It’s a real “Good Morning”
Posted : May 7, 2004 at 8:58 pm [IST]
Normally I get up any time at 3 to 4 in the morning (AM). My grand father inculcated in me this habit of early rising. Time and again, he used to remind me in my student days- ‘early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’. I do not know whether I got all that it claims to bestow, but it became a way of my life. Even when I worked for 12 to 16 hours going to bed very late, I got up almost same time always. I never had to take the help of alarm or wake up calls. Today when I do not have any professional obligation, it has become easier. Even if I feel like, I can not sleep for more number of hours. Nowadays, when I get up and go for surfing the news sites as a hobby, I get a real feel of ‘good morning’. It gives me a feel of ‘India shining’ almost every day in plenty. I mention some from a single day in this week.

Is it not a reason good enough for a happy and bright morning? A real change has come in India in last two years. The mood in the country is different. The consumers are happy. I come from a very much backward village, but there is one family who is so called poor category. Let me confess I do not doubt the number of people below the poverty line in this country of billion plus population. However, there seems to be exuberance in atmosphere. It reveals the new confidences of a nation on go. It can not be that media has started reporting more positive news. Actually, the media still looks for more marketable hot news of corruptions, bigamy, and rapes as usual. If it covers the achievers in different areas, the generation in making can decide about their role models. And it is not for only a day that you a number of such good news. Almost every day the good news is increasingly appearing in media. I wish the shine of the nation becomes brighter by days. I foresee that all healthy and able persons from all over the country add to this shine by their hard work and contribute by improving their efficiency and productivity at work. After all, all that adds up to achieve a higher GDP growth for the country. The future belongs to India. How long Indians go on talking of other nations, sometimes UK, and then USA, followed by Japan, Korea and now China as the role models? Let us work for making India the leader and let other countries look at us as their benchmark.
And suddenly I see a window blinking on the screen. Anand is on line, on his IM and is a click away from us. I see nothing but a ‘Good Morning’ around me.
