Hope 

Hope -that’s what  What most of the Indians are surviving on ,hoping that every day is good ,every second day is better and there are many more good days that they can look forward to.

I too was hopeful recently during my vacation when at mumbai International Airport security check I forgot my ID and only realised this when the flight took off ,for the next 3 weeks on my holiday,I was stressed ,tensed and hoping that I might not have too go through that process of applying for duplicate Id the headache everybody goes through if they loose any document had hope that the ID card would be in a safe place .

Three weeks later and as soon as I arrived I went to the information desk to find out , I found out the process and next day spoke to the concerned person and to my surprise ,they actually had my ID card I was impressed with our systems and

Felt lucky and was reassured there are some things that only happen In India .And the country has hope to become better .
