मैं भारत की प्रभुता और अखंडता अक्षुण्ण रखूँगा

In these last few hours of 2013 with nothing but stupid comedy and rusty Salman Khan as company, my mind forces me to recap these past 12 months and something that captivates my imagination are these words, "मैं भारत की प्रभुता और अखंडता अक्षुण्ण रखूँगा". 

28th December marked an epoch in the history of this nation with Delhi's रामलीला मैदान packed to its capacity. Everyone had gathered not to see a single person or a single party be sworn to power but to be a spectator to change; Change that was much needed. A change that will act as an inhaler for this country which is dying at the hands of asthma- of corruption, crime and injustice. 

According to physics, power is change in energy per unit time. Power is change, And change is seasoned politicians like Shila Dixit losing to a complete novice Arvind Kejriwal. Change is the majority political party not forming coalition by horse-trading fearing the public post elections. 

This is the power which is apparent to everyone, that the crowd is applauding and the media is closely following. But power for me are those words. Power for me are those words in Arvind Kejriwal's oath. Power is to see the tricolor held high at the national anthem. Power for me are these words which sent chills down my spine. Power for me is the thought that when Arvind and the AAP can do it then why can't I?
