Let’s get united again

Many a times, I feel that our country is better defined as a collection of un-united states than one with unity in diversity. The demands for new states everyday and the politics for the heck of it are nothing new. Every time I feel convinced that we are the next super power, something that our policy makers do throws us 50 yrs back. Today I am scribbling (read cribbing) on something our leaders are not doing. I am cribbing because the government is unable to sign the nuclear deal. I don’t understand that if a layman like me can understand its importance, how can the great leaders miss it? When Vajpayee’s dream can be the six lane national highway, how can he miss this dream of nuclear power for energy needs? I don’t even understand how my heart breaker CPM reads USA in the whole deal? For a moment every time, I wonder if any country has been happy with communism and socialism. Isn’t it sham for dictatorship? May be it’s just a pseudo representation of China, our not so friendly neighbour.

Well here goes a silent prayer hoping against hope that our dear leaders find unity in this one.
