineers, doctors, managers and other highly qualified intellectuals, yet we remain as a developing country with more than 60% of the population living in the BPL (below poverty line).Change.... a small change is what we need....but there is no one out there to actually do it. This is because we are afraid....afraid to dream of doing something good and beneficial to a community. What we lack is not the availability of resources, we lack courage!! –courage to rise against oppression....... Courage is not the absence of fear; it’s the understanding that something else is more important than fear. Quoting Rabindranath Tagore “where the mind is without fear and the head is held high- into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.” - it’s time we clear the mess created by our forefathers viz., corruption, inequality, casteism, crime against children and women,.......it is time that we be the voice of the voiceless!!

It is time we make a small difference........!!

the long lost diary!

As the leaves of my long abandoned personal diary ruffled, the memories of foregone times incited me to write this relentless monologue……………...

Jan 1^st 2008, the first year of a yet to be realized tedious journey called “engineering”, I was greatly excited to discover the pervasiveness of technology and forge ahead to explore the unexplored areas…What with the 21^st century Einstein image I carried probably throughout my freshman year, I had an inner urge to try out something different, new and naïve.…….

Two years since, Jan 1^st 2010, Wisdom dawned on my ever fluttering mind and after a series of scary examinations, obscure lectures, endless assignments; my diary when opened shows just one thing: blank white sheets!!

It just means two things; either I am extremely busy to fill in my diary or I am vexed up altogether. As the former doesn’t sound appropriate, I will reassert the latter. Hence I just thought of making some changes here and there to get in touch with my old usual self and thus started afresh with my blog. I hope I fill this regularly………………..

PS: well if you are the ‘hey dude’, ’wassup?’ sort of a person you might not find anything worthwhile, as my reflections are from deep within…………………..they surely lack a bit of humour.
