There are three types of
approaches generally found around us...
1 . We have determination, hard work, Education and talent working
together; we call it Success...
2. When Hardwork and Determination only working together with no money
we call it Hard luck...........
3 when we have nothing and still have money, we have to call it Corruption................
What a paradox. But yes,
unfortunately true. This inconvenient truth is the most believed and followed
truth of today’s times. From government to chai walaas, from politicians to a
common man, corruption is spreading like a wild fire. I am certainly not trying
to make statements to sell my BLOG and make it sound like a social activist’s
voice. But the agony is this.
Just a small incidence to back what i just said. The impression of
this incidence continues to remain on my mind as i write this BLOG. While i was
on my way to catch a train for Mumbai, on Ahmadabad station, i stopped to pick
up a bottle of water for myself to quench my thirst. The guy on the stall must
be in his late 20’s or Mid 20’s may be...basically very young and smart! Before
you start getting me wrong, let me proceed further....
I asked him a BISLERY. He fetched
me with one costing rupees 12. But he charged me Rs 15. Now i was in no mood to
fight with him for those three rupees. But the fact that he did so, i thought i
should. I asked him an explanation for
those 3 rupees he charged me extra. He very confidently, making no bones over
it replied...” Behenji yeh toh ice ke liye hai, thanda pani chahiye ha garmi
mein” So i asked him to fetch me a warm bottle of water, He said” woh hum nahi
rakhte” before i lock my horns with him further, he replied..” Jaane do na
madam, yeh politicians log karodon ka ghotala karate hai, tab koi kuch nahi
bolta...hum pooch ke lete hai toh hamein hi sunaate hai”
I was speechless. I was so much
filled with answers to backfire him, that i actually couldn’t speak anything. I
just kept wondering,. What is being internalised in the minds of tomorrow.
Aren’t we acting like morons by making these corruption lobbyists our Role
Models. These politicians are true trailblazers of corruption. With all the
scams and scandals of don’t know how many crores, and how many “ Zeros” in
those crores, they are actually setting a trail behind their scams which will
one day set on fire every one of us. With HUGE mammoth scams, small level
corruptions or say may be illegitimacy, is appearing so miniscule that its no
more remaining one. So with this kind of an attitude that is developing in today’s
young minds i wonder where we will be standing 20- 30 years down the line. I
wont be surprised if, a day will come, when corruption would be so much a part
of our system, that the government would take its pleasure in legalising it...i
can’t stop laughing at this. Certainly not because its funny, but i am mesmerised
with the helplessness of our System to save itself from being a BIG FAILURE.
So whats the answer to this?? I
am still thinking...post your comments if
you have come up with any...
