now, i’m really feeling it
May 25, 2006when i heard that reservations are official, the feeling of deja vu; that feeling of doom hit me.
but then i figured that it doesn’t really matter… protests will happen, hunger strikes and everything; and eventually it’ll all die down.time heals; i think. or makes you apathetic and cynical.
thats how it works. all over the bloody planet.
not.
IIT-bombay students, people i know, are on hunger strikes. doctors are still on strike. medical students in delhi are protesting actively, preventing interviews; making themselves heard. rallies. door-to-door canvassing. everything possible.
the country is not giving up.
and even as i type this, goosebumps prickle, spirits rise - i want to be there, i want to strike, to protest; to make myself heard.
a spirit that used to exist in india, that fuelled a revolution 50 years ago has received a shot of adrenalin. i thought indians have become apathetic, given up on a system that has been systematically taken apart; away from its original ideas - that does not work anymore.
apparently not.
inquilab is back.
inquilab zindabad.
Hey Sev. You know that really, really reminds me of
Sanjana | May 26, 2006Hey Sev. You know that really, really reminds me of Severus Snape from Harry Potter? Hee.
And Inquilab Zindabad indeed. However, where I am, we aren’t feeling it at all. Everyone’s so whatever about it, it’s kinda sad
It’s good though, to see people protest about something they dont want
