The ANT Story!!!

Here I come "Bade Dinon Baad!!"......Truely speaking it was a long drab hiatus since my pen last rolled and my mind emerged from inaction. I would like to remind myself that this is a time of "Lent". Forty days of penance and sacrifice, but have I really lived upto it..this is a persitent question disturbing me as I know there's no one but me to blame... So in my next piece I do talk of life , the anticlines and the synclines and of course the trials to cope with imperfections!
Have you ever seen an army of ants marching ? and if you have possibly noticed, each treads the exact path as the one preceding it. This small phenomenon exhibits exemplary discipline in nature! It's very simple for the ants following, to find their way, but have you ever thought how difficult would it be for the leader! These ants might not have emotions like humans have but still they like to abide by patterns drawn by their leader.
Our lives are not as simple as these ants but in some way I admire them and somehow implement it in my own right. I try idealizing people and imitate what I like in them. Sometimes I do fall short of breath chasing my ideals, nonetheless it proves beneficial. People might not be perfect but I like to pull out the last grain from a heap of chaff!!! 

I have been a follower all the while and quite liked it until I started seeing imperfections!

Discipline is the quintessence in leadership, and if one fails to sustain that quality, the person is not fit to be a leader. For sure I know, I can never be the helm of a ship, because I lack discipline and that is what I look for in the person who I should be following. I still have to mature and inculcate discipline in my life!! But those of you who think are leaders...It's time to ruminate!!
I do strive to exercise my franchise this Election 2009 so that the largest Democracy in the world does not turn out to be 'Demo-Crazy' ...I do give up my laziness, I vote and then go to work, I help others to get there.
It is a very noble task to save our nation from clutches of the power hungry and self-centred ignoble rulers!!!

Hope this act of mine helps me attain forgiveness for all my meanness and anger in the last forty days!!
