The awakening call.

Its really difficult to pen down these things, but the reality is that truth is always hard to believe.

India, a damn big country with a land area of 3.3 million square kilometer and a population of 1.12 billion people.

So, this blog will be on India and I would like to start this blog with a song from the film " Unnal Mudiyum Tambi" a tamil film released in the year of 1988. The song goes this way,
" Punjai undu nanjai undu pongi varum gangai undu
Panjam mattum innum inga theerala
Veedhiku oru katchi undu saadhiku oru sangam undu
Needhi solla inga oru naadhi illa
Sanam nimmadhiaa thoonga oru naalum illa
Idhu naada illa vaerum kaada
Idhai kaeka yaarum illai thozha"

I still feel the same way in 2009.

Poverty still grips of millions of people in India. Many die of malnutrition. Its high time we focus on this issue,
If we want India to grow, it should be an uniform growth. If only one side of India grows then its actually some defect.
Take your body for example, if all the parts grow uniformly then you are normal, but just if your leg or arm grows then you are in serious trouble and that is the same case with India.

There are also other serious issues which we need to focus,
1)Energy,
2)Pollution,
3)Education,
4)Poverty

Energy : We all were aware of the time when there were frequent power cuts. But there are so many people who have not even experienced the effect of electricity. Many living in hill stations, where it is difficult to construct grids and then supply electricity renewable energy is a very good option.

India receives approximately 275 days of sunlight every year. India receives so much solar energy which is far more than the total energy consumption of the country. Presently more than 90 % of the energy demand in India is met by fossil fuels.

Presently, the Indian government has decided this is the way to go, and they are focusing more on solar energy and electrifying India completely.

We need to tackle all these economic hurdles quickly and grow. The pollution and the carbon dioxide emission have to be controlled.
Next big hurdle is the poverty. Here are some stats
More than millions of people live below the poverty line and eating three meals a day is a big achievement for many.
But when u see the other side, like nearly four of the top 10 richest in the world are from India.

This economic gap should reduce and it s up to us to do something to bridge this gap.

India is a young country with an average age of it s population to be 24.8 years of age. I think this is the right time for the things to change.

There is no sacred thing in this world, than helping the fellow human being. We dont have to build the people a beautiful home, or give them a brand new car..

All we have to do is to provide education for all the people and see to that they get three meals a day.

Change is the only thing that is constant ever, SO let s hope and do all the things that is required for a beautiful place to live in.
Jai Hind,
