My grandson Aarnav is a big fan of Narendra Modi ji. Along with us , he always made it a point to sit with us and listen to our PMs speeches.
He keeps talking to us about what he wants to become when he grows up. Mostly being a Captain ( pilot) of his own Airline.
But today, while we were driving back from the old Airport it had to be slow because of extremely poor roads and resultant close footpaths and the slums, dirt , broken abandoned cars/ autos etc.
All of a sudden he made his announcement. “ Paa (that’s me ), I will become the PM of India. I will make India clean.”
But you will have to do so many things when you become the Prime Minister, my wife told him. He was very quick to reply, “Maa , when I get India clean , everything will be okay. I will also get down to get India clean “.
I was just thinking; even a 51/2 year old boy understands the usefulness of the clean up our PM Shri Narendra Modi ji is trying to do. He is concentrating on cleaning up the land and also the system.
May be Aarnav is not aware of our PM’s next item on his agenda; to make India and Indians FIT, not only physically but emotionally and economically too.
My suggestion to our PM is to start introducing both the above programs to Children and youth. They will appreciate it and go with him. Elders have too many questions and doubts ( we can’t blame them; they have been turned like that for a long time; living in a helpless and indifferent society ).
