JUST PONDER OVER…

Hi SBCEians

This is just an incident that happened with me when i had undertaken a trip to Thrissur during our Onam holidays.

I was on my way to Aluva from Ernakulam by a KSRTC bus. I had seated myself near the window on a two seater. The seat beside and behind me were vacant. Soon as the bus started from Ernakulam stand, I was joined by three old aged persons in the vacant seats. It is the problem with old aged people that they start their conversation loudly irrespective of the place they are in and the disturbance caused to others b’coz of them. I was cursing my fate that i couldn’t sleep b’coz their loud talk, since I had started my journey at 7.30 in the morning. But as their conversation progressed, I started to take interest in their talk. Soon I discovered that they were actually talking about the dire state of politics in our country. Taking more interest in them, I actually found out many new things that are taking place in our surroundings. They were talking about the common minimum programme of the UPA government, the Singur crisis in West Bengal, the dire state of common man under the Left government in Kerala and they were emphasizing on the schemes which were only for the farmers. Then I got to know that the US government has started putting sanctions on Indian government for reusability of seeds for sowing purpose. This was actually something new to me.

I was completely engrossed in their talk which u people might not be, but I haven’t expressed this incident to bore u people. This has been done to just ask a simple question ” how many of us(younger generation) has really thought about the state our country ? “.Those people, beside me(in bus), are actually at the end of their lives. They do not care for the poor state of the country but, we should. We are actually termed as the future of INDIA. If we don’t, then who would ?. If we just engross ouselves in our study, our development, our money and future, then who would care for the future of INDIA, our country. It has been high time since ‘the old aged’ & ‘the spectacle at the end of nose’ kinda people ruled our country. How much in a day we think about our country when it’s best time to think and come out with solutions. Only becoming engineers & doctors won’t help the country, b’coz this is a root problem & we need to go there.

Don’t take these as lessons. Only those who are interested need to think & if u r really ready, I have a kinda solution(contact me).

Just ponder over.
