Wake Up Youth!


 The youth in India is passing through circumstances never experienced in the history of the nation. Our country boasts of millions of educated youth. The question is how far do they contribute to nation building. Very few people realise how important they are and what their roles are. Service is not reserved only for doctors and soldiers. It can be done by everyone.

Education's primary motive is to make youth realise things and have a vision. As Mahatma Gandhi said " Live as if you were to die tomorrow and Learn as if you were to live forever ". Where education fails to make an impact, the human resource output is reduced. Primary step towards empowering youth is to provide knowledge. Education should be imparted in such a way to encourage them to go beyond classrooms and into the society.

 In a free country like ours, there are lots of choices. In a wider context he choices we make in turn decides the fate of the country. Its easy to lead a life bothering nothing and enjoying. But such a life is meaningless. Responding to the call of the nation should be the vision of every youth in the nation.

We cannot go back and start a new beginning, but we certainly can start today and make a new ending. What we require is a positive attitude and progressive thinking. Of course there will be obstacles and cynical naysayers who pulls us back. But our success depends on whether we are determined followers of dreams, rather than bowing to these naysayers. Now its wake up time for all of us.

Aap ki Revolution

The Aam Aadmi Party has certainly created a wave in Delhi. The Delhi based party now faces the challenge of delivering to the level of a national party from a local party. AAP indeed have swiped the floor with it's broom. The victory is also a reflection of the protest against the current political system. The AAP's journey from mass movement to political office in just one year is without a parallel.

The AAP transited from being a civil society organisation committed to the realisation of the Lokpal to a political party seeking to implement the vision of Lokniti.The manifesto being implemented by the AAP is to get peoples feedback on issues of importance. The new government is a radical deviation from the past. Given the manners in which the AAP has hit other parties, it will need to deliver it's promises quickly. The people have elected the AAP and expect it to get down to governing. Things have gone away for the congress and the BJP took a wise decision in standing down and letting AAP from the government

It also worthwhile, to explore the possibilities of AAP in other states. In a state like Kerala where there are only two main wings, entry of a reform party like AAP will definitely make a change. The time we have to wait is only uncertain.

AAP has redefined politics for the time being. Their efficiency and durability is something that has to be experienced. Meanwhile we can hope for a new dawn and wish AAP good luck in its battle.
