LAN cut and the mute spectator

What can a common man do when the Government suddenly imposes new rules, taxes, fines etc, he has no choice but to follow. But what if, every common man is united and the mob unanimously protests against something. Do we ever realize how strong we are in a group than alone.
Attempts to be united are often foiled, a simple mass bunk cannot see the light, simply because there is always one coward, one person who wants to show his compliance to the system and pretends to be happy where he is. His political intentions then show up and the rest are penalized except him.
Initially, I thought of such an idea of gathering the masses and protesting that why do “they treat us like dogs”. But realized soon that in India, “nobody cares”. Then the idea of curbing all further rebellious thoughts struck me and the idea ended up as a blog post.
Speaking of blogs, LAN cut in IIT has certainly affected my blogging pattern, a blog is usually created online, but the rules here make me type it on a word file and then copy –paste it. Some observations in this type of blogging are
1. You cant refer to your last blog to see even if you have posted this idea before
2. Creativity is lost in staring at one blank white page for typing on it.
3. You just create a post for the sole purpose of doing the routine thing, just to satisfy yourself that well, “ I keep my blog page alive by blogging atleast every 3-4 days.”
Remember, remember the 12th of August, the Lan cut by the authorities
There should be no reason why the Lan cut should ever be forgot.
Sounds like a known little poem, has a lot of meaning with a central theme “Things die, Humans & Animals die but an “idea never dies”
