Haldane:<br /><br />The world shall perish not for lack of wonders, but for lack of wonder<br /><br />It is wonder (and hope!) that will lead us from apathy and neglect to a heightened awareness and care for what belongs to us and to our Watan.<br /><br />Keep blogging! :)Mainakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024780427710405564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628948255039211186.post-31594031521004331322012-02-13T14:39:11.276+05:302012-02-13T14:39:11.276+05:30That's not a spoiler Kapil.

A sense of possibility and responsibility will drive the change in every functional area. I feel that everyone - a teacher, a lawyer, an IAS officer, a Politician and absolutely every citizen of the country has to feel the need to own up to the problems and solve them and ask themselves the question of 'HOW' !Sandarshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01595648329355119628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628948255039211186.post-19957318451216909962012-02-13T13:55:32.384+05:302012-02-13T13:55:32.384+05:30I dont want to be the spolier - but when you say -...I dont want to be the spolier - but when you say - "we will make sure that the Watan is back on track" - while it is a noble thought, I wanna ask how?Kapil Viren Ahujahttp://blog.kapilvirenahuja.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628948255039211186.post-38585072443970375752012-02-11T01:37:52.940+05:302012-02-11T01:37:52.940+05:30love the writing! you were bang in Delhi, which is...love the writing! you were bang in Delhi, which is a much much better maintained heritage than the rest of India! imagine the smaller monuments in the smaller places. apparently there is a black Taj Mahal near Aurangabad. does anyone even know about it? <br /><br />i am honestly NOT very confident that we will do anything to restore these monuments. i have seen a lot of restoration work in S E Asia, and it costs a lot of money and takes years. we will play cricket, click photographs, click our tongues and move on to our cafes and bars. i recently heard about the restoration of the Sun Temple in Konark, Orissa. it is a massive beautiful structure that is being "restored" by replacing the original stone carvings with plain slabs of concrete! so, the little amount of restoring we do is also very functional and cheap, and no attempt is made to preserve any of the aesthetics whatsoever<br /><br />as a society, post-independence, we have lost our sense of artistry when it comes to architecture. neither have we created a masterpiece, nor have we maintained what was left to us to keep. sigh, indeed!Santanuhttp://santanu.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628948255039211186.post-92167967060417101002012-02-11T00:24:36.558+05:302012-02-11T00:24:36.558+05:30Totally agree.

Though we need to appreciate what we have right now, we also need to realize that a change is needed, and contribute in whatever small or big ways we can.Nimisha Agrawalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862468282764143505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628948255039211186.post-133468972591232592012-02-11T00:15:57.021+05:302012-02-11T00:15:57.021+05:30I love this!
