False Freedom 2

It's been exactly a year since my last post on Independence Day. Things haven't changed much. The world is still a bad place, if not worse. Case in point: a friend of mine was thinking about spending the weekend with her family in a hill-station but couldn't go because of some riots. Inflation is at an all time high, the IT industry is slowing down ( there goes my prospective job offer :-S ..), terrorist attacks all over the country, parliament debating about Cheerleaders' dresses during IPL matches, that about sums it up. Suffocating. How the system isn't imploding is a thing of marvel!

I know it's easy to say rather than do, but I'm trying to do my bit. I don't litter the roads, I don't drive at night with blinding headlights, I don't discriminate based on caste and religion, I volunteer to help clear up traffic jams, I'm trying to help the underprivileged. I'm still not quiet there but I've made a start. I hope to work on it and make a difference, no matter how small.

Is India 61 years old or still too young as a country to be considered old?
