We all know what ails us, but who will bell the cat?
Let us stop complaining and get real. If Gandhiji relied on the internet to mourn, Britsh would still be ruling us.
To learn to swim, we have to get really wet. To set things right is not a joke, anywhere. I was just watching Bernanke grilled by congressmen. They take things seriously and can really talk (nonsence, to me at least). US is being taken for a ride by the Chinese. They can sqeeze them where it hurts. Japanese will be saints by comparison.
We have real problems, but have no clue how to go about it. The young are the majority. What are they waiting for? The old are really old. Give them a break. Let Harry Potter gen take over. They can turn things upside down, download films in seconds, send sms,mms and what not. Why rely on oldies who cannot even see what is on the screen?
The new gen can come clean, forget about religion, caste etc as they all believe in modern tech - one world. Let the oldies fight to death over their Gods and upteen grouses.
President Kalam is really young at heart. He sees God in children. No need for heaven in after life, while he enjoys it here. Bali bombers were promised 72 virgins in heaven. Heaven soon ran short and had to ration. President Kalam does not need even one. He is alone, but never lonely. He looks forward to a new journey everyday, not necessarily at Rashtrapathy Bhavan.
President Kalam can bless the young, let there be thousand Kalams.
