Lajja Se Mare Re Yeh Jiya...

When I realise I had a vote and I wasted it.

When I remember the old lady who no one offered a place to sit on a crowded bus.

When I see the contrast in neatness inside and outside my flats compound wall.

When I find people starving to death for causes that no one listens to.

When I see children running around in bare feet with runny noses, playing on the roads when they should be in school.

When I see the man in faded patched trousers in the supermarket try and explain to his son why he cannot have chips which the other kid is eating.

When I see people spit on the roads.

When I see people flee.

When I see people grudge their driver/servant a few cubes of ice from their fridge as they sleep in air conditioned comfort.

When I see the gender ratio.

When I see tree stumps where trees one stood.

When [V] proves consistantly that people cannot name their President or sing the National Song.

Yes. I do feel for some things too.

you have added a lot of spice to the title...

why are u so angry...

just vote is not enough...

start off with something apart from complaining....

anger never gets job done....nor does it give any direction your point....
