Hi
I dedicate this review to my friend lallu panju for she inspired me and gave me fodder with her excellent review on our country
She being an ever optimist I give a negative take on our country since I am not optimist enough
1) In the country we all love I can’t seem to forget the communal riots, the bomb blasts and the shedding of blood by Indians of Indians and ironically for India
2) In the country we all love , there are politicians who whip up frenzy in an emotional population easily and along we have been told to Love to Hate Pakistan and now slowly and steadily we are being told to Not to hate to Love Pakistan
3) In a country of a billion people, there are no sporting heroes who excel consistently except for Cricket but that is a Team game
4) In our country we all love, every soul on its earth tells us that population is a major problem but we are also told that Population is our biggest asset since we will soon be “THE MAN POWER SUPPLIER” to the world.
5) In our country we all love many illegal immigrants come to make a decent living are being pushed out but an article in times tells us that after the Chinese, Mexicans , Indians are the largest Illegal immigrants in the western world
6) In our country we all love – we are told again and again that IT/IT services are the major foreign exchange earner for our country but a recent UN report tells us that in HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX we are just above the worst and below Pakistan the country we all love to hate.
In spite of all this when my Indian cricket team loses even a single game I cant find myself sleeping that night
So in my country there is plenty to love and plenty to be ashamed but MILES TO GO before we sleep, and MILES TO GO before we sleep
Regards
