Rendezvous’
Hiiiiii all!!!
I think I have become an addict to my blog coz I feel I need 2 write everyday…anyways lets get back ,Today will be writing about a rendezvous with a great person..........
Any guesses who???? Okk let’s cut out the suspense, the entire day today I had a Rendezvous with none other then the Father of the Nation “MAHATMA GANDHI”.....
Not that am a massive fan of his or anything of that sort it’s just that I have an entire subject for my master’s exam on Gandhi..Personally talking am not at all a Gandhian person, but there’s something striking about the person..Frankly speaking am a complete supporter of Tilak and his ways , but somehow am quite surprised about Gandhi being a man who’s simple in thought an expression is responsible for making our country independent ,his concepts and funda’s were different from all , but what makes me think is that had he been alive today am sure he would be applaud at the scenario India’s facing right from reservation to communalism to regionalism to terrorism to IPL he would have just wondered and said I strived to get this country independent my efforts were in vain??
Really it just gets me thinking how many of us would go the Gandhian way to get things how many of us still believe in truth and non violence. Gawd had it Gandhi been alive and seen me and my non violence he would have really changed his concepts (hehehe ) ,but jokes apart the man had guts he had guts to do everything in his way to get the country free, to bring about the upliftment of the society and people at large. Again do we even really appreciate? What‘s with us today’s Gen X, has a different attitude all linked up with the corporate world? Frankly how many of us would carry out a Satyagraha for some injustice done to us or anyone else? How many of us would want to wear khadi or carry out spinning as our profession?? Sound’s impossible doesn’t it? But it was Gandhi who did the impossible..Gandhi though born in a traditional Vaishnav family, man with great modern thoughts, believer in Satya N Ahimsa, communal harmony?? My my how did he just do it.. Now I really need to learn the perseverance he had…actually we all need too..Isn’t it? He had this hatke view of almost everything from Hindu –Muslim unity to untouchability wow!!! Hardly anyone of us could have this kind of point of view?
But then I think, somewhere down the lane we have let him down, for all that we think we do, actually there are hardly people who follow him and his concepts and believe in his philosophy ,may be because its not possible with the situation around us. But why don’t we try making a difference in small ways ………..may be we can all begin with a small start…y don't we start with family n friends itself???
i think now my family n friends are going to see some changes in me in small ways..
plzzzz gharwalo n dosto dunn be surprised by the change….it’s still the same devilish meeee…..
It’s time to go….before going something which Gandhi said in regard to communal harmony; he says
“ to restore normal life the least one can do is be wholly truthful & non-violent. Then one will fear no one but God. Such are the men of courage. All parties will make friends with them and even goondas will shed their goondaism before them”….
Impressive isn’t it!!! So see u all next time with something new….till then.............. Auf Wiedersehen!!
