I Have A Dream...

Thank you, Dr.Martin Luther King jr. for the abundance of positive energy today.

 It is the 50th year of the iconic ‘I have a dream’ speech of King, and even though half a century has elapsed, the powerful words of this brilliant orator still exudes the same influence and motivation as before.

Come to think of it, isn’t there a raw power in his words, ‘I have a dream’? I felt so, especially as I read through his speech this morning. I just love hearing powerful orators who motivate and inspire and I must say that I was roused by the powerful words of this timeless orator, who filled me up with hope and goodness, not mention a wonderful energy.

I know I am just an insignificant, common citizen of this nation, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming and hoping… for better days to come.

I dream that one day, we would be living in a corruption free land where people are not influenced in any manner by money or fame or any other criteria.

I dream that one day we will enjoy democracy in its truest form, and will be led by educated and enterprising leaders who will lead our nation to pinnacles of glory.

I dream that one day my country will not be divided on the basis of caste, creed, color, sex, religion, or political affiliation.

I dream that one day all Indians respect each other’s rituals and religions and live happily in tolerance.

I dream that one day we will learn to value and adhere to the laws of the land.

I dream that one day women would be treated with respect and will not be looked upon as mere objects of man’s lust.

I dream that one day my country would be self sufficient in its agricultural produce and that my countrymen would never go hungry.

I dream that one day our children would respect nature and its bounty, and replenish this land with the greenery that it deserves.

It is my hope, it is my faith, that one day the future would be ours. But instead of dreaming alone, why don’t we make it a collective dream and steadily work towards it?

Join me in my dreams… United we can!!!
