The first hand comes up.

While the most of us turn around in our slumber, some only from those nightmarish 56 hrs of Mumbai carnage. Our hearts swell with undescribeable emotions, as we share that the first hand to be a part of this initiative is up. A lady, from a leading, global IT firm wrote to us expressing her desire to be a part of this initiative. We salute her spirit and welcome her with open arms.

Having said that, first and foremost, we would like to thank all of you for having contributed through your comments, thoughts and initiation in spreading the message in whichever way you could. Not to forget, going through this post, as well.
Here are some of our thoughts. Hope these answer some of the questions and few comments here.

To begin with, we thought we had an idea in the interest of the nation. Holding it back to ourselves seemed like a crime. And next we knew, it was up in the public domain. Right from the word go, we were aware that we could and would give it our best. And, that the realization of this idea was in our fellow Indians’, your hands. We had a strong belief that it was now or never.
The idea is in the public domain now, staring at some of you. Maybe, asking a few more questions. Maybe getting lost in the rhythm of your stride.
The idea would evolve on its own in the coming days. So, would the vision, objectives and the works. And, you and your participation alone would determine that. What we have put up can be considered a start. The core problem and the solution to it that we have discussed can be considered the epicenter.
Our initiative is to think constructively and work towards solutions. As mentioned in our first post, we would reiterate again, that we do not endorse boycotting polls or taxes. A repoll eventually ends up emptying the taxpayers’ pocket, not to say that the option should not be debated or simply ruled out. To us, that is not a solution. We are here to look for solutions, not makeshift options. If today we blame our politicians, we need to look within. We sure are to find we deserve them. Don’t we need to face this? They are from amongst us. One of us. Let’s not point fingers at each other. Let us take one step forward and be aware that, till we stand up for ourselves, all we can do is turn in our sleep.
