The questions that arise most in the minds of youth:
The other day, I kept on poking my roommate with the question that what should I do to bring change ? Is it enough to start boiling my views in the internet audience or should I try for something big. Should I send an e-mail to ministries for killing JEE...
He shouted back "Okay, change it. But, then what about your dreams with Goldman Sachs""You wanted to do MS in USA, right ?""You wanted to work as a Robotics Scientist; what about that ?"
Now this got me thinking. We, as responsible citizens of a responsible country, are actually responsible for all that happens !!! So, if I do not go for things now, maybe things will never change ! But, then, the thought of having a stabler life with a high package and moreover the capability to fulfill all your boyish dreams in a jiffy offered a heavy hand. It is like avoiding a full-toss by a 5-yr old kid to try Hit a Six on a Malinga Yorker...
Talking of cricket, a name definitely rocks my mind in the same light, Lalit Modi...
That man definitely changed the way world looked at cricket. IPL, though the concept was plagiarized, the way it swayed away the audience was quite a stunning sight. He had a dream. A dream to change cricket. He did achieve it. But, what happened ultimately ? This guy was framed as a the lone soul responsible for all the ills that crept in the system with IPL's inception...
Here is what wikipedia has to say
" In 2010, Modi oversaw the bidding process and creation of two new teams in the Indian Premier League. Pune and Kochi were declared the new franchises. A Twitter entry by Modi declaring the stakeholders of the Kochi IPL Team allegedly breaching confidentiality agreements led to the resignation of the then Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Dr. Shashi Tharoor.[62][63]
Modi was then suspended as Chairman and Commissioner of the IPL in April 2010.[64] A suspension notice and a 34-page letter stating 22 charges of impropriety were served via email to Modi. Modi publicly protested his innocence immediately after the 2010 Indian Premier League Final had been played.[61]
An income tax department report on Modi has revealed that he holds a silent stake in three IPL teams - the Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab.[65] Furthermore, there are questions as to whether Modi was involved in match fixing and betting in Indian Premier League games.[66] He is also under fire for helping his family and friends buy stakes in Indian Premier League teams.[67]"

- Am I responsible for the current position of MY country ?
- Am I the one who should actually decide the country's fate ?
- Is it expected of me to work for the country, by the country and to the country ?
The answer, or rather the most prolific understatement: I DO NOT KNOW !!!
