Our country has lost it. Our country is definitely going to the dogs. We are becoming economically superior and our population is becoming patriotically inferior.
I am literally, sick of seeing people so reluctantly standing up for the national anthem. Before every movie, there is someone or the other who will not stand until it has started or will not stand at all. They need to be reminded that it is one of their fundamental duties to respect the national anthem.
I also think that we have lost the courtesy that our very own culture endorses and teaches. We are rude, frustrated people who do not like each other. We see competition in every one's faces. You take out your anger on the taxi wala and he takes it out on you. There are no exchanges of 'thank you' or a friendly 'hello'. People are just angry.
The entire anticipation of a good movie gets killed once you see someone disrespecting the national anthem that infuses pride in me. Why have the national anthem before movies then? Why forcefully making people stand for such a long time(52 seconds) and tiring them unnecessarily? Just do away with the practice altogether.
The quality of our population frightens me sometimes. Yes, it is our biggest resource, yet it might well turn out to be our biggest difficulty. Actually it also is our biggest difficulty. The quality of population defines the country and there are a lot of factors that build that quality. The media is one of the biggest factors and we know the state it is in. So, lets keep our fingers crossed for a miracle of sorts. I sometimes feel the entire existence of such a 'chalta hai' kind of a state is a miracle. We have survived for 62 years. So we are doing quite ok. lol
