Apart from forcing govt to involve civil society in the lokpal bill to strangle corruption,Anna does something very special. Its how his movement forced the govt of a billion to budge that is unfathomable and yet very inspirational.
Anna's movement shows a way to be fearless and persistent not only in the comfort of one's own space but also in front of the mightiness of historical heavy handedness and lethargy. And that separates the one rallying behind from the one leading from the front.I along with my nation backed him without even literally reading the bill at the first place.
I know if it has anything to do with rooting out the evil in my society I can afford atleast an 18/18 faith in anyone who does that . I am not seeing the mahatma out of Anna Hazare but I am happy for him being what he is for the past 4 days.

World Cup 2011-What it means?
Even a week after winning the world cup, the memory of the moment remains fresh. It will linger for weeks to come. Apart from the fact that we won the biggest tournament, the win did a lot of other things which rarely happens to me or to my country.
It brought a sense of previously unmatched euphoria and a surreal satisfaction. Just imagine the calm that follows such feelings.
The joy contains a personal satisfaction of seeing the team win a jinxed tournament, something I longed for ages since I took over my senses. But more than that the euphoria had a collective quotient which made it extra special. Suddenly everyone is happy for real and the mind is without doubts. And we revel in each others joy.
It was a national catharsis made of a billion individual catharsis as if the winning shot, like a guillotine, killed the national pain and an unending wait at one stroke.
We need a lot more of them as an individual and a nation.
