The world around us is a mess. And we are in our cocoons.
Two options. Stay in the comfort zone; blame everything on the system. Or, BE the system.
Jaag! is one such initiative. But rather than going radical, its about a gradual process called "awakening".
Today's youth has exuberance. Today's youth has energy. Today's youth is sick of the present. Today's youth desires a change. And at least before familial engagements tie us down, today's youth has high morals. Let's tap all of these.
Let's try to make people stop and think, at the least. Write on things that bother you, that piss you off.
Why JAAG? Why not keep on writing random posts on similar topics?
The purpose, remember, is to make people stop, at least for a while, and take a break from the regular rush of life to realize that things are screwed up. JAAG! will serve as a channel to make those thoughts flow. Ideas will be reinforced everytime a person will come across the word "Jaag!". And who knows, he gathers up will power to say, "Enough." Let's get together and bring about the resonance.
How to get associated?
One, contact me and tell me you're associated with "JAAG!" by commenting on this post on jaagtheawakening.blogspot.com. Any other non-participating comments can be made here.
Two, upload the "JAAG!" image shown above in every blog post related to the cause.
Three, give a brief introduction to "JAAG!" in every post related to the cause.
Four, give a link to JAAG!(jaagtheawakening.blogspot.com) in every post related to this cause as it will serve as a reservoir of all the JAAG! posts on all the blogs till date.
Five, contact me and tell me whenever you have posted any JAAG! post. I'll update it in the reservoir.
Six, spread the word.
What next?
Just sit back and let the ripple effect do its job.
Great, great initiative, bruv. I know you will go a long way with this.
