What when it is one of us ?

Well i am not a marketing student, but have studied some of it for two sems :)
And what i had learned was that the title should be catchy, and that's why i wrote the title as "What when it is one of us ?"

Well recently i have been reading a lot about the naxal activities throughout India, whether it be Bihar, Dantewada, Andhra Pradesh.
Politicians and bureaucrats have been involved in the debate whether military power should be used against the Naxalites.

Most of you won't be interested by now in this blog, but i would insist that please read on , because it is written by one of you.

Well i know that most of the young bloods like you and me would strongly support the use of military power against the naxals, because we are the young aggressive generation of this country. We get inspired from what US did to Iraq, what Sri Lanka did with LTTE.

But for a moment try to step into the shoes of those men who will have to go to fight against those naxals into a completely unknown territory where naxals have the proficiency in fighting the Gueriila war.

To some of you i would like to remind that something similar was tried by US in vietnam, and they faced perhaps the only defeat in their history of wars.

Imagine that your father or may be your brother is being posted in that area, to fight against the naxals. You sitting at home and watching the new all the, to be updated what happening there.
Your brother calls you up and says today was a lucky day, we made a narrow escape from the landmine blast. Would you still tell him, that bro we are proud of you, please fight for the country, and make us proud.

Or you will tell him to get himself transferred as soon as possible so that you can do away with the fear of loosing him.

I dont know how you would be feeling about me, but i am telling you that this is the exact feeling that the families of hundreds of militarymen who hold their guns, to fight for the nation.
Imagine an Indian killing an Indian.

I am not absolutely against the use of military power against the naxals, but will that be a permanent solution. Can anybody guarantee that there would be no more naxals taking birth on Indian Soil, Let me remind you that nobody borns as a naxalite, it is the situation that forces him to be the one.

So if we need to change something, we must change the way the are living, what they suffer everyday.

If you are one of those who likes some action, i would support you too, if you really wanna kill someone, kill those who are misleading people and making them naxals, because naxals have actually forgot that what was the motive with which the naxalites forces were made.

Sometimes i feel that Ganhi had rightly said, the Non-Violence is the biggest weapon to win the hearts, which in turn leads to winning the wars.

But being a guy from this modern india, i would say dont believe in this blindly, because if you stay quiet, people may take you for granted.

I would end this blog with many questions in you mind, you may be confused, because it's high time that we make an opinion of ours.

Experience, which shook me within!!!!

It was 11:30 at night when i was in the office. Had just finished with my work, and was wrapping up to go to home. Was so tired that desperately wanted to have a nice sleep.

Packed everything and went upstairs to grab something to eat, bought one pizza (imagine a pizza at 12 midnight!!!) . But unfortunately i dint like it, and threw it in a dustbin. Then changed my plans and decided to have a maggi at home.

While my way back home, i stopped at a signal, there was this small boy semi naked, cleaning my bike at 12:20 a.m.
He had something in him, i swear i have seen many boys like him who pretend to be wiping the the bike, but they dont actually do, but none of them did it the way he did.
His name was Imtiaz, I offered him 2 rs., he refused, and asked for 5, i asked why u need 5 , he said he wants to eat samosa.

I was touched deeply, i asked him you can get 4-5 more people from whom you can collect 2-2 rs. and ultimately get 10 rs. for two samosas, why was he wasting his time on me.

He said that he had done a good job for me, and thought that he deserved 5 rs., and i can say he was right.

I asked him to hop up on my bike, i took him for a ride, both of us ate samosas, and my plans for the maggi were ruined :)

Kidding, in fact it was a better treat than a samosa, and guess what, he paid for his samosas, and i paid for mine.

Havent seen someone with such integrity for quite a while in life.

I wished i had a longer stay here at hyderabad so that could help that guy in some way to earn a good living, but will have to go back to that shankrapally village.

At present also i am thinking of that guy only that how can i help him, money wont be the solution i guess, it wud be, but must be channelised properly.

Just wish that i can find a way to help him.
Please suggest if you have any, that is feasible.
