India of My Dreams

I love my India and want it to be the best in the world. It has the talent and capability. The state has constantly deteriorated in last six decades. The downfall is due to low quality, incompetent and corrupt leadership, unaccountable, equally corrupt bureaucracy and ineffective judiciary unable to fulfil people's aspirations resulting in unparalleled corruption and lawlessness. Drastic changes are necessary to make systems vibrant and responsive to make it an India of every Indian's dreams.

A country that refuses to respect its armed forces will eventually end up getting forces that will not respect the nation

Dear Col Anand,

You are doing fabulous job for your country and for your men in uniform. I am an ex Jawan. Officers on retirement should join you and ask for good welfare for active/serving people as well as ex service personnel. If our active soldiers are looked after well, automatically our numbers will increase a lot, and we all would follow the leaders for doing good deeds towards the entire defence forces.

Dear Col Anand,

I was so overwhelmed to visit your blog spot which i happened to browse while browsing for some articles on India's festivals and their diversified colours. I must say, your blog is like a Hub of well written master pieces, a conglomerate of ideas and views which are free, frank and positive in outlook.

I am an editor of an English weekly which has its circulation around the world. I will be happy to be associated with your blog by being a regular reader.

With kind respects, our country surely needs graceful people like you.

Hello!

I just want to thank you for your wonderful blog indiamydreamland.blogspot.com.

I read the post "Secularism Vs Religious Fanatism - Part II" and then I spent another hour on your blog by reading your posts with pleasure :) Every article is interesting and easy to read. I really like the "Warriors on the Front".
I work for Jooble company, we aggregate job adverts around the world.

My job is to persuade bloggers to link to our site.
I really love my job! We have a friendly team and good management, but unfortunately I have no idea how to convince a blogger to link to us, I'm afraid I might lose my job because of it.

And that is why, instead of sending letters to thousands of different blogs, I am reading yours.

Honestly, I am not really sure if the link to our website in India - jooble.co.in, will be appropriate for your blog, but if you believe it will and it is possible to add it, I would be really grateful to you! Our site is really cool, it can greatly help hundreds of people to find jobs.

I wish you to have a good day and excellent mood! Thanks again for your nice blog. Write more! Thanks!
P.S. I am a Leo by zodiac sign too.
