Deepika and the rest of India I'm sorry if it's the 61st Republic day. The time has come for a second change, the first one was in 1947. This time it won't be freedom( we are blessed to be born with it) but revolution. Economical and Political revolution to be precise.
ReplyDeleteThe last line said it all :) Nice!
ReplyDeleteIt is very sentimental post. I have got very senty. It shows the other face of India.
ReplyDeleteSad part is that it continues to burn..Fell helpless.Governance and leadership deficit and loss of morals leading to corruption are 2 main reasons...Leadership and governance is showing improvement in Bihar and Gujarat...While states like Maharashtra and Karnatake are dying a slow death.
