We are Indian youth studying abroad.
From our villages and metropolises we travel far and wide in educational and professional pursuits ; to make ourselves more adept, more worldly wise.
So many miles away from home...and it feels like in some strange sense, we are an endangered species in a land where we find ourselves huddling as a family of "resident aliens".
As a matter of realisation, this distance in geography works in inverse proportion with our sense of belonging with our origins.
Here - alone and together, we are one.
We are one voice, one thought, one sentiment,
We are one in our affectations, our pain, our triumphs and our experiences.
As students of the very institution of life, as citizens of humankind, as individuals whose hearts beat to the rhythm of a collective consciousness;we are growing more wakeful each day. More restless to bring about a change. To remain hopeful, positive. To shape our endeavors in ways that will benefit our world.
The series of terrorist attacks across India and the most current blow to Mumbai city have unsettled and strengthened our spirits alike.
Our faith in the goodness of the world has escalated. Our faith in our selves is evolving.
We remain God fearing yet ready to be summoned at a call for immediate action.
There is way too much chaos in our world and thus,a greater need for optimism. For clarity and justice in idea and deed alike.
Terror lasts only for a day but Peace is eternal. And Peace, in essence is Love.
We salute those who have dedicated their lives in service to society.
We root for those who are able to see method in the madness.
Our role models are victors who have triumphed to Love through Virtue not Violence.
We are Indian youth living abroad.
We are passionate by blood and we shall overcome, we shall overcome until there is nothing but Peace,Love and Tranquility in this world.
with the warmth of a 1000 candles,
