A few good men....

“The world used to be a better place…”
“World’s still the same mate..There’s just less in it..”


Its true that the world’s still the same, but the men commanding it, have changed. The world has moved to a place, where positions can be bargained, men can be bought and trust can be deceived. How sad it may sound, but the naivity and honesty has been replaced with cunningness and deception. For the last twelve months, except for the joy of winning the world cup, we’ve been swarmed with news of scams of CWG,2G,Adarsh Housing Society and so on.Unsurprisingly we’ve been living our life, as if nothing has happened. Probably we would have carried our lives as such,for he arrived with a bang.

The good old Wikipedia states him as born of an unskilled labourer family,who owned five acres of land. After taking a voluntary retirement from the post of an army driver, he spent majority of his life by motivating people. He taught a valuable lesson to all, that is ‘Apna Hath..Jagannath’. The concept of ‘Shramdaan’ was utilised for the common man,by the common man himself.

After a decade of subdued protests, the man did a comeback..and boy..what a comeback !!
He started doing what he did best. Motivate. And mark my word people..the kind of stubborn he is..he might also get away with it.

Here’s to the last of a few good men..to Anna.
