20 wishes for 2020: A wishlist for a better tomorrow

‘If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.’

This old proverb basically means ‘if wishing could make things happen, then even the most destitute people would have everything they wanted.’ Isn’t that just the way the world should be?

This wishlist for 2020 isn’t like asking for the moon, or horses.

These wishes could come true if the government takes cognisance, if we bring more creativity to the table, if we as citizens practice better civic sense, and if we try just a little harder to make India more progressive.
