Hey ZC, quite a healthy change from someone who is a staunch believer in the “kuch nahi ho saktha” dictum and who would lose no opportunity to rip apart any soul indulging in or entertaining thoughts or actions associated even remotely with idealism or optimism or progressivism or positivism as “funda dena”! Well, keep it up and coming.
<br>
<br>Though the list is quite sublime, for a change, can I have the prerogative of pessimistic questioning – kya yeh ho saktha hai? Remember, we will keep tabs of the date and watch the progress and also make it a point to read and watch news on Eenadu/Gemini/Vartha;)
<br>
<br>Back to the list - 1, 11 and 14 are good and only ones that I thought reflect progressivism and gel with what we stand for. They are practical, plausible and in the right direction and most importantly don’t involve initiation of any belligerent actions. The rest, especially the surnames stuff - not in a thousand years! Aren’t these boards providing enough evidence about how compassionate we are when it comes to religion, caste, language? Moreover, it’s an infringement on personal rights, choices and preferences – not at all practical in a thriving democracy. 4, 5 and 6 – its just a matter of few years – with ever increasing population and depleting resources – these avenues will definitely be explored. As for the buses, it’s a trivial issue to be clubbed with matters of utmost concern. Anyway, we are definitely not zealous of shedding of our youth’s blood just to put a stop to an inane action. As for the arguments in the buses – well that’s what used to add the spice to an otherwise drab journey!
