I would like to read something from your side first. To measure the length you need a scale with you, unless you may not understand the real magnitude of some one with a long run devotion and dedication to some thing. I have a lot to write on this but let me know what measuring scale you hold with you. Please don't mind my words, I know they are weapons. But I can share it unless I find the man who is with some substance.

Ohh YES !!! I am a true INDIAN !!!! You know what, I tend to break the traffic rules as and when possible..... :D I speak of bad conditions of road, I crib about the taxes, I hate the Indian Cricket team when we loose, I dont vote saying all the political parties are the same, I pay the policemen to leave me when I break some traffic rules, I speak about Poverty in India, I discuss about growing population, I wish I cud be an IT professional so that I cud go to US or UK and settle down there, and then I go to disc, eat and sleep sound. Just to wake up another morning, and attend my usual routine...... Isnt its been like true Indian... Isnt an average Indian doing all these things as I am..... But hey guys... there are few amongst us, who are not shouting about being true Indians... or Social workers but are doing their bit to be good citizens..... Yes we need not go on front and fight for our country to be good Indians...... We need not shout at the top of our voices to say what should be done to make this country beautiful...... We need not donate large sums (believe me this is the last things we Indians require... We have lots of it :D) for Social Services and say "ohhh My duty is over"........ All we need to do is show a little bit of thoughtfulness....... Rather than cribing about the system, be honest to yourself and change yourself and your surrounding...... Try to give some time for the social cause.... Its the least you can do for the society and you need not be a full time social worker for that.....and If at all you have to bend rules, bend them for the betterment of Society.... I love my country... And I am not going to leave it.... I will stay here... Be a part of the system and yet would try to change it...... I am not a social worker, no political leader... I am a common Indian... and would be the same always.... and would do whatever I can (may be a bit) in whatever way I can for my country....
