Stand Up Speak Up

Democracy is the process by which people choose the man who'll get the blame.

Finally, the elections are back and so are our humble blessings and curses. Its been a routine for us right? Cursing. We curse them before the elections, during the elections and Yah !! even after the elections. But has that made any difference? Has anything actually changed?


To be frank… A lot. A lot has changed. But we fail to accept it. Because we still curse them for the un tarred road in front our home rather than bless them for presenting 100 bicycles for those under privileged students. Curse them for jammed traffic instead of blessing them for waiving farmer loans. Wondering why I'm givin such silly examples? Well for us it may be silly. But for the people at the other end its like boon from the god. But to be guileless they have done much more than that.

Politicians are just like the moon. We appreciate the moon for its beauty and its unique quality of giving us light when the sun isn’t there. But what we fail to recognize is that moon doesn’t has its own light. It just reflects the light it receives from the sun. And so do our politicians. We curse them for all they do but what we fail to recognize here is that they are just reflecting what is at them.

Our job is not to curse these poor people but to find the sun who is the source. Oh k I’m not telling you guys to start an adventure game, find the sun and destroy it. That’s not what I meant but still how long are we gonna blame them. Its time for us to take the responsibility now.

And yah one last thing. Now the latest drift is that our system is gone old. People are saying it needs injection of something called the youth. So, the vibe is that vote the youth and change the system. Don’t worry. That ain’t gonna change much. The result is gonna be pretty much the same. Confused? Lemme explain(weird but true). What would be the result if you change the moon’s inclination with the earth and plant a new one? Absolute chaos.

What I’ve learnt: Its always easy for us to sit and comment on what’s not done. But when we switch places, we would shock ourselves by noticing what has been done. Being a follower we always uncover things that hasn’t been done. But being a leader we always jive for what we have done. Grow up people. Because when you say something hasn’t been done, stand up, be a leader and do it. Then you’ll discover that they still blame you because there is something else that hasn’t been done again.

Something. There’s going to be no end for something. So next time you find something, stop blaming and change it.

P.S.: This elections stand up and change. VOTE. I know it ain’t gonna change anything but lets at least make the start. The day is not that far.

Stand Up Speak Up.

Eat well, Sleep safe. Sayonara

Have a Nice Day [=)]

  5. you think people are horny to criticize?
    Maga after all this criticism n bla bla, India still is the most corrupt country(atleast one in the top 10) but imagine people not criticize but instead hail them for gobbling up most of the money earned by my mother and your mother. how many underprivileged kids have got bicycles? barely 20%(out of 100 crores :O ) Why do you think farmers still commit suicide even after the waiver? is it their hobby? its not reaching them maga. its getting exhausted before it even reaches their state!
    still you ask us to "grow up" n herald them with glossy words?

    criticizing and cursing has changed everything. you cannot expect people not to curse them when they see their hard toiled money going into the kitchens and bathrooms of the politicians. its hardly acceptable.

    i know doing things is difficult. but have the people begged them to lead?! no. they have chosen their paths. when they have come forward to do the change people want the change.
    when people dont get what they need, they shall curse. they have got all the rights, they are no wrong and they are not :not grown up" either.

    but, keep writing maga.
