The dream of a common Indian is very simple. He needs a better life. A life of economic independence. So, what does it take a common Indian to realise his ultimate goal? A job-assuring education, six-digit salary from an MNC, occasional on-site bonanzas, and finally he chooses to marry after accomplishing the dream. Is the nation benefitting by this in any way? The answer is ‘NO.’ The students of today fight hard to settle down with a better lifestyle without worries and hardships. This trend should change. Students should have the urge to work for the nation. Join the army or the civil services, enter politics and bring about a change. This nation would definitely witness a transformation brought along by the youth. So, let’s all hope for a good change to be ushered in by the common man.
