Welcome .

Since this is my first blog post , Id like to start the first one with my title i.e the lantern bearer .Do i think that i am so arrogant so as to call myself a giver or light ? Or am i just plain simple in order to BELIEVE that i can enlighten my peers , colleagues , people who live their lives around me . NO .I fear , i have a slightly more complicated than that.

Enlightening the masses is a tough job , one too tough for my simple existance.

Id rather leave that job to all the great "enlightened" leaders that my motherland India is blessed with . The job of spreading the light is a form of altruism that i care not to indulge in .Don't get me wrong , I keep my stand and go as far as to say that our leaders indulge in something much more greater than just altruism, their primary focus is not self sacrifice for the service of the masses , but service of the self . I bow to these illustrious men and women , for they are performing the greatest duty that can be performed by any individual , they are carrying out the highest form of charity , they are servicing the nation , they are actually steaming it ahead .Not conciously i assure you but then how do they precisely do it ?

Here i would like to use a reference to a certain author whose profound thoughts actually fuelled my to choose this particular title . I am referring to a particular Adam Smith , whom i consider the father of modern economics .

Our politician s are carrying out exactly what is essential for all of us , they are servicing their self .Yes , service of self is indeed the greatest.I am referring to the "invisible hand" that is talked of in the "wealth of nations".I bow to you , oh you mighty men .You are gods beyond all .

I am a mere boy , just a mere human , my thoughts may not be the same as yours , the more varied they are , the better it is , individuality , is the biggest illusion that man lives in .

How i plan to be a lantern bearer and spread the light ?

Its something much more selfish , which is actually the most selfless thing i could do , i want to shroud myself in darkness and observe everything . No ,i would not be hidden , i would not cease to be a part of this world and just observe it , i would partake in the activities , but i would be passive , for my fellow men , its about time , that you became active,.
