Apologies for interrupting your entertainment. Some of
you might not like reading this or even hearing this, but isn’t it human nature
that whatever is beneficial for us is always overshadowed by what makes us
happy. We weigh pleasure more than
responsibility. We were always short sighted, weren’t we? Looking for quick
fame, instant money; even the one day matches have been narrowed down to
20-20’s.
Recently our Independence Day passed by, and for most
of us it was just another holiday. The celebrations for 15th August
were not as enthusiastic and cheerful as our Archfest celebrations or for that
matter any other festival’s celebration. Why
?
Today when it comes to singing and dancing, we, the
youth gets psyched up and our level of enthusiasm and energy reaches its
maximum. We know the birth date, birth place and every detail of the celebrity
we adore, but do we know when is the birthday of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, Rani
Laxmibai or any other freedom fighter. Do
we even know what happened during the National War of Independence of 1857 or
what was the agenda behind the non-co-operation movement. We are seen scratching
our heads and rubbing our hands in guilt when we are asked about our role in
the progress of our nation.
The outsiders conquered our nation because we valued
other cultures more than ours. We look down at ourselves when compared to other
cultures.
National interest is always looked upon as inferior
issue, isn’t that the reason why Dollar is more valuable than Rupee?
We value McDonalds
and KFC chefs more than our mothers.
Previously the takeover was through war, now, its
economical, Psychological and Cultural. We
have to make sure the history doesn’t repeat.
We are Architects and we have the power to construct
or destroy. Today USA is one of the super powers, but 250 years back when it
was a colony of the British, a guy named Thomas
Jefferson stepped in. He was the leading figure in American War of Independence,
and He was an Architect.
But that doesn’t mean VOYAGE; our club is all about war or history. We are humans too, we
aren’t robots. This club would be Architecture, Social, Sports, Adventure; but
above all, it will be fun.
Join us to create a better today for a better
tomorrow;
