thank you Team Anna

i am a common man, a person with no big goals, with no big concerns. i earn my living to fulfill my and my family's needs. i do love my Nation, but i didn't devote time and energy for its betterment. Yes, because i am a common man. No one told me about my responsibilities, no one taught me my duties, it was not even in my syllabus.

i read newspapers, i watch TV news, i even discuss things with my friends apart from our usual talks. No one expect us to protest, its the work of political parties & organizations. No one wants us to protest, ours is a democratic system where we can vote our government, that's all.

i pay bribe to get a "birth certificate", i pay bribe to get a passport, i pay bribe to get a train reservation, i pay bribe to a traffic constable. All this is part of my routine & part of our system, i suppose, so i don't complain.

i see an elected leader (Parshad, Sarpanch, MLA, MP, etc) growing rich & richer rapidly. May be God gets kind on them & luck favors them or they get a "magic wand" once they win. Whatever, i didn't complain, that's not my duty.

Now who is this Anna Hazare & Team Anna? Why have they awakened our Youth & every Bharatiya i/c Me? Why i am liking this added duty to work for MY Nation & make it corruption free? All this has given me a self-esteem and "i" have grown to become "I". Now on, I will work to make my Bharat corruption free so that MY Bharat develops much faster & eradicates poverty and bring down prices. And yes, I want MY money back from foreign banks ASAP.

I am part of this new Bharat, thank you Team Anna..
