Good Evening Guys...
Today is my Holiday so I am posting a little early, as my company has started to grant us holidays on second and fourth Saturdays of the month though by a little bargain of our casual leaves. Isn't that really cool? Such is our benevolent and generous company. I won't name it here though.
OK, then... Since today is a holiday, as usual I have got nothing to do except for watching TV, Television, Idiot Box,audio, baby-sitter, box*, eye*, receiver, small screen, station, telly, tube, vid, video or in technical terms visual and audio entertainment transmitted via radio waves and of course lastly playing cricket.
On 6th January I had asked, whom do you find responsible for all the mis-happenings and misfortune that happen to us in our everyday life. We, as a means to escape from our responsibilities blame the government or myriad number of other people. I am not trying to say that they should not be held accountable for their dereliction of duty but what do you have got to say about this:
1. Watering the walls, which some say it is their birthright.
2. Throwing trash anywhere except their own homes. As if our country is a dustbin.
3. Spitting everywhere.
4. Taking our pets for a walk and then creating mess everywhere on the roads, parks (in which, of course pets are not allowed).
5. We offer bribe or some other favor to govt. officials to get our work done quickly. And now the officials are so used to it that they feel it is what they work for.
6. We send our kins to govt. jobs by paying bribe and then we say that these govt. officials are so....
So my point is that we have no right to say anything until and unless we ourselves are not wrong and selfish. We should not be doing such things which we consider as norm, such as...
Breaking traffic rules to get home a little early and when some official catches us we say he wants something and then to get away from a hefty fine we put 100 bucks in his pocket. This is how we treat officials and then we say that they demand money for doing their work.
The list is endless... if look at ourselves honestly and deep into our daily lives we would realize that the govt officials, politicians, policemen or anyone from the govt. have not popped up from somewhere. They are one of us from the society, they too are selfish like us.. they too have desires to buy an Audi, iPhone, land etc..
The only difference between us and them is the authority and power, which as usual they misuse to bend things their own way.
But if we really want to say something against them, then we have to proof ourselves that we are responsible citizens of India and should respect the law.
I am not saying that everyone should turn into a politician to correct the system, but at least we should be intelligible enough to understand our responsibilities as citizens.
Hope someone listens me...
