In support of Anna

Yesteday was a big day - we called off our evening work and attended the candle light protest to Support the fight against corruption.

It was the first public procession I attended in my life. Truly felt like the first useful thing I did for the nation.

Another realization - supporting in cyberspace is nothing as compared to supporting on the streets. For one, it benefits self - yesterday's feeling was a million times more intense than all the mails taken together I've sent on behalf of greenpeace and avaaz.org. Then, the magnitude of the message communicated is of an entirely different scale - only the vast visible protests from all over India forced the Govt. to bend down yesterday.

This spark should not die out. Let's give our hundred percent and do our part - voicing ourselves on the streets, not just on cyberspace!!!

Been two weeks

Lots and lots of opportunities, and nobody to take them!

...feelings after taking an unbiased view around, after all these days.

Also felt at times if I'm actually worthy of the responsibility I'm here to shoulder, but then, the realization that I am actually here, doing all this, and nature has set up all these conditions gives the conviction that this all is meant to be; and my part is just to keep giving it my one hundred percent.

Then, there've been those times when the mind goes bonkers trying to process all that's happening... when I'd wake up at night 3 AM and keep awake till 5.30, wishing that the mind shuts down and I can go back to sleep... and a constant, mild headache for days together because of mind's habit to splash about in its own uneducated way, among all that's happening. I can almost realize why some people take sleeping pills and other intoxicants... fortunately I have the priceless art of vipassana with me.

Will continue the monologue soon :)
