Where All Her Children May Dwell...

Let's Find Utterance...

1) Right to Information, made available in a few days
2) A PDS that does not steal food from people's plates
3) Everything we fought and have yet to fight for
4) Being in school and not on the streets
5) Rivers being cared for and not being prayed to
6) Rioting to root out communalism
7) A vote counted and not just cast
6) Awareness of duties and not just rights
8) Soldiers being given their due and farmers not driven to suicide
9) Civil Society stronger than the political class
10) A 21st Century beacon and not a Third World hag
11) 62 years of introspection but not looking back
12) India awakes to life and freedom all over again

This and more...

Happy Independence Day to every Indian out there! Jai Hind!

My friend Anand, is developing his own homepage on the TIFR site. Even roomie Abhishek has one. This has inspired me to have one of my own too. So I'll be working on my own website. Of course, the blog does suffice in a lot of cases, but I guess having my own site will give me more functionality to add the kind of stuff I cannot put up on my blog.
