This piece is from a paper which I found in one of my old books during my last visit to home.
Scene(should ve been): First floor My home, my table, my book, my sis's pen ..
Year :2000....
World which I never knew
I always knew I was really bad at GK, but surely not an illiterate. But some of the news I read today made me think different. An average Indian feels that India is the only developing country, with all sufferings, corruption, poverty.
Even I was not an exception, I used to feel anywhere other than India would be lot more neat and good place to live in. But then surely some where I knew India was Best and i just love my country... now why and for what I never knew...
It was one of my friend's interest on Che Guevra, which made me serach for it. I was firstly fascinated by his story and his works. the search eventually lead me to those underdeveloped countries, I never thought of .
It was not that Cuba, Burma, Vietnam was new to me , but this face of their history was strange or shock to me.
After which all my Social studies sessions @ school was the most attentive ones... I wanted to know more on it, why people are suffering, why were their ides, views different from ours, the culture.
Those were my junior school days, and I rembr telling my mom, I want to do something to my country, to which she always replied 'huh!!! Yes Ofcourse, ven u grow up, but first concentrate on your studies.....'
I did , now I think I am grown up... But I dunno what I do to my country or rather how I help in all these grievences...Maybe not a big deal I can contribute, but I surely can try from my side that I dont make it worse. It could be from the basics of using the bins or using water and power limitedly. I thnk you do your share and evrything really adds up.
It was actual fun reading this... Such things rarely come to mind nowdays....
ya and Happy New Year all.........
