times a'changing...

there was a time when I woke up in the morning and the newspapers would have stories and features on all the smuggling, black marketeering, robberies, scams, corruption and politics all over India....
the activities notwithstanding, nowadays, I read only about rapes, molestations, acid attacks, murders and suicides... suddenly everything has become more personal and individual...
Is India shining? Lets not ask the people sitting in the high kursis of the politicial or corporate arenas ...lets ask the common (wo)man who is facing these changes at an everyhour basis... the answer I'm afraid is not just an affirmation or negation, but much more...and in a dark, secretive way.

Indeed, times a'changing, hopefully, so is the commom man, and waking up to unifying the voices of the meek, making it stronger and louder.

*embarrased smile* - I still owe you an email !!
