Dreams lead to change

Dreams come true. 

I watched hundreds of thousands of Americans packed on the National Mall from the Capitol to beyond the Washington monument,there,for a glimpse of history in the making. Being a world citizen, everyone cannot help but cheer at the fadng lines of social inequality which has plagued the whole world.Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream for America "that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed," i wish that for all the nations. The ideals of Abraham Lincoln will advance when Barack Obama took the oath for the presedential Office.

Whats so special in the election of the 44th american President?

 Its not so much the office which makes the history, what makes the euphoria ubiquitous, is the promotion of oneness, the bettering of the world- the equality which each man on earth deserves.

I dont talk here about the challenges the man faces, i only talk about the moment right now,the change which everyone should see and allow it to grow. Change is what we need to preserve ourselve, our race.

Change is what i saw even in the Indian election. Yes the very same which we called fabricated and pretentious, the change that the Indian electorate voted on issue basis not on caste basis.

Inequality has always been the bottom line of Indian structure, yet this time we saw a change, however small yet it was present.

Racial inequalities, upward-backward, social status, developed-undeveloped  etc has long doomed the world scenario. Caused enough to think over and to try and nullify the damage done.Small leads to big, and big is what we are seeing in the American elections. It takes time definitely, but then its worth the wait.

The dreams of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr, took time to reach the pinacle in the form of Obama.  And so can the dreams of Mahatama Gandhi and the Indian electorate develop into who knows what and whom!

Nothing worthwhile comes free. And to begin the journey lets start small. And then the real challenge will begin. 

I agree  with Obama, the leader " We have duties to ourselves, our nation and the world, duties that we do not grudingly accept but rather seize gladly."

An excerpt from his speech, which I believe stands for every nation and every citizen.

" We are shaped by every language and culture,drawn from every end of this earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter  stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon  dissolve ; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself."

Judge youselves on what you can build not what you can destroy. 

And yes dreams do come true. Faith stands, no matter what. You just have to chose to dream and take it forward.   

Paint the past.!

Look i may be taking the pessimistic view here, but when every thing boils to the end, sometimes what you lost on your way may count more than what u got/achieved. We smile throughout our life thinking that there is so much more to get, to cherish. We run after the facades which life creates for us pushing back the losses we suffer.

People we neglect, time we miss out, phases of life we forget to enjoy. Just thinking that there is so much more to get and create.

We miss out on age-old friends in tiny ego clashes, in small greed. We miss out on the glory of happiness in small things. Sometimes we delibrately push back our losses out of our mind, maybe because they are too much to keep us sane any longer.

We miss so much , much more at the end when and if we begin to tally the balance-sheet of our life. Its not our fault, I tell you. Its our conditioning, the conditioning of a tired mind, the conditioning of a blatantly eroding society. Too much happens now. Too much for our senses in all. 

On the larger picture, we dont stop to count the losses mankind faces every second.Loss of life, loss of care, loss of traditions, loss of countries and their cultures. 

Today the extinction of the flora-fauna has been relegated by the extinction of Man in all their forms. You find a war killing millions of men and civilians. The horrendous trade of African albinos. And then we put down the newspapers and yes we simply no longer care.

We run ahead in our life, yearning to get millions-billions.

 

Coming back to the picture, 

Better to hold on to and cherish your today, rather than making it tomorrows regret.

The Age of the AQUARIAN

The story so far, yes i would like to recollect my thoughts and put my self at a little peace. 

I feel this change inside myself as i learn the facts of destiny; the working of the sublime, ephemeral time. working towards inner peace, towards what u want to make yours. No matter what they said, no matter what happens from now on. Relegated the issues which fill you with hate, with uncertainities. 

I ask myself whether i want my fear to steer me? But no its Myself i want to see behind the wheel. 

I look around now, i try to recompensate myself, for all the things i denied myself. I have a wishlist, I love my pinks and greens. Finally I fit my soul to perfection !

I break the monotony, the anger, the ego.. I celebrate life and all what it has to give me. Im not being over zealous(that was a phase of my life, to run away from the wants which tried to hold me). I'm becomming a believer in Myself; in others i put my faith to be tested time and again. Hold them who matter, close to me.

I hope, yet i know it will be tested. yet i'l stand strong no matter what.. to hope again.

And thats the Age of the Aquarian !!
