Bappuji, Namaste.Not that I don't value the freedom I have, not that I am cribbing about the fact that the freedom is not enough. I some how feel, people are just enforcing stuff on us, and surprisingly even you are not being spared as a reason. Do you even know that ???. I hope heaven@network.com is functional and you have access to this blog. Because it's important, you know these basic facts of life.
Bappu, times have changed, it's not the same India anymore where we work in the farms and wait for the harvest season to celebrate, The kind of torture we go through between the weekdays, (Sorry in your time it's Monday through Friday), is actually a miniature version of the freedom struggle that you fought for years. Yes, you might be amazed that we have to fight for the freedom to do the right things and not the stuff that makes the manager happy, to do things that add value, to do creative stuff at work is a freedom struggle, a struggle against the outsourced, mundane, trash cleaning jobs that we are in.
Our struggle is not against the white's who came on horses, with canons and explosives, who levied taxes on us and deprived us of us our natural wealth, rather against a bunch of dud's who are merely postmen who bring to us order's from the very old people who you drove away from here. Yes they still rule us, they control what youth does here, they control the imagination of the parents, our upbringing patterns , educational systems, in short everything. Engineering colleges here popped up like mushrooms in a rain cause the demand for them has been on a rise. Tomorrow, am sure they are going to throw seeds that would grow scientists. Now they are looting us of the intellect, they have put a headphone on our ears, have given us read only access into certain critical systems that we monitor and we are jumping in joy !!!!!!. You fought against the Brit's who taxed us and built bridges, rails and roads which are still key to our infrastructure, when they left came in the so called democracy which robs us every month and gives us back ache's through the roads, asthma cause of the pollution, Malaria through the contaminated water.
Bappu, you can't let us be sober on a Saturday, this year your birthday is on a Saturday and that leaves us with no option rather than to roam sober. We celebrate birthday's @ work, where in we do not even know who's birthday is being celebrated. We get to hotels and pay in our shares to celebrate some one's birthday who never added anything to our life and on yours we are not allowed to go out, party !!!!. What good is the freedom you got us, Bappu ???. We wanna celebrate your birthday. We want to celebrate the freedom you got us, which we have already sold out for millions of dollars and are almost heading towards the next big fight. We do not want to curse you, we love you for what you have done, but not for the regulations bought under your name. If you can, could you please convey this to the Italian woman who currently rules the country!!!!!!!!
