The land’s citizens, after soaking themselves with the rhetoric sumptuously served by the contestants in the polls to the nation’s Parliament and Legislative Assemblies of few States over the past weeks ending with the formation of Governments and choice of Ministers in the respective Cabinets have moved from talking phase to tasking phase. The Prime Minister’s Office is reported to be receiving millions of congratulatory messages from people across the country in various languages. A cell is learnt to have been set up with the task of replying to every message within seven minutes. That pleasant conversation phase is sure to yield place one of reminding the powers that be about the plethora of problems bugging the country as a mass and the people in distinct sections of the population, some national and some others regional on well-marked counts. The air is abuzz with seasoned commentators on the nation’s economic health pointing out two major tasks to be addressed without any let up namely a) Jobs for both educated youth and unskilled sections and b) Resolving agrarian crisis, particularly measures to prevent exodus of village residents to urban spaces.
The principle of perceiving every problem as an opportunity in life to act and make living more comfortable for both individuals and family yields to be complied with if one concentrates on not adding to the problems on hand or making every problem more problematic. This applies to both the country and its diaspora in the context of self-created tight situations.
