When Confidence Speaks…

by Vijay Anand

It’s a day of strike today here in TamilNadu and it’s a wonderful day to drive – though everybody is a little scared to go out and do that. The ruling party is protesting against the stay on reservations.

I’ve heard both sides of the story, and there are cases for and against it. Well, my statement is simple. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped, and you cant help them without hurting someone who really needs that help. When we get to a point when we (and I mean as a nation) refuse hand-outs and are confident that we can gain that and more on our own hard work, thats when we have any chance at all to get somewhere. We are simply pathetic and whining until then, crying rivers about our woes, as if no one else in the world is suffering.

What a waste of a perfectly good day!
