Dear Deswal Jee

I know what is the meaning of my ID and thanks to u that u understand this very well. Its not like this that i dont appreciate anything abt India, i really feel proud abt being a Indian. So those points were only for criticising the weakness. Ek DIn aisa bhee ayega kee hum kuch aisa karenge apne desh ke liye kee aap log yeh kahenge YEH KAB AUR KAISE HO GAYA!

Abhimanyu Phougat

Bhai Abhimanyu,

I agree with you in total, there are still problems and those would take years and years to reach to the desired level. At the same time, I would like say that we must learn to appreciate what we have. As your Id suggests, Positivelook. I mean look positive think positive and act positive, than only we can have some positives in personal life as well as in public life. How much energy we waste in criticizing and not making a small positive contribution?

Arr bhai Abhimanyu, yo Olympic mei Gold medal ka akaal sa ibke ye mahare Bhiwani aale chhore jaroor todenge, mera dil keh se!


भाई मुकेश
इन पंक्तियों को केवल दोहराने से काम नही चलता , महसूस करना पड़ता है , जीना पड़ता है
तभी एक जवान अपनी जान देश पर न्योछावर करता है / उस समय वो कोई तर्क नही करता
उस समय वो घायल अवस्था में भी यही संदेश अपने कमांडर से कहता है , " ये दिल मांगे मोरे "

आपने जो बात कर्नल साहेब के हवाले से कही है , वो एक उपवाद ही हो सकता है
फ़िर भी निंदनीय है. कारन चाहे परवारिक कलह , या वयवस्था तन्त्र का फेल होना !

आप अपनी मेहनत का प्रतिफल न मिलने से कुंठित हैं या किसी और वजह से , इतना जरुर है आपको यहाँ भी और अपने निजी जीवन में भी सकरतम सोचने की जरूरत है

अब आप इसे विधि की विधान कहिये , या शाररिक सरंचना का कमाल, कि में , चाहे जंहा भी रहूँ , चाहे जैसा भी दीखता हूँ
भारतीय ही रहूँगा, एक जाट ही रहूँगा / कंही से मेरी खाल खुरच लो, डीएनए पुकार २ कर कहेगा में जाट हूँ , भारतीय हूँ
अब जब में अपनी असली पहचान बदल ही नही सकता , तब जो है उसे मन से क्यों ने सवीकार करूं, क्यों ने उस पर गुमान करूँ !

आप एक बहुत ही होनहार नोजवान हैं, सकारात्मक सोचिये ! कुवय्वास्था के ख़िलाफ़ आपका गुस्सा जायज, पर उसे रातों रात तो सुधार नही जा सकता / अपने स्तर पर प्रयास करते रहिये !


खुश रहो!

I appreciate your spirit and true feelings Abhimanyu Bhai.
I also strongly agree and believe like you That "Hum honge kamyaab ek Deen"
I also strongly believe that You and Gagan will Keep the Indian and Jats flags flying High in Perth!

Gagan, I still remember a true story posted by Dr. Birbal ji and the respone of an Indian father to his half Indian daughter on her disgust full remarks about stray Dogs and cattle roaming around in streets of Jaipur. The Dad's answer was, " Every thing co-exists here".This is the real Indian spirit, that I love , adore and am proud of. Economic development is superficial and doesn't touch the soul of living beings!

You guys are still very young with lots of energy and fire! Keep this spirit and fire alive!

Colonel Saheb, you explained it so very well that I feel people would realize without remaining prejudiced to certain issues with half truth they have been constantly fed by media. For example, I remember some issues regarding problems faced by War widows and widows of some servicemen regarding their pension and final dues. In many such cases, servicemen haven't declared marriage or were married to more than one woman or didn't make a proper declaration of their next of kins.
Issues like this are very emotional and touchy to all of us and every one can get carried away easily. Damage would be done until the real picture emerges.


Cheers!

Most of the people who have commented are already out of the country(India) and that too for a long time.
We have spoken our mind. You did not dare to reply to each comment but atleast you came forward with a response and I appreciate it. As far as hypocracy is concerned then you might be on the top because despite your too negative thinking about India, I am sure that you still visit that country.
My advice, improve your thinking and choose the right words to describe any thing.
 
Didnt reply to EACH post...coz i never get personal...moreover dont have enough interest in entertaining everyones views/ giving it too much of levage

m not sitting here for character assasination or judge/asess people.
to each his own...
moroevr,, wud NEVER like to come back to India,,,believe me, not saying it in an instant of wrath,,but honestly,,,if only it was not for my relatives and friends, or my ancestral village.

n moreover,,,no one can ban/put a fatwa on me :D

People even go to Somalia or any other malnourished/downtrodden/intriguing country as well to visit (ok..thats going too far now,,no comparisons as such) so i might...

repeating again...to each,his own:) cant change ur views,,neither can u !
no bad blood
 
Deepshi Madam tae poori chingar rahi sae India se... :D ... mujhe
aisa kyun lagta hai ki deep inside she misses it a lot...:cool:

Vaise, just recently went to India for a short one week trip after a gap of
4/5 years. I continue to believe that that country is really an enigma. Like
so many authors have described it, India leaves one with
all kinds of extreme feelings...on either side of the spectrum...from
fascination to frustration...it just depends on what side anyone
is tuned to focus on.

I think it is an amazingly soulful place. There is something there that connects
us to life and its source. Like someone said, its the one place where
everything seems to coexist. If there be such a thing as God, then I am
pretty sure it is hanging out there, itself baffled by it all.

I wonder how many of us who have ventured out to make a living,
will eventually, sooner or later, make our way back, perhaps in
our Golden years...to seek peace in our latter stages of our lives and
to seek a resting place for our souls.

Deepshi Madam tae ude-eh mulaqaat honti laage sae. :D:p

Pass this to every INDIAN.... and be PROUD to be an INDIAN
 
Sabke lambe lambe and some really harsh comments padhne ke baad maine socha ki main bhi bhashan de hi dun.....

Its really unfortunate that people are looking for reasons to be proud of or not to be proud of one's mother land.... Its your country, not someone else's that they will make it all perfect for you to live in... Just like a certain Abraham Lincoln said. " ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY". I am sure all the India bashers tried their best to change anything in this country or did they???????
All the problems one cites well just like every other country in the world- India is a mix of good and bad. For Deepshi madam, Are you proud of living in Australia- The place where England sent all the serious convicts and parasites of British society??? The whole population there has bred through them - India atleast had a civilization. Every country has its problems and deficiencies. Reading all the comments has sickened me. I dont want to list down all the things that make me proud of India, All i can say is that I can stand proudly in this melting pot of various nationalities- Dubai and proudly claim I Am an Indian.

Hello ..Deepshi .. u may have ur own resons for not being proud of INDIA or loving her and the great discontent u have for her.

But I m pleased to know that u r proud of ur community, proud of being a jat n loving ur village for that matter.

But what I m wondering about is ."Is ur village in INDIA or somewhere else, is it not a part of INDIA?"I m sure u go through sleepless nights whenever u have to visit ur Village as u have to come VIA INDIA.:)

But , what I understand is "Nobody is perfect". Take humans as example.

Kise ko apne ankhein pasand hai, kisi apne haath, kisi ko apne baalon pe rashq hai to kisi ko apni killer smile per.Ab kyunki shareer ka sirf ek hi hissa sundar/perfect hai, main baki hisse ko kaat kar to nahin faink sakti?? Or can I ?/!!:confused:But perfect??!! ah-o....havent come across till now as have always met mortals (read Humans) n sadly not d immortals(read Divinity).


Now coming to a Gentleman's take on closing eyes to the shortcomings(read escapism) would like to ask him :"Sir, i m which ever part of INDIA u are, I m sure u must have experienced the "grave situation" (even though for once) since u r talking at lenght about them and concuring to all who think the same.Can u let us know "what single step or measure u have taken to improve "the grave situation" or if u have any plans to do so? Coz I m sure if u do have one u find many concuring to that.

As far as I m concerned , for me INDIA ROCKS !! :rock not two ways about and would do any thing it may take,n bring HER up to ur STANDARDS.:):cool:


Bless.

If one criticizes the bad things of his country that doesn't mean he hates his country or ashamed of being the citizen of that country. I can sacrifice n numbers of life for my Nation but that doesn't mean I should keep my eye closed away from all evils which are very much there in this country and the irony is that they are increasing by geometric mean. If somebody (by mistake) tries to speak against them or thinks to change them, then he is discouraged like anything, Log kehte hai bait ja chup chaap aya hai samaj sudharak and most of them chup ho hi jate hai..aur galat bi nai isme kuch akhir use bi apni roji roti ka bi dhyan rakhna hai.. It's practical.

One more thing there is nothing wrong in asking for the reasons to be proud or not to be proud.

As Mahatma Gandhi rightly said that "Faith must be by reasons otherwise it dies"

now reasons could be any thing. :)
 
getting better

NOW we are talking..

well to set the record right first..
I DONT HATE INDIA (Jeez..y m i even clarifying...but just for the record),,its just that m disappointed ,,as now i hv been with one or two shallow/irascible members.
so guys DONT infer or read what u WANT to...
n its been stone-pelting from soo many people here..that even if i wud have liked (which i doubt) to address u personally , i cant!

Now...let me set it staraight..
1. One of the members was aghast/startled on the word hippocrate (i thought its a doctors oath:D) n " spade"
O dear gullible one...u cud hv checked the dictionary first
its an idiom "calling a spade a spade" means telling the way it is..:D

2. As i was discussing with one of my frnds here yest. that i voiced my (damned..oh so much umbrage)acc. to some ) thoughts here coz i thought we were all Indians
i wud hv ferociously fought over with sum1 of a different nationality if he dared to say such things bout India. As my mom says she points out my mistakes (although even i get mad at her sumtimes for doing so )only coz she thinks m her own..n in front of other wud go to any length to protect my respect.

3. Wud sum of the guys who wrote real NASTY comments here wud really earn a persons respect/faith in their views/ country by doing so.
Of course u wont mind losing a person,,,but as said- u already hv got excess!!!

they say "no bad blood" but it exactly shows how bad their blood is (ok-pun certainly intended)

sum people take a li'l while,to grow out of their teens ,,n start gettin personal
if u care to check,,I hv not been yet.


4. There still r sum latitudarian people here who hv been so understanding and have a big heart n mind to accept others' beliefs even if they dont concur

even Mr Raj Rathee's signature proves it

as Mukesh has summarised it...give it a thought..
kudos to u guys who let it be a healthy discussion without any bias/prejudices



now...gotta go for a jog...but trust me...will be back soon once as i hv been stimulated again to let it out of my system..

I may put sum solid proofs for my disgust n previous posts..

so guys watch out this space ;)

n for the rest of u ...GROW UP...GET A LIFE !!
