Republic Day Musings

Yet another year, of broken dreams, and unfulfilled promises …
“These politicians…. Blah blah blah”; déjà vu anyone?
True, the scoundrels deserve the blame,
But then, aren’t we also to blame?

Time for a reality check: How many of us care to vote?
How many of us turn(ed) up for the Flag-hoisting?
How many of us raise our voices,
when we see someone being wronged?

Let’s look inward, and do some soul searching,
Forwarding SMSes or wearing ‘Che’ T-shirts is just not enough!
‘Do you then have the answers?’- did I hear someone ask?
Sadly, I don’t! But I do know that we all need to do much more!

‘Coz our great nation deserves much better,
And a billion plus Indians deserve much better!!!
