I wish to see my Country full of Happy people playing the role of Citizens exercising their democratic rights, building up a strong edifice with firm foundations. I wish to see a Government governing the people and not playing games with each other. I wish to see men and women of character instead of fragile specimens refusing to exercise their voting rights to bring the Right people to govern us.
Inspite of being the biggest democracy in the World, our stature is small in every field. We can become big only if everyone of us gets involved in man-making and Nation-building. With will and optimism we can achieve what we have not captured so far. The goal should be a Nation marching forwards, growing upwards to be respected by ourselves and the whole World around us!
