My dear modern, proud India,
You can buzz about the latest gadgets and swankiest cars,
You can pride yourself with all your high standard lifestyle,
You can claim the right to consume and have a good life,
But will all these things matter when
you don't have the water to brush your teeth one morning?
Will the softdrinks and the fine wine
help you wash and clean your body?
Will the awesome interface on your gadget
quench your thirst when the water runs out?
What good is all this prosperity if it cannot guarantee the survival of your children?

What good is all this prosperity if it cannot guarantee the survival of your children?
When was the last time you asked someone,
"Where does this water I'm using come from?"
"And how long will it keep coming from there?"
