Ladies and gentlemen, Greetings!!!
On this auspicious occasion of the 11th zogam.com foundation day, I would like to request each one of us to retrospect and see what we, the Zomis had been all these years. Lets us see together whether we had progressed as a nation or regressed. And if at all we had progressed, then at what expense and whether our progress is heading at the right direction.
We, at the zogam.com, acknowlege that we had been a relentless thorn at some seats of power while knowing fully well that zogam.com represent the common men and their thoughts. Keeping this in mind we had introduced from this year on, ZOPA ,keeping in tune with the "bridging the Zomis" theme. We have had an enormous response from the people and it is clearly evident on the number of SMS votes casted in the course of our campaign for ZOPA-2013.
I, personally, feel privileged to be associated with zogam.com and ZOPA and would like to sincerely applaud and congratulate all those who had contributed their mite towards ZOPA 2013..I also would like to make it known to all of you that this event is managed with funding exclusively from members of zogam.com who had wilfully contributed their hard earned money- the money they had earned by toiling day-in and day-out, night -in and night-out. I strongly feel that the person to whom we are about to confer ZOPA 2013 is privileged beyond doubt as he is about to receive the coveted prize money of 15000 INR which is an absolutely white money!
Lastly but definitely not the least, zogam.com would like to request all our leaders, both at the nationalist front as well as the political front, to think solely of our people as a whole, not just some sections of our society. For, as we all know, personal wealth and properties lasted only a lifetime or may not even last a lifetime, while good names and good deeds lasted for generations together. I would like to take this opportunity to constructively challenge our leaders to come forward, be transparent and make their names dignified for the future generations to respect and adore.....for, as we can all see, we had consistently failed in that front.
The youth of today are painstakingly awaiting such a leader .... and if the youth of today are disregarded, then the leaders of tomorrow would be sorry at their elders!!!
Thankyou!!!
