This is a welcome change in the mindset of the Indian people that have thus far treated corruption as an incurable infection of the society. It is heartening to see every Indian - within the country and outside - coming together, supporting and championing the cause against corruption in the country.

It does not matter where you are - as long as you are tuned in and do your part.
Its time for celebration now.. but, Hey!... lets keep in mind... this is only the beginning.
