Lead India

Lead India according to me was a very well thought initiative. Not that I believe that the participants will change the future of my country or that youth will choose politics and community service as its mission from this day; but because we are exposed to many rational views and thoughts.

As Mumbai, is held at ransom by political aspiration of a nobody called Raj Thackray, this show became voice of the people living in cities who unfortunately are not a vote bank. In fact many of them, like me cannot vote as we are born and living in different cities. And that may be one more reason why we abhor regionalism and communalism; hence Nanavati lost to Mishra.

We heard people rationalizing on SEZ, reservations, capital punishments for rape culprits and foreign relations with Nepal and China.

Wave 6: Why India emulates US without considering the population and its Attitude? Just came back from Reliance Fresh, the lines at the cash counter are unusually long as people peep into the computer used for billing to confirm the rates and offers…
Wave 7: Why movie makers experiment so little more? It has been more than a month to a movie hall. :(
Wave 8: Why is there an urge to proliferate?
Wave 9: Why now celebrities are denied vices like smoking also, along with a personal life?
Wave 10: Do you love some one more by tattooing his/her name on your arm?
Wave 11: Why do we only talk about irrigation, when another imperative duty of the rain gods is to save my cricket team from a defeat?
Wave 12: Why marriage is the only time bound relationship? Never heard people saying that I should have had twelve close friends by this age …
