TODAY -
For Future Generations
Randhir Thiyam *
Elections?
They're five-year love affairs with politicians
who ghost you the day after the honeymoon.
But your generation?
That's forever or it should be.
If you keep trading the future for campaign flags and photo-ops,
dont act surprised when the future unfollows you.
You think voting is change?
Cool.
But real change doesn't wear a rosette
it digs deep,
starts at home,
and bleeds into the bones of the land.
If you dont love your generation enough to fight for it,
your generation will fade
not in headlines,
but in silence.
So zoom out:
Dont just think like a voter.
Think like an ancestor.
Love yourself not your curated feed,
but your raw, real self.
Love your community not only during crisis.
Love your people even when its not trending.
Then and only then
can you love your motherland without faking it.
That's when we save the future
Not through elections.
Through evolution.
Thats when we save Kangleipak
Not on polling day,
but every day after.
