With new hopes and new dreams we welcome this Year 2014.
With a new government in place, with their new rules & methodologies, this year marks the beginning of a revolution. It fills us with triumph that the coveted change will now happen, because the time is so apt for this change - awareness in people is at peak, with mass movements at Jantar Mantar and Ram Lila Maidan without any provocation.
Senior corporate leaders are chucking up prized jobs and teaming up against corruption to make a difference. V Balakrishnan, the Infosys board member, Meera Sanyal, the Harvard Business School-educated head of Royal Bank of Scotland, Adarsh Shastri, grandson of former Indian Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and head of sales for Apple in western India, to name a few. And this is just the beginning.
Remember the epic stories our grandmothers, or at least it is said so, used to narrate in our childhood - where a god sent Avatar was born to rescue the oppressed. And here comes a modern Avatar – simple yet vigilant, practical and armed with education, taking calculative decisions to force a checkmate against the corrupt.
With fresh minds pouring in creative ideas, we are no short of Steve Jobs or Bill Gates turning into Nelson Mandela if needed. But the need of the hour is to correct our system and the victory shall follow in all streams of life. We can multiply the impact ten times by hitting the right node at the right time and there cannot be a better time than NOW.
Strive on to the mission started, for the road might be bumpy but the end is not far.
