Being Proactive...!!!

How important is being proactive?, And the answers lies in the recent playscript created by the terror groups in Mumbai “the 26/11”. I condemn, and everyone condemns the massacre. It shows the failure of our security system which was fenced by our incompetent bunch of politicians, who are filling up their pockets with same money allocated for our security and defense system. Security is major concern today and it is because, unlikely the other developed nation who follow “Murphy’s Law” for their security system which says "if anything can go wrong, it will”, we in our nation prefer to be reactive by following “let the things happen, we will fight against it”. The time is now to change our attitude, rather then getting prepared for the post security breach consequence handling; we should have more emphasis on our higher level security measure as “prevention is better than cure”.

What has happened in Mumbai is an utter shameful event in the history of India, with the leading steps toward becoming the superpower we have no control to bar such events. Every now and then a handful of people trespass the fence without any hassle and bomb fearlessly killing 100s of people. Mumbai is so vulnerable these days that we no longer remember it as the financial capital of India, rather it can better be recognized as the scared land of terror attacks. This is not the only example showing how pro-active is our government, we can count some more like – There is no proper traffic arrangement and infrastructure build even after 2 years of the 1 Lakh care launch announcement by the leading automobile manufactures; No energy measures taken place yet knowing the fact that India in growing and energy will be the top most priority, except the one recent nuclear deal; There is no steps taken toward the cast reservation policy which is leading the nation towards a never ending internal dispute; and many more.

This is the time to change the mindset from reactive to proactive. This is the time to think of future, because our future is going to be our present and we are looking forward for a peaceful present.

Being proactive is the only way…!!!
