India Shining

I still remember the feel good "India Shining" ads beamed across India during the election time. What an intelligent way of spending tax payers money to advertise the BJP's agenda. The architect of the idea is no more to see BJP back in power. May his soul rest in peace.

Not to be left behind, Congress has claimed, its actually PV Narasimha Rao, the enigmatic congress leader who started off with the liberelisation. Well, no one the congress wants to talk about why he has to liberalise in the first place. In this dog fight to claim every one is over looking who the real hero is..

I would say its my dad and mom who made India Shining. Similarly you (assuming you are an Indian) could say "even my parents, too.. " And the list goes on.

I still remember, how my parents use to juggle with the finances, my schooling, my college, my future and on top of it, my needs (both justified and unjustified). Never bothered about what they wanted. The only aim was to see me an educated, and a good person with a good career and comfortable living. Very simple wishes and I could see their joy every time I passed the hurdles like my SSC finals, Inter finals and so on..

I have seen many middle class families who absolutely wanted their kids to get good education and be successful in their lives. They never dreamt that their kids will be doing so very good and bring them the comforts of life.. All they wanted is their kids be well educated and earn an honourable & comfortable living. What a noble thought. They worked untiringly keeping their priorities low and the only priority in their minds is the education of their kids.

I wonder how many of our Politician recognize this and atleast pay a lip service to their sacrifices, efforts and their determination.

I salute each and every one who are truly behind this. Surely, with this mind set, India is shining..
