To dream or to do?

An unfortunate legacy imposed on every Indian and more so a bong ever since one is born. Why does it always have to be a choice between Gandhi or Subhash? The fight for ideologies totally defeats the purpose. It isn't about respective success or failure either.

Both men had a dream and had the courage to follow through on it in whichever fashion they saw fit. That was all it was. The hype needs to be cut out at some point. So why not now?

Ideological justifications are for the lazy and weak-hearted. It is easiest to hide behind the excuse of ideology.

Our generation can do better. Our actions and not choices make us who we are. It is up to us therefore, to move out of this tragic situation and commit to doing rather than resting on past laurels.
