The double Culture!

This is about me and my fellow Indians. This is about one habit we notice around, are we keeping our surroundings clean? Indians are usually family oriented, but not society oriented. They are very concerned about the family and things affecting it, but not about society. If we look around we can see people simply litter and spit around even if there is a waste bin near by. Do these people litter in their home and their courtyard? Social responsibility is one thing which we need to study from western culture, There everybody is responsible to the society, and they contribute what ever they can for the well being of the society around them. We can see clean streets and public places there. In India people think that the public places are the place where they can do anything as they are also paying tax for it. Please note that your deeds can affect someone else.

So from now onwards make sure that you do not litter in the public places other areas where other peoples are used. Let's help the society which ever way we can !

Corruption and Lokpal.

I don't want to explain what it is. Do I ? It is the Anna Hazare , his fast and Lokpal bill. Everybody in this country (Except politicians and public servants) want to eradicate the harmful hands of corruption from our country. You and me also need it? Do you think that it can be done by passing a law or appointing a super police to check everything doubtful and put everyone guilty in Jail. It can hel little bit, but it will not eradicate corruption. What will we do if lokpal itself is corrupt?

So what I would suggest is that find the root cause of corruption and prevent it from the roots. The lokpal and super police against corruption will only able to work in Top to bottom approach. Which I think would be ineffective in dealing majority of corruptions.

In India most of the corruptions happen in the following things.

1) Subsidized public distribution system.
2) Allocation of different permits.
3) Planning of different programs intended for poor section of the society.
5) Contracts given for the public works and other installations.
6) Evading of income tax.
7) Service given from different departments of the government.

There are some more, but lets come to the core point which I was talking.

If we look at most of the these areas, the corruption happens either due to lack of transparency or the funds are transferred to the end point in number of stages. So Along with a strong anti corruption law , the solution for all these issues has to be found. Anyway I support Anna for his great initiative which will show the right path against corruption.

Idea behind this Blog!

For long time I was thinking of writing down my experience. Then I thought of how I should do it. Whether it should be in paper or want to start my own site or a blog. So let it be a blog. Every person will have N number of thoughts passing through his mind every minute. It might me about the job or family or society or country or even philosophical. It would be a nice experience if we scribe down the thoughts and read it later. The thoughts will depend on the mood in which we are. Like if are alone , also will depend on climate, like if it is raining we will have different thoughts. Let see how I am thinking ......
