Reflections on past year

Sitting down alone in my room..well actually in my house..at 11:30 in the night ,eagerly waiting for this year to pass , all set to welcome yet another year in my life , i started feeling lonely actually a bit homesick. Started giving a thought as to how quickly this year 2009 passed. All frustrated with the thought of being alone with nobody to celebrate the incoming year( sounds like a mobile call) , i figured what better to do then to write one more post in this never ending sphere of blogging.

Each year like most other people i start with a set of resolutions , resolutions to take myself a step further towards success , towards being a better human. 2009 was no different. And like every other year at the end of the year i realise that none of which have come true. Well with a strong heart and mind i again figure out a set of resolutions for the coming year. This is life. You never stop , always keep trying. Eventually who knows when resolutions may finally take shape. Well this was all philosophical , well at times i do try to get philosophical too. This is one quality in me that shows itself only when i am lonely. I feel i am the most gyaani person alive.

Well the past year have produced many breaking events , have brought fortune to many while bringing misfortune to others. I am contended to be in a place where i haven't gained anything but more importantly haven't lost anything either. I joined a job which i wanted to , have started to live on my own. However among all this i have lost much. Well this year gave me my last day of college , the place where i spent 4 beautiful years of my life. A day i would never forget. Its true - it was my alma-mater. Leaving the friends who stood by you through thick and thin was not easy. The night-outs , bunking lectures , playing in hostel corridor , having long useless chat sessions , the matches that we saw together in common room, the birthday bumps , job treats , ragging , group studies , last night stand for exams...ya i miss all of them. Well to be true , i have lost much this year. But this is how life is meant to be. You carry on with it.

Enough with blogging . Well i wish you all a very properous and happy new year . May all your resolutions come true.

Telangana

I got up in the morning with the same news all over the channels , with people having just one topic to talk about - TELANGANA. To be true i had no idea about a separate state being asked by TRS though i knew there was a lot of political problem going on in Hyderabad. I admit i dont understand politics and for the same reason i do not take any interest in it. Well Mr. Chandrashekar Rao must be a man of steel to have managed to live without eating for 10 days now. Congratulations to the old man , the government has heard him finally and are in the process of carving out a separate state out of Andhra Pradesh - TELANGANA.

This being said , i am not very happy with whatever has gone till now. Infact i am angry at the fact that the Government bowed down to the request. I am irritated at the politicians who play such dirty politics. People may think i am offending them. However i had the same feeling when Gorkhaland was being demanded out of west bengal by GJM. Why in India do we talk about national integrity when we cannot even maintain the integrity of a state. If individual stick in a bundle of stick are weak , how can the bundle hold itself together.

They say that the issue of Telangana has been fought for 40 years now. Today government has approved of Telangana , tomorrow it will have to bow down to the request of even Vidarbha, Bundelkhand and yes Gorkhaland of course. And why not . Somebody from there too will sit on a hunger strike. Government say that Telangana was much needed as because the disturbance was unbearable. Well i would like to say to the government that even West Bengal is facing a lot of problem regarding the issue of little known Gorkhaland.

Its difficult to forecast the benefit of this decission to the nation; but i have a request to government that please finalise the number of states and end this chaos. Every third month it comes up with a new state.Intrestingly every one has a logic and reason behind it. Please divide this country in as many as states as desired and ask these parties to sign a deal that no one can ask for a new state for next hundred years. Bring these things to an end.
When will our common man understand that nothing good gonna happen with partition, it only increases our administrative expenses. Four new states in last ten years what development have they seen.. Jaago India.
