Things seem to be just flying by these days. Somehow one cannot decide if its good or bad. On reflections things have always looked good but in the present they bleed. Life has this funny way of making you progress. The situation now is exactly the same. At times I donot even know if I am reacting to it in the best way possible, but then its just a matter of time before things start looking good in the rear view mirror. Well thats the eternal optimist in me speaking. It funny a comic character like Spiderman states "With great power comes great responsibility", somehow we Indians can never seem to handle power responsibily. Maybe there is a reason why dispite having the oldest and richest cultures, we Indians have not dominated the world. By domination I mean domination and not saying we are the BPO capital of the world! Thats why India as a nation, as an economy, as a state of mind has always been a nation on the verge. It is always arriving, but never quite there. Its innate in every Indian. Even if we get an inch of development or power, our egos grow multitude. It is this attitude that is pulling India down today. People here are demanding change. People here are expecting after 26/11 our humble politicians will change. Isnt the inaction so far and the "expert" comments by these politicians proof enough that they have infinite resistance to change and we Indians have an infinite pleasure of continously being raped throughout history.
