Like any other blog this one too is a medium of self expression, born largely out of my angst at my inability to influence social change. Just like any common man on street, I have felt voiceless in the day to day grind of everyday life. I have been often plagued by the nauseating feeling of seeing wrong being done but being unable to stop, prevent or change it. This blog will help voice my concerns, vent my ideas and shape my thoughts.
The idea for this blog came from my first ever blog post – A Glass Half Empty. The post dealt with the myriad of holes & leakages in our systems leading to a loot of government exchequer. Corruption today is reaching monumental proportions. Just like the Freedom Movement of the 40s and the Economic Liberalisation of 90s, our nation today is in the need of a basic paradigm shift. Freedom from Corruption will impact all facets of our society and will catapult us into an orbit of mature nationhood.
But can a blog lead us to our dream of “Corruption Free India”? I believe it can…tune in to this blog for taking the fight to the enemies’ doorsteps.
Let the fight begin….
Hi, great initiative. I congratulate you on this one and am looking forward to read your posts in the near future. Do visit my blog @ http://www.youthkiawaaz.com. Hope to stay in touch with you for long.
Cheers.
An excellent blog. Jai Bihar team resonates with your articles and would like to publish some of them on our website http://www.jaibihar.com. Your consent will be highly appreciated as corruption is an issue that we believe is restricting Bihar’s development.

Hi,
I am Pradnya and I have been reading your blog and following it quite regularly. Your blog makes for very interesting reading.
I am writing to you with reference to Tata Tea’s Jaago Re movement – a movement that I represent. The Jaago Re campaign was initiated in the year 2007 and the objective of this campaign was to initiate social awakening amongst Indians. The Jaago Re campaign made a great impact with the ‘One Billion Votes’ campaign and are currently targeting corruption with the ‘Khilana Band, Pilana Shuru’ drive.
Recently, Tata Tea has re-launched its flagship website http://www.jaagore.com. The portal which was, for the last one year, an online hot spot for aspiring voters to register and obtain all information related to Voter Registration, will now stand for social awakening in a broader sense. Jaago Re as a campaign has targeted the youth of the nation, urging them to take a stand on various issues such as voting and corruption and do their bit – thereby encouraging them to ‘be the change they want to see’.
What makes http://www.jaagore.com unique is that it facilitates the flow of information and resources between individuals / groups / organizations – by bringing together, onto a common platform, those who possess information and resources and those who need them. NGOs can list themselves on the site, thereby making their presence felt with individuals who would like to work with them. On the other hand, individuals who wish to do their bit for society can volunteer their services with an organization of their choice.
It would be great if you can help us support us by spreading the word on Jaago Re’s initiative through your blog. Hopefully readers of your blog, both NGOs and individuals alike, would be inspired enough to join the initiative.
For any further details do visit http://www.jaagore.com or you can contact me and I would be glad to help.
Take care,
Pradnya Adhikari
