THE BLAME GAME

We often come across various ocassions where we are forced to blame the government .

The city is unclean, blame the municipality.It doesnt matter even if the waste was thrown out of your window.

There is corruption everywhere,, why blame the government.?? Stop paying them.

None of us will ever try to stop those men spitting paan on public places,,,unless and untill they spit on your door. And we want the government to keep public places clean!

I have often heard students blame the education system. They say it imposes burden on them.
If an average scoring student takes up engineering in an Indian college only because he got the seat through the caste resevation system, he would end up becoming a useless engineer.

Recently one of my friend (belonging to scheduled caste reservation category) was found criticizing the Indian education system .
Iasked him, " So why dont you reject the seats that you get in an institution because of your caste status. Even the caste reservation is a curse to the indian education system!"

This is what he replied to me

" Will you reject the best college in the city even though you deserve none? If some one asks me to chose between a golden axe and an iron axe , its obvious that i would grab the golden ."

I felt speechless. A few moments ago, he spoke of the faults in education system and now he

regrets from acting against the system!

I could speak nothing . But I managed to reply ,

"Choose the axe that you prefer. But do remember that its the iron axe that ultimately comes handy. "

Its simply easy to blame the government for all the faults in the system.

Afterall its we citizens who elect the government.

We elected them to rule the country, but that doesn't mean we dont have any responsibility towards our country!

Unless and untill we decide and act, nothing's gonna change.

Lets act and try together to convert India into a developed country from a developing nation.

Indian's have always made history, then why remain passive in the present!??

THE WISH UNTOLD

Yesterday while I was cleaning my bookshelf, I came across this poem that I had written during my primary school years. I still remember the excitement and happiness that I went through when my poem got published in the the souvenir of the school. The paper on which the poem was written had become old and torn, the white paper now had yellow shades and the ink had almost faded, but the memories and happiness still remain afresh.
here it goes.......

THE UNTOLD WISH

I wish I was the yellow blossom in your garden,

you would have kissed me every dawn.

Wish I was the dew on the leaflet,

I could have settled on your cheeks as you tickled the leaves.

Wish I could be the cuckoo on the peepal,

I would have sung in harmony with your anklets .

Wish I was one among the rays of the sun,

I could have touched you , see you smile at the dusk time.

I wish I was a strand of your hair,

you would have played with me,

deep engrossed in your thoughts and dreams.


Wishes are many as I stare into your eyes

Wanna tell my wishes to you someday,
Wanna tell you my love someday,
Rather helpless, I apologize,
for mom,
I am only three months old today!
