Where do you want to be?

Do you know that in any given population 90% of the people will be mute spectators to most events around them? These people can also be called the silent majority. They just carry on with their lives. They generally tend to be followers. We can also call them the changers. They change according to the situation. They are the people who buy what others want them to buy. They see what others want them to see. They read what others want them to read. In other words they do what others are doing or not doing. They either like or wait to be told what to do or what not to do.

Why should politicians have all the fun?

Everybody knows that politicians and their supporters do not manufacture any product nor provide any services that they sell to buyers to earn money. Yet they have huge reserves of funds. Political parties say that they get donations from well wishers. They say that this money is spent on the functioning of their party and upkeep of their party offices, for organizing/conducting various political events and other expenses. It is unclear whether members are paid salaries as well or they get a share of the amount they are able to collect from the public (through donations obviously).

A new beginning or the beginning of the end.

I don’t know where it will lead us to but if something has started then let it start even though the protests are yet to take a statewide status with participants from all groups – majority and minority (religious and linguistic). 

I am not and do not presume to be a know it all or a pseudo intellectual. I am what I am because of the times and surroundings I have been living. I have formed my opinions and beliefs based on my interactions (however few they may be) with different people. My opinion (which may or may not be different from the facts) is that the common people and even many so called intellectuals do not have any idea about who is an Assamese.
