The essence of change - never say die

The essence of change is to never say die....there may be many dormant moments...many a pregnant pauses....but never say die

So here likes KKH - a project we jointly concieved and dreamt of...a project that was so furiously debated and discussed at Prithvi...a project that moved from your hands to mine...and then just fizzled...

Is it dead? yes, its as dead as the seeds of grass....the seeds that wait for the right season and then when the times right...they bloom

I've not called the seeds dead yet...and I wont throw them away...will keep them close to me, to my heart...coz i know in some form or the other....today, tomorrow or whenever the weather is right...they shall bloom....

Kyonki the fact is ke mujhe Kuch karna hai...I really want to do something....the itch is still there...unscratched....

Is it finally time for me to Move?

Change..well in most cases it seems like an idea far-fetched and always lingering in the immediate or distant future. It's amazing how so many of us have started looking what we have around us as always the fault of others...and believe me I am no exception to this...I have what is called Blog-lethargy..or lets just say lethargy in general..

This project to me means a lot more than just social change..it indicates that personal movement that I have pushed away for so long...For too long I have told myself that ," It will happen when it is meant to...all the change I always want to see will take it sown course". And, you know what, as strange as it may sound and seem..The concept of being a cosmic blip doesn't appeal to me anymore..I need to move for whatever it's worth and see what is it that moves me enough to want to change..

So here I am..sharing my inhibitions in an attempt to shed them and Move..

Kuch Karna Hai

"Kuch Karna Hai!"

Its a thought that crosses my head every now and then....everytime I see something that needs to be different....everytime I watch the TV beam yet another communal clash.... each time the power goes off in Gurgaon....

But each time this thought comes, I am scared of it.... I let it pass. I hope it will die. Sometimes I try to defeat it using rational argument and logic. At other times I simply laugh it away. And yet other times I let it die its own death by not acting on it.

The entire process of change begins with this simple thought....and yet the world seems so huge that my effort seems to be a mere drop in the pond....why waste my life away on doing all this? Dont I have a career, friends and so much more to go back to?

And thus the cycle goes on.....on and on.... sometimes I scoff at others who are doing something....other times I join in the cribbing of those who don't....

But all along, deep within me is this voice that wants me to do something.... A voice that says that it doesnt matter what my contribution is, its the act of getting started.....it is a voice that I cant deny exists....and it has been for a long long time....

So I ask myself....dont others think the same way too? Dont you too have a teensy weensy voice within yourself that talks to you....tells you that you should do something rather than continue with this forced apathy?

I believe there are many of us who hear this voice....and though each of us want to change something different, there are similarities in the entire process of change....

So why not come together....why not bring all those who want to do something, and help each other get started - with whatever resources they need....contacts....funds...planning...direction..... There is enough help around....there are enough people around....there is enough that needs to be changed around as well....

All you need to do perhaps is to pause.....slow down.....feel deeply enough....and then hear that teensy weensy voice that says..... "Kuch Karna Hai!"
