aweful or annaful???

The beginning of the day was quite cut-and dried.. though Friday is supposed to be a nice relaxed day as its the weekend, (sigh)...but our class time-table goes absolutely opposite, a line of theory subjects all bundled up for the last day in the working week..but to our happiness.. we just had to tolerate one of them, the rest of the day went decaying time.

someone was surfing through the tv channels in the canteen, and the news channel was put up,which showed Anna Hazare's revolutionized India. The change in the channel lead to the change in the atmosphere of the canteen as well, on a smaller scale only though, the cards of my deck started getting shuffled up, comments and statements poured in from corners and cracks, criticism and appreciation were both felt.

The best part of the day was, when the members of my gang ,actually split apart in two parts, FOR or AGAINST anna.. , ANNA has become the biggest talk of town these days, and he actually deserves to be, yeah there are a handful of people who are against this whole notion and are actually cribbing about the whole scenario. Came across numerous views, some way different some holding some nuance ,ill be addressing the group of people against the notion as the opposition, with no offenses intended, just because i myself support the notion , therefore i fall in the defendant party, the members of the opposition group stated that:

• " ANNA'S GREED FOR PUBLICITY LEADS HIM TO TAKE SUCH A STEP"
• "WHY IS HE DOING ALL THIS NOW?? WHY DIDNT HE DO IT WHEN HE WAS YOUNG"
• "HE SURELY IS GETTING SOME POLITICAL BACK-UP, ELSE HE WAS LONG GONE BY NOW"
• ''ONLY THE PEOPLE WITH A POWERFUL BACKING, IN MONETARY TERMS SPECIALLY, CAN TAKE A STAND, SPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO CORRUPTION"
• "PEOPLE ARE JUST GETTING INFLUENCED BY SO MUCH PROPAGANDA, THEY ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT HIM"
• "HE SURELY MUST BE HOGGING BEHIND THE CURTAINS"

these statements and questions actually hit my grey cells, and got my mind working, are people so naive and babyish that they would just start walking blind and deaf, without a clue or hint about the reason for which they are actually following someone?? soo not true

about the whole old age thingy, its easy but, foolish to talk about something we are not at all aware of, even i didnt have much knowledge about anna since of last, but its actually not sensible to pass statements which can really put you in a tight spot, is ti so simple to make a change?? or being about a wave of awareness??NO!! its not, and it surely does require a lot of time and patience to achieve "that" goal, therefore, anna is here today , an old man but with futuristic approach, an old man who could move the youth.

Was watching a small documentary sort of a thing shown on the news channel, about anna's, life.."ANNA KI KAHANI ANNA KI ZUBANI".... it was so over whelming to know such facts about this man, who started to curb corruption from a very basic and small level, from the small village , where he resided , he brainwashed the people to quit smoking and drinking, and almost 21 years back in this small village , a holika was burnt up with cigarettes and alcohol, and since that day, not a single shop there sells the above mentioned articles.When it comes to , faking about the whole 'anshan' , as it is being though that, he surely must be filling up his tummy tight, whose actually going and checking , i agree, but even if he is eating, what's the harm??? he surely does require those calories after so much hard work :D

Its a fact, that , even after the lokpal bill is passed, the corruption and its roots wont be churned, but yes, its a GOOD START, at least someone hd to take that initiative , and its 'him', m sure he doesn't want a role in one of those ekta kapoor serials nor does he want to appear "sexy and glam" to grab a place in the lakme fashion week, its just about the power of UNITY, and the power of a 'COMMON MAN'.
