Anna - I am with you

I think it is high time that I speak, it has been months that Anna has been talking, fasting and campaigning about it. Well considering the past events that he has campaigned for he is used to this long duration of 10 - 12 days of fast.

As of now I am sitting in front of TV, not done anything what so ever to show my opinion except for putting a comment on fb! well that also does get counted you know! There was an article next day on Times of India showing contribution of online interest levels through social network.

First of all we should ask Aruna Roy to shut up.. she is giving an interview on NDTV India right now. Anyways coming back to my topic. I spoke to my dad about Anna Hazare recently and he told me about Anna's model village and how it is visited and appreciated by all. He had visited it when he was in army when i must be 3 yrs old! And i wondered that long back he was doing good work and since then he has been continuing.

You know people like this are rare and not often courageous enough to initiate or question the empire, that's when I joined the dots & I felt this person is right and truthful. Have we ever thought how widespread is corruption in our country and could anything ANYTHING be questioned here? Well I appreciate him for all that he has done (check Wikipedia links for his history). He might not be the best soldier or people might question him when he apparently handled liquour issue or punishing drunkards in his village but the baseline remains:

1. He questions wrong irrespective of the circumstances

2. He has impacted the basic hygenie factors and improved for better e.g. health, education, agriculture, social issues (atleast in his village to build it as a model village to show it can be worked out! it has been visited by lakhs of people over 6 yrs) and now corruption at an all india level.

3. He might agree with Shiv Sena (extremist in Maharashtra) but only because they have actually done a lot for downtrodden.

Why do some of us question his means of asking, it is about asking in the end right? It is about awakening and question and starting an initiative which had been blanketed for years. If his method brings back the fire to bring revolution (whichever form of sensible Lokpal) then he is not doing any wrong (take that ,Aruna Roy or other MPs)

What we all are following is right and we should provide support during this time when government is trying all tactics to bring them down or break them. They think the revolution might be a fashion fever and will simmer with time or when holidays and week off get over.. No I say and I say what ever be possible.... be with Anna. Let us argue and question this bill and implement it.

I would end my thoughts with the last trigger..... All this is just a start but hasn't corruption gone to our bones? It will be a success for our kids if we follow it through like a habit after implementation! Pledge not just for Anna or Aruna or any other revolutionary but the Idea of Truth.

Cheers,

I am back to watching Dirty Dancing now :)
