Movie theatres play National Anthem before showing the movie and people feel awkward and shy to stand and sing.Then comes 26th Jan and 15th Aug and we change our ringtone/caller tunes from the latest songs to some patriotic song...Listen to patriotic songs and sing along...watch 'desh bhakt' movies...buy flags and say..."We are proud to be Indians!"
The next day...the flag which was pampered so much the previous day, lies in a deadly condition on the footpath. People come and go. They see the flag but no one picks it up and takes it along. Our ring tones change as soon as the Great Patriotic day is over.
We again start criticizing our country about lack of opportunities here and dream about our studies/jobs/settling down in abroad. All we do is boast about the economic conditions of India. WHAT ELSE? The city is cleaned few days before the common Wealth...and then? Life comes back to normal...bad roads...powercuts...dirty politics...Anyway...
When it comes to us...Well what are we doing for the country? Okay, we need not join the politics to improve the conditions/bank balance.
- We buy chips...eat and throw the packet on the road even if the dustbins are available. If a person misses the aim, he leaves the packet the way it is,instead of picking it again and throwing it properly. If you cant find a dustbin, keep it with u in your bag...go home and throw it. SIMPLE! I do that! Keeping a wrapper wont add kilos in our bag.
- We open the taps and dont close them. Misuse public property. Check out the buses. Do you spit on the walls of your house?
- College students feel bugged to get up and go to college for the flag hoisting. It happened in my college on 26th Jan. What a shame!
- We dont follow traffic rules. "sab karte hai yaar..." is our patented dialogue.
Still we say...."I am proud to be an Indian." Well yes....you are my dear but India surely isnt proud of you.
