I want to see a Future Where:

I want to see a future where every child goes to school after which he gets a job. There should be no more street urchins doing menial jobs or begging on the streets. The law of the land should be followed. There should be no need for the Anna Hazare types to keep the nation captivated.

People should wake up in the morning to go to their jobs, where they will work to their best of their ability. They should know that they will be rewarded for the hard work they put in. They should also be aware that they will be punished if their performance is not up to the mark.

Turning the light switch will mean that the room will be lightened. No more erratic power supply will be tolerated. The factories will be humming and should be manufacturing stuff that will be proudly sold in other countries. Electricity will be generated by nonpolluting means.

The power should be with the people. The thugs and the rascals will find a place in the jails, and politics will become a way to serve the people.

The infrastructure will be robust and no “Chalta Hai” attitude will be tolerated. There should be health care available to all. Senior citizens will be loved and respected by all. The fire fighter or the policeman will be looked upon as the real heroes by all. The movie crowd will be simply actors or actresses, not hero or heroines, as we presently know them.

These are few of the things I am looking. These are not impossible. We have to bring the change. I know we can do it.

Yes, we can- Tanvir Salim
