It was 'when I':
When the common man was sure of at least two meals in a day;
When the common could sleep with his two eyes closed;
When the common man could wake up knowing full well that his job was secured.
But all of these have changed!
Changed to 'if I':
When a man is not sure of one meal in day;
When a man is not sure of his safety-
Even in the midst of security operatives;
When a man is not sure of waking up to meet his job intact.
Our society is gradually moving away from
When I grow up;
When I finish eating;
When I wake up;
When I get a job;
To:
If I grow up;
If I finish eating;
If I wake up;
If I get a job.
Lets ask ourselves-
For how long shall we operate
In the realm of 'if I'?
