Let Us Rebuild India
Yes, let us rebuild India and this time on our terms.
It was exactly two weeks back that our country was shaken by 10 armed maniacs running loose in Mumbai. And probably for the first time we all came together in such a large number to see & feel our unity with the zeal to do something. We have already started taking a path or at least moving in the direction.
I was happy to see a trust being formed for the martyrs; and their families getting Rs 25000/- PM for next five years. Most of the people involved in this applaudable gesture are young entrepreneurs who wish to remain anonymous. As you all know TATA’s have also formed a trust to help victims of the shootout and the first beneficiary has already been identified whose hospital bill will be footed by them. It’s another thing that I wished they could have chosen a poor family.
But this is not all.
We need to do something more so that 26/11 does not happen again.
And we have started it as well in the form of “Rebuild India”. This is based on the suggestions and opinions collected from bloggers who possess a sound knowledge of the Indian administrative system. These bloggers include prominent business personalities, administrative experts, media professionals, socialists, socialites and of course the most important sect i.e. the common man. You can see some of my points making to the list as well. 
Based on these practical, implementable 10 pts, an online survey is being conducted. I urge all of you to participate in this to give this initiative a shape and if you want to read before casting your opinion please click here.
The survey comprises of 17 questions, it will hardly take 2 minutes to respond to. Since the survey consists of proposed action steps as options, I suggest you to check over each option mentioned to gain valuable perspective before casting your votes.
The motive behind conducting this survey is to get the suggestions presented by bloggers, certified by general internet users. So, please do not waste your vote.
Participate and be a part of the rebuilding process. Go to voting page here and let me know if you have voted. I am waiting here.
And spread the word as far as possible, request others to participate as well. I have done my part and now it’s your turn.
P.S.- There is so much to write about that I can easily fall into a routine of a daily post but have been busy writing a few articles for some NGOs and such besides my regular routine job. I know people are desperately waiting for my travel articles as well, but they do understand my situation. One more teaser, eh ? 
Will reply to all your comments on earlier posts ASAP, I have read them all. Thank you very much.
Keep the heat on, let them coming.. .. more & more. With or without Cuckoo, it should not matter.
And right now I am listening to this old song. I know I know, totally out of context but sometimes that is how life is.
Keep smiling.

Ashraf, Ashes
Thank you. Have you guided others as well ?
Peter,
I don’t think you are disqualified but it is essentially for Indians who want to see a change in the system. You can try voting, at least you can see the questions. It won’t take more than two minutes.
Thank you.
