I am a great follower and I really mean it. Being a true citizen of India, I inherit certain qualities which, I believe, are the very basic birth-rights of a person born in this country. Everyone here is a great follower and I am not an exception. We have nothing original, nothing new, not a single idea except the mathematical concept of zero, discovered around 650AD. Since then, we have nothing new about which we can boast. Starting from our government’s policies, its structure, each idea here is either adopted or stolen form others. It is little bit complicated, whether we follow democracy as in other countries like US, UK (where a person’s social position depends on his merit) or we have communism like in China (or USSR), where a person is restricted to use his merit for his personal gain beyond a given limit. Actually we follow both ideologies; we are democratic as well as communist. But it is not the matter of concern whether we are democratic or communist. We are great follower and great thieves ,story ends up here. Instead of saying follower, I should rather use “sidekick” to describe Indians better.
I read The White Tiger, by Arvind Adiga a few months before .He writes “We Indians are a great follower of Lord Hanuman, a super sidekick of Lord Rama. We are trained to worship Hanuman from our early age and so we are trained to be a sidekick from very tender age.”
(Sorry folks, this is my perception of Indians and if it is causing any resentful displeasure, don’t be reluctant on telling me. Keeping in the mind that I am a great follower, you can think I am a great follower of Adiga too.)
Extending my belief in followership, I decided to be the part of blog-writing rat race. Everyone is writing blog today, everyone is sharing his views on anarchism, monarchism, democracy, communism, music, love, films, his own life etc .Then why shouldn’t I???
So I decided to write my own blog. But what I should write, frankly I don’t know. I don’t know about various “ism” like anarchism, communism, monarchism etc and I don’t even have a good taste of music. I don’t know which song lands up in which genre. I enjoy movies a lot.
