I dream a dream
A dream so dreamy
Misty in the beginning
Clearer towards the end
I dream of a place
A place I call home
A home for hopes
A home for more dreams
A home far away
But not too far from reality
Because every reality
Comes from a dream
I don't need the dream anymore
Because it already feels so real
And it feels real
Because I'm already home..

New year... New beginning?
Everyone's been saying 2008 has been such an eventful year.I agree.The year started off peacefully and then there were the bomb blasts in different parts of the country,the various accolades we got in sports and then the very disturbing terror attacks in Mumbai .Its a year best forgotten for all the unhappy events that have occured.
The terror attacks have had the most lingering impact on me.For one, it makes me think,what are the leaders of the country doing??To blame them would mean to blame ourselves!!But then thats a fact glaring us in the face.We chose them as leaders.We didn't exercise our right to vote in the right direction.That again brings us to the question,"How do we correct it?"
I can see such a paradox in the scenario of things in our country in the present state.There are IT companies and various other fields where education is such an important thing.Why then do we have leaders who have just completed their elementary education?Why don't we have more learned men/women to lead us?Why have we become so mediocre?
We have "leaders" who talk of "black magic" having been performed against them!!!We have "leaders" who want to blame others for all their mistakes and take credit for things that go well by luck!We don't need "leaders" resigning from their post just because they couldn't handle a situation.Why did they even stand for elections if they didn't have the capacity to go through the whole length? We don't need politicians,we don't need leeches-sucking our money,time and peace.We don't need people telling us when not to party or not to smoke.These are trivial matters when it comes to the horrible attcks our country has been under.
We need people who can tap the true potential of our country to take it to the highest level.We need people who believe in our country.We need people who are willing to make a new beginning and start taking the first step towards glory.We need visionaries.We need people who really care.
This entire post makes me feel like a hypocrite because here I am,sitting cosily in front of my computer,venting my frustration and being critical of our politicians.But then I realise I'm doing the little things which if each one of us practise,can help our country become a better country.I'm not bribing people to get things done,I wear my helmet when I ride my bike,I put the garbage in the bin and not on the road.In doing the small things,I'm ensuring I do the right things when in future I'm faced with much more difficult choices.Like the dialogue in Spiderman,"You always have a choice".
Its in my hand to do everything that I can to take my country to the level I would like to see it.I wish everyone makes this choice.It'll take no time to reach there if we all try :-)
