*A Forward............*

Here is an interesting story that might give us a perspective:
An elderly man was teaching his grandchildren about life . .
He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and
it is between two wolves.
One wolf is evil---he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
competition, superiority, and ego.

The other is good ---he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity,
humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith.

This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person,
too."

They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his
grandfather, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?"

The Elder simply replied, "The one you feed."







*THE JANTAR MANTAR TAMASHA*

Thanks for enlightening me about Anna Hazare. I also believe he is really a
good man, following footsteps of Gandhi.

*But he is acutely naive*. {Not surprising. But how an IPS officer like
Kiran Bedi ?}

So naive that he believes that passing a “Lok Pal Bill” would cleanse this
country of corruption. And funnily, everybody thinks its the job of
Parliament or Government to curb corruption.

We have so many laws and laws that not many countries have. But in no
country is the abeyance/violation of Law is as high as in our country.
Application of Law is nil. BECAUSE THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE IS DISHONEST. THE
POLICE, CBI, MEDIA, THE JUDICIARY AND EVERYBODY. AND WHO WILL ADMINISTER
THE LAW ?

IF I SAY INDIA IS A JUNGLE, ALL WILD ANIMALS WOULD FEEL DEEPLY OFFENDED. TO
BE PRECISE, A LAWLESS JUNGLE AT THAT. ONE MORE LAW IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

CORRUPTION IS NOTHING. AND ITS NOT JUST TAKING A BRIBE FOR DOING SOMETHING
THAT HAS TO BE DONE WITHOUT IT. Its like body ache created by fever. So, you
treat for fever. Reducing body ache is not the end of all.

CORRUPTION IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS CREATED BY ABSENCE OF HONESTY & TRUTH.
HONESTY & TRUTH AT ALL LEVELS WITH EVERYONE WILL ONLY SOLVE . NO PALL BILL
CAN ENSURE THAT. IT HAS TO COME FROM WITHIN FROM EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY.
CLEANSING PROCESS SHOULD START FROM EVERY CITIZEN UPWARD TO PARLIAMENT. NOT
THE REVERSE. NO PARLIAMENT IN THE WORLD IS STRONG ENOUGH TO CLEANSE PLUS 1
BILLION POPULACE.

POLITICIANS, POLICE & GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ARE BLAMED FOR CORRUPTION. AND
WHERE ARE THEY FROM ? NOT FROM ANOTHER PLANET. THEY ARE VERY MUCH FROM THE
SOCIETY.

THE PERCENTAGE OF HONEST PEOPLE IS ALARMINGLY GETTING LOWER EVERYDAY.

SO, THE ROT IS WITH US.

THIS COUNTRY HAS NO FUTURE UNTIL

♣ PEOPLE STOP JUMPING QUEUES (THERE IS NO LAW IN ANY COUNTRY FOR QUEUE
BUT IN MANY COUNTRIES, NO BODY JUMPS QUEUE)

♣ PEOPLE STOP FOR RED SIGNAL AT TRAFFIC

♣ STOP LYING FOR WORTHLESS ISSUES

♣ STOP BEING STUPIDLY SELFISH

♣ AND *ANOTHER TWO OR THREE THOUSAND SMALL ACTS* WHICH ARE OUT OF
DISHONESTY, UNTRUTH & SELFISHNESS.

AND THEN, YOU CAN THINK OF LOK PALL BILL. Otherwise, it will be Lok Fool
Bill.

Our country has reached a stage where you are abused if you stop at red
signal. You are laughed at if you speak truth or be honest.

AND PEOPLE FIND IT ABSOLUTELY UNAVOIDABLE, HELPLESS TO LIE FOR SILLIEST OF
SILLY REASONS.

MANY TIMES, I THINK, THAT OUR COUNTRYMEN DON’T HAVE BLOOD RUNNING IN THEIR
VEINS BUT ONLY DISHONESTY & LIES.

CHEATING HAS BECOME A WAY OF LIFE. IF EVERYBODY CHEATS EVERYBODY, NOBODY
GETS ANYWHERE. IT IS AS SAME/GOOD AS EVERYBODY REMAINING HONEST BECAUSE WHAT
YOU GAIN BY CHEATING IS LOST WHEN YOU ARE CHEATED. BUT OUR FELLOWS WOULD
PREFER THE FIRST OPTION. GENETICS !

OUR FELLOWS MAY BE LITERATE OR NOT BUT EVERYBOYD HOLDS A DOCTORATE IN
CHEATING.

CORRUPTION HAS REACHED UNTHINKABLE PROPORTION FROM BIRTH TO DEATH.

YOU HAVE TO BRIBE THE HOSPITAL STAFF WHEN A CHILD IS BORN. THAT IS NOTHING.
BUT IF YOU DON’T BRIBE, THE CHILD OR MOTHER WILL BE HARMED BY THE DOCTOR
HIM/HERSELF. THAT IS SOMETHING & CAN BE ONLY IN INDIA.

CAN ANYBODY BE BURIED OR CREMATED WITHOUT BRIBING. IMPOSSIBLE. IN CHENNAI
GOVERNMENT GENERAL HOSPITAL, YOU CAN WITESS THE GORY SCENE OF POOR RELATIVES
OF A DEAD PERSON GETTING RIPPED APART BY TAXIS FOR CARRYING THE DEADBODY.
THAT IS NOTHING. BUT THE TAXI FELLOWS ENSURE FREE GOVERNMENT MORTUARY VAN IS
IMMOBILISED SO THAT PEOPLE BECOME HELPLESS AND POTENTIAL TARGET FOR LOOTING.
THAT IS SOMETHING.

I CAN’T BUY BANANAS WITHOUT GETTING CHEATED – EITHER ON PRICE OR ON
FRESHNESS OR ON VARIETY. BUT I HAVE TO FIRST GET CHEATED. ONLY THEN BANANAS.


A 9 RICHTER EARTHQUAKE COULD NOT KILL EVEN ONE PERSON IN JAPAN BECAUSE ALL
BUILDINGS WERE EXACTLY AS PER LAW TO WITHSTAND SUCH QUAKES. NOR DID IT
PROMPT A STAMPEDE AND RESULT IN EVEN ONE DEATH.

IN SABARIMALA, MORE THAN 100 DIED IN STAMPEDE BECAUSE ONE JEEP LOST CONTROL.
WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEINGS INDIANS ARE. STAMPEDE IS RESULT OF STUPID
SELFISHNESS APART FROM MANY OTHER REASONS – ONLY I WANT TO ESCAPE; SO I RUN
AMOK WITHOUT CARING FOR OTHERS AND ALL DIE IN THE PROCESS !!

THE INTELLIGENCE OF AVERAGE INDIAN IS HIGH; BUT THE CROOKEDNESS HAS NO
PARALLEL.

AS LONG AS EVERYBODY CHEATS EVERYBODY, THERE WILL BE EQUILIBRIUM AND NO
PROBLEM. BUT IF ONE FELLOW IN THE CHAIN CANNOT BE DISHONEST, HE SUFFERS NO
END. AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES A MAOIST OR TERRORIST.

IN MY OPINION, MAY BE EXTREME, THIS COUNTRY NEEDS A TEN TIMES BIGGER
CHERNOBYL OR FUKUSHIMA TO CURE. MAY BE NOT. BECAUSE 2005 TSUNAMI CHANGED
NOTHING.

OR DON’T WORRY. EVERYONE WILL KILL EVERYONE IN A FEW YEARS FROM NOW AND
CALM, ALBEIT THAT OF GRAVEYARD, WILL PREVAIL.

*EVEN GOD CANNOT SAVE THIS COUNTRY LET ALONE LOK PALL BILL. WITH DUE
RESPECT AND REGARDS TO ANNA HAZARE.*
