क्या आप मेरे साथ हैं???

From 1947 till 2008 and god knows till when... its even difficult to put down all the dates...Mumbai blasts...Kashmiri pundits massacare...Godhra...yet another attack on Mumbai...and even as I write, some terrorist plot is being executed with perfection and ease. From the time I have taken interest in politics, in news, in current happenings...all I have seen is blame games. Shame on us that these cowardly terrorists are "brave" enough to take up the responsibility of an attack...whereas we are so used to leading a "tension free life" that we keep on shifting the load onto someone else's shoulders everytime something goes wrong. As we drop that choclate wrapper or waste piece of paper on a clean road, we never realize that it is the same "I" who doesnt hesitate to blame the government for not maintaining the road or the hoi polloi for not understanding the meaning of cleanliness. sadly enough, we still havent learnt to point that finger at ourselves....we give bribes to get our work done, but we point our fingers at the person taking bribe....we drive on the wrong lane...but point fingers at someone else driving in the wrong lane. The same ol dialogue,"yahaan ka system...hi hai kharaaab"...कौन है यार ये system?? और कितनों पर ऊँगली उठाएँगे?? कब यह मानेंगे के गलती हमारी है...उनकी नहीं...कब ये कहेंगे के ये देश हमसे है...और हमारा हर एक कदम इस देश को निखार सकता है या इसकी सुन्दरता को बिगाड़ सकता है!!! हाँ मैंने गलती की है....कभी जान बूझ कर, कभी अनजाने में....पर और नही...अब वक्त है उन गलतियों को सुधारने का...क्या आप मेरे साथ हैं,क्या आप देश के साथ हैं??? लिखने को तौ बहुत है, पर आज बस एक ही पंक्ति याद आती है...." कन्धों से मिलते हैं कंधे क़दमों से कदम मिलते हैं, हम चलते है जब ऐसे तौ दिल दुश्मन के हिलते हैं...."
