Hum Hindustani
For me life has been a smooth way , path without much of the hurdles if not a bed of roses before i joined my college........ My college span can be called as my "learning days", a duration of three and a half years where i learnt and experienced more than at eighteen tears i had spent at home.........When at home i was never given any work which could be caterozied as "useful"(in context to future) by others..... i was never asked to deposit my school fees, no solo visits to post offices, banks or any other task which required handling so called important documents....... well if it was not for my papa i would have guessed the reason as my incompetancy in such matters.......
And here i was at Government Passport Office today in lieu of my passport........ i had heard a lot about Government Offices in India.......... And after being at one, none seem to be a myth...... pan spits on the walls which seem to be not whitewashed since the time they were first erected..... doors n rickety furnitures which seemed to be as old as our independence itself.......the solo ceiling fan...... the only which retold the fact apart from ur wrist watch..... that time is on a move even when the queue is not....... the long queues justify the fact about growing Indian population...... the finally the Government officials...... the clan which i suppose contributes to maximum humour in hindi literature...... the experience was something which gave me an insight of true India...........a nation where even after more then 50 golden years of Independence.......people have to wait in long queues to get most services rendered...... half of whom have an access and exposure to the latest in technologies( most of which would have been put in real practice by now according to latest government stats but which cannot be for atleast coming 5 years)......the other half who contribute generously to the development of the same......
They say for such situations " Either move forward n change it or stay where u r n accept it" n to most of us the second option seems to be the right one....... after all "Hum Hindustani hai".
