I had a dream last night. And to my exclaim I was the main lead of my movie like dream. I was never this much idealistic. But then I think somewhere in my sub-conscious mind I possess an idealistic character. The dream goes as follows.
I was with my friends in a car going somewhere. Suddenly I saw a boy (may be 6-7 years old) in his school uniform with his Dad, may be going back to his house after the school was over. He instantly threw his little flag, The National Flag of my country and many other Tricolour stuffs on the roadside. May be it was a few days after 15th August Independence Day. I don't know what happened to me, what lit inside me that I at once ran to the child and tried "preaching" him that "you should not do like that. Don't you know its our National Flag? Why did you bought all this if you wanted to insult it like this?" And so on.. But then I realised he was just a kid, how will he know the importance of the Tricolour if his parents and elders around him are not interested. Then I started picking up all those things lying on the road. After picking up half of the things I looked up to find that nobody was listening to me. He just left with his Father. That was a heart breaking moment. Even his Father was not interested. Then I looked at my friends and they were smiling, I don't know "on me" or "for my good deed". As soon as finished picking up all those things I found a little hand coming towards me. It was another boy, 5-6 years elder than the previous one. He touched my hand and said "Didi, It doesn't matter. Nobody is looking at you and nobody is learning from you." At that moment I wanted to scold and slap him. But his "innocent smile" and the word "Didi" caught hold of my anger as I kept silent. But then looking at my face he was like, "Didi, I promise I won't ever dare throw my National flag here and there. I will always follow what you taught me today".These words were magical for me.
That's it. I woke up.
I have always wanted to rise from these worldly possessions and do something for all. But for now I succeeded in just a dream. And then I also realised that I want to be big at heart and inspire people for good, which of course can be done without coming into power as Arvind Kejriwal is doing with his Aam Aadmi Party. I don't have any idea whether he'll succeed or not because I've heard a lot of bashing and people calling them jokers etc.
Okay it happens most of the time that I start writing on a topic and automatically switch to other hot discussions linking the two.
Moral of my story is (what I conclude) "start from the roots of your country, i.e., these little kids, transform them and you'll be able to secure India's future. Then think of going further ahead!"
Its still extremely tough!
