Exciting. Revolutionary. Heroic.
Those are the words that come to my mind today. Its as if I am not only going to witness, but play a role, however small, in creating history. From today I have decided to dedicate a 100 days for the aam aadmi of this country.
Its not all of a sudden. The fire has been burning for a long time, ignited about 2.5 years back. But yes, on Sunday, December the 8th, the nationalist emotions went through the roof. It's not just me - but many friends who usually keep a safe distance from politics - who on this super Sunday, watched Aam Aadmi Party's leads with the same excitement as we would follow the score in India's World Cup final match.
It is almost clear at this stage that Delhi is going to see a new kind of government in a few days. As all of us watch the events unfold in Delhi, I, sitting here in Mumbai am thinking - if Delhi can create such fireworks, what will happen if this were to happen at the national scale! Gives me goose bumps!
But it won't happen at the national scale. Not in six months time. I needn't even cite the reasons why. But can it happen in my lifetime? Bloody yes, it can! I will make it happen. If Arvind can dream big and make it happen, why can't I? Who is Arvind after all? Is he a super man? No, he is just like me. A common man. Just that this time this common man shed all his fears.
So here I am, beginning the countdown to this exciting journey. Don't know what I will do, who I will meet, where I will go in the next three months. But I am ready to have the best time of my life!
