Enough!!!

ENOUGH!!! YES ENOUGH!!! 1204 miles away from my homeland and the city I belong to, my thoughts are getting filled with anger and concern for what is happening back home.

Right from the series of bomb blasts in Bangalore, Gujarat, Delhi, and now in Assam to Raj Thackeray’s so called “MOVEMENT” with his party MNS, and not to forget all the after effects including riots, shootouts and killing of innocent people. The common man is once again being sucked into the vortex of dirty, colored and power hungry politics.

The elections are close and every political party wants to prove a point / make a statement. They will do what ever it takes to bring each other down.

As a common man I think and think over and over again, I try to find an answer and know what is going on? How can this be stopped?

Every time I talk to some one about this trying to seek and answer I get the same reply “kya kar sakte hai” (what can we do).

No matter how much you talk about all this no matter how many movies, songs, articles and speeches are done to create awareness the mind set does not change.

I believe that at this stage if any one can make a difference it is us, yes us the common people the youth. We need to get involved, have to take a step ahead and make a firm stand.

I don’t blame politics completely for what has happened, but I also feel that the common man has failed in a lot of ways.

As Indians we learn to adjust to everything and take everything for granted. The shackles need to be broken; the mindset needs to be changed!!!

I know sitting here talking/writing about all this may be rather easy, and to be frank I don’t know if I have ever personally contributed or done something to make a difference. But I have promised myself that all this will never be forgotten by me, and one day no matter how but I will do what ever in my power to contribute to the change!!

I make this promise to myself today!!

“I dedicate this article to all the innocent life’s lost, may your souls rest in peace!! But your loss will not be forgotten as if it can lay a foundation for the change to come in my heart I am sure it did the same with many others too”
