ANTI CORRUPTION BUT ALSO ANTI ANNA HAZARE MOVEMENT: STOP CURSING @ ME AND READ(I know its long).



OK I know by now I would have already fumed many of them. When everyone has the right to support Anna Hazare, I have the equal rights to say my view since we live in a democratic country. I hope it still is a democratic country. So here's my say on it:
I know Anna is not fasting for his personal needs, he is doing it for the entire nation to get  a stronger jan lokpal bill to eradicate corruption. India is a democratic country so he has all the rights to perform a peaceful protest.
But look at the other way round, he fasted once and that was fine. Now its more like blackmailing the government to get what he wants. Speaking about the government, we were the people who elected the present government to power. So its also our mistake to elect them.
Now u may say that all politicians are same, everyone is corrupt. So we just cant be spectators to the entire drama and keep blaming the corrupt politicians.
Jan lokpal bill has created an awareness among people and corruption might reduce in following months, but its like we are creating a parallel govt. Who knows how lokpal and lok ayukta might function in future. Even they may turn corrupt.I hope this does not happen but who knows the future. Lok pal and lok ayukta might work and I might be wrong but there is uncertainty.
With lokpal bill we are trying to solve an issue just by bringing in some fear in our corrupt politicians but will it work? I feel any problem should be solved by treating the root cause. The root cause is corrupt politicians, so y don't we so called "right people" get into the political system and bring a change from within.But r we ready for the hardships which is not like a 9 to 5 job and doesn't pay us any fixed salaries till we are elected to power?
Talking about PM Office to be involved in the lokpal, how many times do normal people like us go and pay bribe to PM? We as regular people would rather be happy if the next time we go to the passport office or license office and get the work done without paying any bribe there. So we will be happy to get the change @ the root level. Ok say lets assume PMO is included in the bill and they find PM to be corrupt. He is caught red handed by the lokpal. What next ? The party removes him from the post  and who do u think he ll be replaced by? It ll be another corrupt politician. Just try to go back and remember what happened in Karnataka a few months ago and now Karnataka has ended up in such a mess with no strong leader to lead the state. So the investors are varied about investing in Karnataka; so the development in the state takes a back seat. Who ll suffer? Its us with no new jobs, no new openings.
So think a little about it before just going to the streets with Anna masks and caps. It would be nicer if TEAM ANNA and THE PANEL set for implementing the bill talks on the table, come to a negotiation and pass the bill. Getting PMO included and everything can be made through amendments later on as and when things start shaping up.
I hope I haven't offended any one, this is my view on the entire scenario after looking at the youth who don't really know much about the bill making so much noise just to be on TV or more so like being cool(At times I could see the Indian Flag being on the ground and people walking on it shouting Anna slogans, Is this y he is fasting?). I might be wrong or judgmental but its my view.

My take on today.:-P


Late one one day,
I was on top of a wall,
A dam wall, a scenic wall,
Supporting me to see an array of greens and lush nature to which I belong to.
It also keeps the water at bay, U guessed it right,
It’s a dam after all.
Actually its nothing to do about the dam or the water,
Its about the tourists who stop by this place to sink into the tranquility around.
Fish resides in water collected by the dam wall on which I was standing.
Fish needs food; tourists need a change, a feel of feeding helpless animals,
And so called backward people need money.
Money to sustain a living;
So the chain works this way,
Tourists buy fish food packed in plastic sachets,
 with their hard earned money from the backward people.
So the fish gets food, backward people get money leading to money distribution.
So it must be a happy ending after all isn’t it?
But the aftermath of the above incident is,
 Brainless Tourists throw the plastic sachets also into the water after emptying them,
But plastic is not fish food, some fishes are dumb,
And they eat them along.
Get their gut poisoned and die. Sad.
These smaller fishes are eaten by bigger ones and they too die.
So the government intervenes and bans the use of plastic @ the location.
The backward people have nothing to wrap,
So they end up not getting any money, so they too die of hunger.
The tourists have nothing creative to do on the wall,
So they stop visiting the place all together.
The hard earned money starts accumulating and end up in swiss banks.
Our money in other country’s bank? Not right.
So a spark among the people to try and retrieve it back.
And a revolt, a fast and peace rallies.
We end up in a present day society.
Where are we after all? What have we done to ourselves?
