The first step.

This morning I received a call from my friend. He happend to see something which moved him and wanted to change the future of our country. He saw an engineering student who filed the nomination for the upcoming parliment elections. My friend too wanted to contend for the election and do something good for the people. This is not wrong. There are lot many people who think about the same. But their actions.. "ZERO".

 

Our country's future can be changed by the youth. But where are the youth? What are they doing?

 

I myself see lots of youth, especially software engineers, commenting on the politicians, corruption, city's infrastructure, etc. But do the youth really care for our country? One who doesn't vote doesn't have the right to comment about the future of the country. www.jaagore.com has been such a wonderful website to the register for voting. Infact, they had setup the dropboxes in many of the software companies for the collection of the forms. Yet, many people have not registered. There are another set of people, they have registered in the website but it is too tedious for them to go and drop at the office of your local Electoral Registration Officer.

 

Come on folks, it's time for us to act. You need not be a police officer to fight the corruption. You need not be a politician to change the country's future. All you have to do is the create awareness in the community. Elect the right leader. If he doesn't do anything to the people, hold his collar, slap him on his face and ask him to "DO". "Doing is the only way for things to be done".

 

You happen to spend hundreds and thousands of money for your self. Why don't you spend atleast 100 rupees to get a white board and set it up near a provision store write something on it which motivates the people (use local language so that everyone understands).

 

"THE CHANGE SHOULD START WITHIN YOU". Stop dreaming start living. This is just a first step.
