Gate#2

Hi all! Back here.
Sometimes the urge is so high that you cant fight it. For what? Well, for pretty much everything that we like, that we love to do and sometimes even vouch for, from anyone. It comes like a shock wave, to do the task that we love to do. And it seems so much intresting later on to feel how the change occoured. How sometime back I was simply waiting in a queue in the bus to get off at my stop.

;) Today while I got off my bus it was blogging in my mind. The epicenter to this blogging urge shock wave was the Gate#2. After my BCA, I recently got my first job to work as a s/w engineer over support projects in large Indian Service based company. Its training time, so its not that hectic deze days. The company's branch in this city has mainly 3 gates. But the company decided to keep one of them for guests alone. So the Gate#2 got the chance to be the one where guests enter the premisis in their expensive cars as perhaps they might have thought that it would be easy for workers coming from both sides to use either gate#1 or gate#3.

Now who'd tell that to the bus driver. The company is set at a beautiful spot down a hill. So as soon as the bus starts downhill and vision to things that were not visible earlier gets clearer, the driver starts feeling the ease in driving with an auto-speeding bus after a minute long struggle to get the fully-loaded auto-geared bus uphill and cool air slapping his face.

And then, he sees My Company's Logo, then gate#1 and reluctantly starts applying the brakes. The bus starts slowing down but understanding his duty, the driver hastily yet carefully slows down the bus and brings it to a halt at gate#2.

The guards standing outside the gate, yawning, playing with their ID cards witness a very morose croud getting out of the bus, yet nobody even looks at them(the guards) as they know they're gonna see haughty hurtful expressions, clearly stating that you better stay away from this gate as its meant for a superior lot than you. So I start my small yet tangled journey to my training classroom, from gate#1, then parking, then upstairs then right, right, left...

The seed of 'The Corrupt'

(NOTE: Kindly read this through. It is not an advertising campaign or a social cause message. However it is an attempt to change(improve) our way of thinking.)

CORRUPT POLITICIANS!

CORRUPT PARTIES!
CORRUPT GOVERNMENTS!
They're all birds of a feather!!
(सब एक ही थाली के चट्टे-बट्टे हैं!!)
"A new wave of development."
"A beacon of happiness."
"The change that will change your life."
"Working for the people"
Naming their parties on different socio-ethnic groups and abusing other groups to ensure max votes to their group.
Trying to convert every single small mistake of the ruling party to a big blunder using high-pitched speeches and pushing the blame on non-ruling parties when in power.
In short, fighting not over a different 'cause' but the same cause twisted to show a convincing difference.
I HATE IT!!!
DON'T YOU?!
But how are so many like-minded Clever game-players flourishing in this field while all like-minded fools like us are stomped, crushed, chewed and swallowed and r left to comment on the dilapidated state of the country.

Because hey, they're just like us aren't they?!
Indeed, they're from among us to say more appropriately
Be it a small doctor, businessman, religious leader, policeman, serviceman, small actor, or even an editor-in-chief of a famous magazine;
we're all corrupt from within!
The Indian common man is corrupt. We spit chewed pan(betel leaves) in public places, drive wrong ways or unnecessarily over-speed, show top level of racism when we keep broken cups for servants-only and ask them to drink while sitting on the floor, being a guy we consider (any) girl as another object to entertain them, we hoard onions, being an accountant we fraudulently keep small sums of money from our employers eye for us, being a doctor we scare our patients with problems that they don't have and make them pay for tests that wont do them any harm but to their bank accounts, deceive those who love us, pave our ways to the top using unfair means.

Whatsay?
Do not agree?
Take a simple test. Next time you are in the vicinity of another, be it someone from your family, a friend, an unknown stranger; just take a note of what your sudden involuntary thoughts are...
"Are they here for a motive?"
you can have some other thoughts.

When you try to change there are people who will pull you down, not because they dont want your good always, but many times because they want your own good and know that if you're an honest citizen, there are many other deceivers who will try to shoot you from their path, or use you. However I believe that to root out corruption from the democracy called India, we need to improve our way of thinking because as they say that children are the future of the country similarly someone from among us is gonna be the next leader and a corrupt group will always deserve a corrupt leader. Don't you think?
