A tryst with the destiny

actually this title is taken from a speech made by Pt. Nehru, was made on the eve of India's independence, towards midnight on 14 August 1947. But the issue here is not that we are going to independent but here we are independent and what is the reality of independence Pt. Nehru talked about "To bring freedom and opportunity to the common man, to the peasants and workers of India; to fight and end poverty and ignorance and disease; to build up a prosperous, democratic and progressive nation, and to create social, economic and political institutions which will ensure justice and fullness of life to every man and woman" i have a question that, from last 63 years where we are ? i feel that we traveled distance but displaced zero towards what ever spoken by Pt Nehru or it was a effort just to grab some attention of the media, if it was not than what he has percolated his vision to the citizen of this country or it is just a responsibility of the some set of people those in the government to show vision and nothing else what about your vision your trust for the citizen what about there trust for there leader.
I have fortunate tryst with some people who belong to the state which is categorized as Uttar Pradesh(U.P.) the journey was started from Anand Vihar ISBT ,because me and my three other friend those, dared to visit U.P. for marriage and couldn't got in to sleeper class bogi because there wasn't enough space to breath so we planned to go by bus some how we got a man he assured that he will take us to Lucknow, and bus will start around 11 pm but from 10:30 pm to till the night 1 am. There were n number of agents belong to the owner of that bus, were trying to fill the bus, not a single seat should left so when the bus was packed around with 61 passengers, the owner comes and checked the tickets, no seat number was allotted and there were five different type of receipts was floated among the passengers, each receipt said some XYZ travels without address and only amount. That was just formal way of some psychological satisfaction to the passenger and to show that, we are not kinda third class bus service. Bus was filled than the owner counted almost five times, it was like that first time he got this much passengers and how the two drivers had driven the bus, was like 99% probability that we were in our last roller coaster ride. In the morning driver said "how can put passengers life on danger that's why it is getting late to reach Lucknow". i couldn't under stand "to bring freedom and opportunity to the common man" who are common men or the driver! or the passenger! or the owner! and where is freedom? and where is opportunity?

Further more before reaching to Lucknow just half a kilometer the gear shift was arrested under the jam he even didn't apologize and said what else i can do., we walked for half KM and we got a city bus there was no traffic signal and some of those were ,they were crying that why they are there. first time i felt like that, i am stuck in Afghanistan , were as i have not been there in Afghanistan but i can feel such, and included that i have lost my passport there. I observed only two kind of feeling on the most of the faces there, one the human was scared of getting cheated by next human, second one was any human was ready to cheat next one. no third feeling i observed. Next Pt Nehru has said to fight and end poverty actually people has concentrated on the first part to fight among them to make rich them selves individually, with respect to the other human next to him.

I must ask who are u Pt. Nehru, are you entirely different from the common man and what is the definition of common man the man who is not in politics or who is not a freedom fighter or who is not born in a political leader or in royal dynasty.

Politicians are just bolvachan kind of people, they never mean what they say. Just lucrative talkers. Born in 'certified pain inducing conditions' of this country everyone thinks like he's a common man when under some stress or pain. Think if you had travelled by flight then the definition of common man would have been changed. This probabilistic thinking is the only generous gift to everyone from the so-called nation builders!!

based on my own assumptions there are two certainities.....first one is that this world (universe,cosmos,existence..anything) works by its own rule which humans can unerstand, atleast upto a ceratain degree[this capability of "realising" this rule is the differentiating factor between them n animals....this obviously follows dat who don't understand or even strive to unerstand r as good(or bad) as animals].....
secondly there is justice in this world.....if nebody thinks dat dey dont deserve hardships, d pain, d suffering d r committing d crime of overestimating themselves...ur candidature is established much b4 d results r awarded....

talking abt d journey n d common man.....i think some 200 years ago d most aristocratic of indians wud have suffered much more hardships than u common ppl did on 28-jun-2010 for d same journey....instead of cribbing for more than what society offers us we can b thankful for whatever we get....bcoz if left to ourselves most of us cannot even manage a glass of clean water

coming to politicians i dont think dey r responsible for the misery of ppl.....democracy can b very dangerous if followed by idiots...around 5 crore ppl(out of a staggering 1.2 billion) r graduates in india....i dont consider only literates to b very smart or intelligent....rest 1.15 billion(good for nothing,bunch of idiots...common man) r the ones deciding d fate of this country bcoz dey obviously have d majority(of numbers).....d biggest(i mean d smallest) minority in dis country comprises of ppl who can look at things as dey r.....

politicians of country r d mirror images of d ppl of d country....our politicians r corrupt,lazy,fools,irresponsible...bcoz d ppl r ...irresponsible,fools,lazy,corrupt(just for sake of comfortable read)ing

Where we are after 63yrs of freedom……..Are we independent in actual meaning?
Still we are following everything (admin system, law, constitution, education….u can extend the list) which had been framed for Britishers betterment to rule British India.
Freedom means Transfer of power, rulers changed, system?
SYSTEM NEED TO BE CHANGED
Preamble of Indian constitution consist heavy but meaningful words like-sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republican, justice, liberty, equality, fraternity etc
All PM (President, CM….) must have recited these words, how many of them apply through works it’s depend on personality whether he/she is a truly leader who leads common people of country or he or she is just a politician who plays purely politics only………
INDIA NEEDS LEADERS
Everyday thousands (may b more)of people are facing trouble while dealing with govt. and even non govt. sector. All of we are aware of our fundamental rights how many of us are aware of our duties? Misuse of rights or neglecting duties by anybody affects another ones right directly or indirectly……….
PEOPLE WORD SHOULD BE SUBSTITUTED WITH WORD CITIZEN.
All these things are interrelated until it changes nothing is going to change:
