Take flight...

A developing Nation.
A potential super power.
A sleeping tiger.
And the very famous tag line… India Poised.

Does it all stop there? We know we are capable. We know we have potential. We know we are poised. Why not take flight?
We do not have to do great things, just simple things that will have bigger effects in the course of time.
Here are some things that any of us can do.

1.Vote. It is a right. Exercise it. As I read somewhere,
"Bad leaders are elected by good people who don’t vote.”

2.Not depending on the municipality to keep our areas clean. Gather people on a weekend and sweep the place clean. Keep a trash bag handy, or use a public trash can.

3.Volunteer for community service frequently.

4.Walk short distances. If you must use a vehicle, use a cycle or an e-bike. I know one person cannot change things, but it is a start.

5.Become a citizen journalist. Report to newspapers, what happens in the locality.

6.Find out one change that is necessary in the country; find out if you can do something about it. Team up with like minded people for the same.

7.Questions your grandparents about heritage and culture. Make sure you follow family traditions.

8.Recycle. There are many ways. Google and learn.

9.Do a good deed or an act of kindness just to know what it feels like.

10.Get to know your neighbors.


Good citizenship goes beyond just doing the above, it is all about striving persistently to make the country a better place to live in.
