Why should I be proud to be an Indian?


A friend asked me: Is there anything for which we can proudly say India is best in it? Answer is NO. How can I feel proud of being Indian then?

Let me answer you by asking a question first. Are you The Best in the world in anything? Studies or cricket or football or chess or dance or tabla? Anything?

No…right? Still your parents love you. How would you feel if your parents disown you saying you are not best in anything? How would you feel if your son/daughter disowns you or refuse to care for you when you need them just because you are not best in anything?

In matter of nation, if our country is not best we are responsible for it. We have to work to make it best…instead if we just disown it and say I am not proud to say I am Indian just because its not best in anything…do you think its right? Do you think our country will ever be best in anything? I agree we are not at top in anything…not even close to it. That’s why more work is needed, more people are needed to understand its our responsibility to make it happen. Not just understand but work for it. And all of this will come if we first feel proud to say I am an Indian, by birth and by heart.

IDENTITY ... A fight between me and my thoughts.

IDENTITY ... The story of me. Who am I?? Am I real or just an imagination of someone? Do I really exist? Is this world around me real? Or it’s just an environment provided by my imaginer? If I am real, it’s well and good. The food I eat, the things I do…really do affect me and others around me. But what if I am just a virtual person? Then what’s the use of all these activities of mine? Maybe they might also be imagined by “that” real person whose imagination I am. These were the thoughts when I saw the movie “Identity”. It totally distorted my ideas of this world and me. But with time, it faded quickly. I had forgotten it and was leading a normal life. BUT few days back, the ideas suddenly resurfaced to me. I was thinking something while I was going to my office. These thoughts led me to remember the movie again. And it should be hard to believe,(even I felt awkward later) that the thoughts affected my actions drastically. Earlier while crossing roads, I used to wait until the lane was...

At least I like it And as sure as I can be You would love to know Normal I am going to be.
