the ONE

i recently joined in a MS program in a central US university...on the first day of our classes..i.e. today...i sat in the class after a long tiring trip around the campus...i was looking for the prof. to come and start something enthusiastic about the topic he's gonna teach...i need to perform well,i came a long way from india to study and desperately want to do well...the prof. came rushing into the class...i thought he was in a hurry as he is late to the class...but it's not the reason...he rushed and asked all of us to come to the auditorium...i was not aware that today was the day when obama was taking charge as the president...when i went into the auditorium,people were crowding there watching the speech very enthusiastically... the first thought which came to my mind after seeing that thing is... '' did we ever do it...did we ever watched a president taking charge in india, that too which such an enthusiasm that even professor's encouraged the students to watch it ? " ... well i thought '' Welcome to America ! ''... Everyone clapped and cheered throughout the ceremony... what does this show? ... are ploitics closely attached to people in US than in India...what could be the reason?... is it because he is the first black president?... why doesnt this happen in india... well, we had a women president sworn in last year... how many watched it live... we didnt see it... our proffesor's didnt took us to watch it...well ,are we supposed to watch it ourselves...in india we need to take the initiatives...we always wait for others to take it...we are comfortable to follow others...we need to take inspiration from others not initiative...we need a barack obama...when i say this i dont mean a white indian president...i meant a leader who came against all the odds to lead ones country...india has it in it...india has the history....india has future too if we take gaint strides towards growth which was possible only with a collective effort... collective effort is a term which has no meaning in contemporary india...name it...be it a religious effort...sect effort...but pronouncing a word collective in india is indeed a tough task...we need everyone to awake from the eternal slumber of the never ending disorder of lacking initiative...we need to experiment...tread new paths...take a little bit of risk...india has the calibre to show new paths to others... a country like india which has the substance to be a world winner is just short of a efficient leader.. indian people should not wait for a leader to arise...they must realise that there is a leader in them..within them..waiting to get unleashed...hiding behind,confined by invisible chains...if you are not the one...help the one break the chains
