my grandfather always used to say ,"always keep 3 things loaded and in handy: a pen to write down ur thots,a camera to capture the beauty around u, and a gun; to shoot wen u see injustice."
hez long gone but these words ve been ingrained in my head.even on his death bed he used to write letters to the government fighting 4 causes which i guess nobody else wud ever have thot of...filing suits against d injustice of the administration...
but he came frm d pre-independence era...d generation inspired by d mahatma..he ws one of those who believed till they were 80..tht he cud change the world...but wot abt us?dont v c d authorities being unfair ever?dont v cum across ne injustice meted out to us?..but v let it b..v say life is unfair..or this is d way d world revolves...n then move on...
so many times have i dreamt of changing d world..making a difference...n so many times have i been told u r too naive..wait till u see d real world n it wil change u.
i agree my dreams seem impossible...but den wsnt martin luther king's dream impossible too?this doesnt mean i m comparing myself to the gr8 soul...nor r my dreams dat big...but is it a crime to dream about changing the place u live in?makin it better 4 u n 4 d others?makin d world a better place to live in 4 d cumin generations...n not allowing them to go thru d same as wot u did?rnt u indebted to ur own life cleanse ur surroundings of all d slush n dirt dat it contains?
i often find myself cribbing..dat life isnt fair to me...but then again...or is it me whoz unfair to life?
