No concern for Elections ... greatest irony
I recently thought about how many times do I check my salary account in a month ... once, twice, thrice ...... may be twice: once when it is credited with salary and the second time when my ATM rejects my card to dispense anymore money.....
This made me think about this blog. I check my money minimum of 24 times a year, how many times do I check my 30% money that I deposited with the government? Not able to get what I talking, it is the tax I paid as Income Tax: let alone VAT, service tax etc be not counted.....
I may argue ... I may say I have a choice .. afterall it is my money .. I do not care... what is your problem...
My problem is: by not bothering about it I am allowing my money to be used for anything... it can land into corrupt politicians pocket and may fly away to Swiss Bank...
This is irresponsible behaviour for 2 reasons
1. I do not perform my duty of spending money on rightful deeds (This can be called not performing duty)
2. I allow it to flow into wrong hands (This can be called callousness towards the society)
After all this, what is my right to in saying we can not correct the society, we are fuelling it by not questiong, once in 5 years also!!!!!.....
I do not recommend to vote to any party but, you can still vote as per the conciousness. Alternately, you can question the working of the govenment through various forums, unless we talk no one listens, silense is called half agreement.....
I will close the blog with a simple question that I asked at the beginning ....
Will you choose the good available vegetables when you go to market or say that I do not buy
any vegetables because they are not the best?

Staying in a slaughter house called moral high ground
Common man in India has one great quality that has been conveniantly used by many rulers. Be it the rulers from English Land or be it their own democratically elected leaders.
OK OK, coming to the quality, it is MORAL HIGH-GROUND. We have repeatedly learnt or taught that to question a wrong you need to be right. What a great escape route invented by all opputunists. I donot know where is the reference for it in the culture. I do not know where is the reference for it in constituton of India. There are enough stories created around this priciple to convince the common man. These stories are repeated multiple times to make them beleive it is correct.
This allowed the politicialns getting away easily by questioning the opposition when it questions the wrong.
This allowed every wrong to be justified solely on the basis that my predecessor too was wrong.
This allowed 75 lakh crores of tax payer's money to fly out of the country, only to re-enter for wrong deeds.
This gave license to rulers to kill people by supplying drinking water. Lot of potable water supplied by muncipalities is nothing less than poison. I often wonder why the farmers growing cotton spend money to buy insecticides for suicide. They could easily die by drinking municipal water.
This allowed roads to be ful of pot holes
This allowed everyone to not question their ward counsellor for pathetic state of affairs.
This allowed Land mafia.
I can go on and on and on .....List grows..
I fail to understand the reference to this beutiful lie, taught again and again to everyone. Self pity and moral slavery these seem to be the greatest problems india faces today.
I was taught in childhood that it is sin if we do not question wrong. Each sin has four equal takers
- The sinner himself
- The promoter of the sin
- The person who enjoys reciting it
- The person does not question it despite of being in such position
Does not our constitution ask for fundamental duties to be performed by people. We are definitely enjoying fundamental rights, why are we not doing our duty. I need not spend single paise for questioning!!! Is it so difficult? I do not think so. Ask the government to act is not difficult!!! Electing the honest people is not difficult!!!. Do not say there are no candidates who are honest. If all the food is rotten, we eat the least rotten during famine. That gives us enough energy to find still better food. Honestly, have we even attempted a correction. I do not think there is a great effort needed for it. We just need to think about right thing that should be done by ruler. We all gain by it. We do not loose anything by doing it.
All the advanced countries are ruled by humans only. The common people there too do wrongs. But, while choosing their leaders, they choose the cleanest. The cleanest did not come in first attempt. They just stayed focused on right. It helped everyone. you may say we kno, we know...Then why are we not doig it!!!
I think it is the same old story MORAL SLAVEY

సానుభూతి అనే భూతం
- సామజిక న్యాయం అనే పేరుతొ ప్రతి పార్టీ వోట్లు ఆశించడం
- ఆఫీసు లో పని చెయ్యని వాళ్ళు బాస్ తిడితే సహా ఉద్యోగుల నుండి సానుభూతి ఆశించడం
- తల్లి తండ్రి వాళ్ళ యవ్వనంలో ఎలా ప్రవర్తించినా కొడుకు వాళ్ళలా కాకుండా శ్రీ రాముడిలా వుండాలని ఆశించడం
విదుర నీతి దీనికి సమాధానం కావచ్చేమో!
"ఒరులేయవి ఒనరించిన నరవర అప్రియము తన మనంబున కగు
తా నొరులకు నవి సేయకునికి పరాయణము పరమ ధర్మ పతములకేల్లన్ "
అంటే మన కేదైతే బాధ కలిగిస్తుందో అది ఎదుటి వాళ్ళకు చెయ్యకూడదు.
