I 've always been very patriotic. I love my country but the pathetic conditions around just make me sick to the stomach.

So many campaigns begin and try to make a difference and yet we reach back to square one. What is it that makes us Indians such a stubborn race, why do we fail to see the change that is beckoning us.

I can list our achievements too but the thing is that one look at our society and all the development can be thrown out of the window.

Why is it that our country is still so dirty, that foetuses are still murdered and that red lights still don't work...

As cliched as it may sound I want to make a difference, to make India a better place. Maybe it is the small things that we should start with...

But will it ever work or will I just become one of those cynical adults who complain and do nothing about anything...
