Shayad ye khoon nahi hai paani hai

"Aur bhai, khane nahi chal raha kya?" - I questioned casually.
"nahi bhai, anshan pe hun " - he informed.
"kab se, 2 din ?" - i asked.
"teesra din hai aj yaar, kaise wo itne din tak fast kar lete hain " - he expressed praising Anna Hazare.

This conversation shook me off. I was left with no words.I didn't know how to react. We only watch,talk and promise to do all these. He is doing.
This incident questions my credibility of being an Indian. Is it i lack patriotism?
It is quite evident because in all of the twenty two years of my life, i have not done a whit of sacrifice for my mother land.
Is it the right time?
Should i leave aside my daily chores and just jump in the wave of 'Fight Against Corruption'?
I know the answer quite well.
When i took a pause, i realized that this whole revolution has spread quite a bit and it's disbursing quite fast. Anna Hazare and "Fight Against Corruption" have become omnipresent. They are on facebook, twitter, all news channels, on the streets, on the hoardings, in people's talks,thoughts and dreams.
The only place where it has weak presence is my mind.
Another lines nudging me are :
अब तो यह स्पष्ट है, जो जुड़े नहीं वो भ्रष्ट हैं"

Still, i think nothing has gone away. This revolution will continue and i pledge that i will be a part of it.
Atleast i can be present there and show my involvement and support the revolution.

उद्देश्य जन्म का नहीं कीर्ति या धन है
सुख नहीं धर्म भी नहीं, न तो दर्शन है
विज्ञान ज्ञान बल नहीं, न तो चिंतन है
जीवन का अंतिम ध्येय स्वयं जीवन है


सबसे स्वतंत्र रस जो भी अनघ पियेगा
पूरा जीवन केवल वह वीर जियेगा! -------------courtesy IAC Facebook page
