It was Sunday evening, the weekend was coming to end. I was sitting in front of Television set watching those usual boring programs. I was feeling like to go out for evening walk but my laziness prevented me from doing any action. I spent few minutes lying on the sofa pretending to watch the Television program. Then my wife called me, she was doing something in the terrace of our flat. I was irritated, my laziness protested to move and I respected it promptly. Finally my wife came to me hurriedly and took me to the terrace by literally pulling my hand. When I reached the terrace, I was silent for a moment. I took my camera and rushed to the top of our seven storey building. Would you like to find out why I was speechless?
Thousands of people on the streets, without any leadership, without any political influence, demanding for the Jan-Lokapal bill, a bill that will ultimately control and cure the cancer of corruption in India. Yesterday, I came back from a candle march organized by few organizations in my city, Pune. I felt as if I was watching any Bollywood film, I felt as if I was in dreams, it was unbelievable, I could feel the enthusiasm of the people, giving the slogans against the corrupt politicians, corrupt bureaucrats and corrupt system. There were the young collage students, there were employees, there were pensioners, in short there were people from all backgrounds, agitating by holding candles in support of Mr. Anna Hazare, who was on fast till last hour, for the demand of Jan-Lokpal bill and the victory was ours, it was the victory of India again after 'cricket world cup', when government agreed for all the five demands raised by Mr. Anna Hazare. I remember...
