Objectives of Rebooting India

After my post” Do my country need pest control at large scale”. Few people asked me in private, what is goal of the blog? What are real objectives of this initiative?

Definitely I have good objectives and intention to start this blog. I like to share my thoughts on “Objectives of Rebooting India” in this post. Main idea of starting this blog is to discuss 

      ·         Challenges in front of the people to build India as better nation

      ·         Idea for appropriate solutions to challenges

      ·         To build better Indian value system

Many people thought, why we should be part of this initiative when there is enough think tank to advise government in policy making, inspiring personalities to publish books and deliver speeches to mentor people. That’s true. But generally people of that stature disconnected from real problems and do not really get the ideas for solutions from the people, who are really facing these issues. Few of these people have good intentions and few of them do just as change in their life style. Type-2 people travel by local train for one day to understand livings of Mumbai people or stay for one night to dalit’s house to understand their problems. These are definitely media stunts and cosmetic design for their faces. Similar people who are part of such drive then think people traveling by 2^nd class train tickets are of cattle class or women protesting in Delhi rape case are dented and painted women.

I like to discuss problems in this forum and also collect ideas from people who talks on coffee tables/ drawing rooms and throw many out of box and still simple ideas for complex issues.

Few of top most challenges, which I can think at this point

      ·         Corruption

      ·         Crony capitalism 

      ·         Safety of common people

      ·         Health & Education

      ·         Gender biased thinking

      ·         Protecting childhood

      ·         Young generation distant from social issues

      ·         Energy deficit

      ·         Environmental issues

      ·         Vote bank politics

Government is not responsible for all problems and agitation/protest cannot be solution to all issues. Off course, for few issues, agitation help in mobilization of the people, increasing awareness of issues and can build pressure on system to bring changes.

Let’s build better India, which will be safe, peaceful, supporting good value system for us, for our children and generation to come.

While uploading the contents of this post, there is naxal attack on “Parivartan Yatra” in Chhatisgarh. I will follow the story. Naxalism is another issue in India. After 65 years of independence, these people are not part of the system. Neither system is ready to include these people as ordinary countrymen nor these people ready to adopt Indian system

Do my country need pest control at large scale?

Morning of Saturday(18-May-2013), somewhat lazy day for people working in 5-day schedule. I need to take my family(wife and two kids) to my in-laws house (just 20kms away from my residence).My wife and I planned to have pest control of my house, when they are not at home as my son is just 3 months old. After leaving  family to in-laws house, I came back to home and called pest control agency and had done pest control around 1.00PM.

Now for 3-4 hours, I cannot enter house because of chemicals used in pest control and need to spend time outside house. I went to Amanora mall thinking its good location to spend 3-4 hours in hot summer days. I checked Inox for current movies, but there was not any good movie, which you can watch alone. Then I thought of purchasing good book from “Crossword” and read book in Mall common space itself. I asked for books” “Walking with lions” by K Natwarsing and “More salt than pepper” by Karan Thapar. But to my luck, neither of these titles were available. So I was just checking available options and could locate a good book: “anna,  13 days that awakened India” by Ashutosh. I quickly read introduction of the book by Yogenda Yadav and found worth to read it. Now I need not to think about any other entertainment.

While going though book, I feel it is really suffocating in Indian democracy, where powerful people can do anything and nothing can be done against them. After series of scams 2G, CWG, Coalgate; government was in denial mode to take any actions against wrongdoing and to prevent wrongdoing in future. It is not only party in power, but their alliance partner, oppositions supported not to have any real concrete actions.

I supported “Lokpal Movement” because it was not against any party, but it was against system; which has high immunity to corruption and wrongdoings. There are many more junks, spams, Trojans in current system. In book “What young India wants” by Chetan Bhgat he correctly pointed out that system is unhealthy and just “Crocin” will not be helpful, it require strong antibiotic dose to recover from illness. I fully agree to reboot the system completely.

It was 5.30PM and I was still reading book. I thought of returning to home (Intensity of chemicals used in pest control must have come down by that time). When I opened doors and windows for fresh air, thought of starting blog comes along with fresh air. It clicked easily and start blog Rebooting India- http://rebootingindia.blogspot.in

Once I entered in house, I saw many died insects and suddenly I thought can we have similar pest control in country to finish corrupt insects and parasites. My heart says “Yes We can!” If every good individual  think for change, we can change complete system. In Obama’s word “Change-That we can believe in.”

Beginning step of change could be small. Just register your name in voter list. Vote to right candidate without failure. Your attempts may fail, but do not fail to make any attempt. If you come across any difficulty in registering/transferring name in voter list, write your difficulty in comments. We will have resolution in forum. We can and we will change the system
