My country

I love my india but till recently I used a crib a lot about it.. I occassionally thought wrong things about india.. my country is poor, people don't follow law, politicians are corrupt and what not..

Come to think of it, I can only laugh at the silliness of my thoughts back then.. I must be blessed to be born in such a wonderful country. What's so wrong with my india? Some people do not follow traffic rules, Some politicians and officers are corrupt and there is some poverty. THAT'S IT. This is a country where your family stands for you what may happen, your relatives take leave and spend time with you when you visit them and you are sent off and received with a lot of warmth. This is the place of love. This is a country where lots and lots of wisdom is incorporated in holy scriptures. The lifestyle , the philosophy in it, allows the mind to wander in higher planes.

Lakhs of people shed their lives and freedom to make sure that I have freedom. I should be worthy of all those sacrifices. My words and actions should reflect my freedom. The only way I can do justice to everything that is given to me is to make best use of it. I will make sure that I grow enormously and let others grow along with me. I will leave a much more wonderful country for the next generations. Just because there are a few people who doesn't recognize the happiness of a rightful and successful life, I will not become one of them. I will set an example for everyone around me just like many people from this wonderful country have done. I will carry the torch handed over to me and will make sure that it is brightest while I hold it.
