10 things to learn from japan-
1. THE CALM -Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY -Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY -The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.
4. THE GRACE -People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER -No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE -Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS -Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING -The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA -They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE -When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

Dear Mr Shankar,
I too sometimes think about what you have mentioned. The situation is worst in
Delhi. The educated ones are the main culprits.
