The entire nation is riding in the wave of fight against corruption. Shri Anna Hazare is hence the public face to fight off in this crusade
There are many experiences to be shared, but prominent among them would be my experience at Azad Maidan on 16th August 2011.
There is a flipside to not reporting events on the same day..though i'll try to do justice the emotional surge on that day

Caprice

you held a wild-flower in your finger-tips,
idly you pressed it to indifferent lips,
idly you tore its crimson leaves apart...

you held a wine-cup in your finger-tips,
lightly you raised it to indifferent lips,
lightly you drank and flung away the bowl...
alas! it was my soul.

I was a witness to two incidents, which symbolized to me pursuit for knowledge and of survival.
