GHApla.Ghotaala,Scandal......synonymous with swindling of money and materials and everything that can be had,infact consumed without any issues of digestion or constipation!
Micro Economics has a law which says that continuous consumption of anything without a break leads to or results in diminshed interest with every increase in unit consumed. This law is known as Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility.
Its applicable to everything which is consumed in quick succession and without a break by anyone,but it seems there is a category which is exempt and doesnot find an application of this law- the corrupt and the glutton class who have higher satisfaction margins which are not so easily reached!
What has happened is that while there has been an antidote found for cancer and even AIDS, there can never be an antidote found for this creepy virus called as corruption which has, rapidly spread like a venomous lethal virus into every one mortal!
One glaring example is as exhibited in the following lines:
In our area or say ward, there is a state govt.run school for the children who cannot afford to go to schools where the biggies and the middies can afford to shell lakhs to educate in an international environment with state of art infrastructure(well,Globalised economy impact as u see,can't help!).
As per the scheme they are supposed to provide the students or rather say the tiny tots, mid day meals comprising of rice,dal and a curry with a provision for an egg per student every alternate day.
what actually is provided to the students is not what is expected. The performance in actual differs from the budgeted. The margin of error here is more than 5. Courtsey the care takers of the scheme who know how to put osmosis to practical implementation!
what ever good quality raw materials come are diverted to their homes and the inferior quality products like the dal and the lentils are fed to the children who dare not complain for whatever reasons one can think of....
The girl who stays near our house in a shanty home speaks about the inferior quality food that is served- half boiled rice,dal floating in boiled water, egg goes missing every alternate day and comes as 3 eggs in a month!!!! what about the rest of the eggs quota???
God Only Knows as to how much quantity consumed will satisfy these paranormal beings who even after being humans are no less than Adam and Eve post apple eating!
The fact that there are termites which cannot be killed with any medicine is true and very hard to digest that these termites are none other than superbly evolved brained creatures called as humans who wield the power to dominate and rule the roost without being questioned and held responsible!
As always the sufferer is the common man who is perplexed with the question of " whom to approach?" for complaint and redressal of the grievances. The reason why "dont care and chalta hai"attitude builds up in us is purely due to the deliberate delay in justice being met out....why would one bother to run from pillar to post to lodge a complaint for a vehicle stolen and pay under the table??? Is it necessary to get a marriage registered with names changed if there are numerous formalities created deliberately for the want of Vitamin M??? Why would one wish to be a law abiding citizen with a licence when u can do away with a Rs.50 or a Rs.100 currency note every time you get caught by the Traffic officials who intentionally show up before dushera and other big occassions???
Now one needs to be street smart and not be someoone ready to show the left cheek if slapped on the right.... as said,if you cannot change the system,change yourself-
Rest depends on what you want to do- weed out the corrupt from within or be one of them!!!!
Happy living...

believe it or not!
India is incredible!
India stands united despite the fact that there are diversified religions and castes and subcastes and many more divisions within just like the product line and width and depth, in management student sense with reference to marketing.
Strange as it is,but true is the fact that there exist many foundations on which INDIA as a country stands. While in other countries there is one foundation in terms of religion and language as I presume, there are many religions and sub religions as I have refered to in the above lines. Let me come to my religion and caste,to refine and talk in a clear manner as to what I want to convey..
Am a Brahmin,6000 Niyogi,Telugu. it is said that 6000 Niyogi Brahmins are the most refined and respected class in the brahmins category,well I dont know much about it though. Living in the modern society, there has been a lot of erosion in the values and principles and modification and tuning of the disciplines to suit us as we want it today, so there is nothing much to boast of.
There are stories I get to hear about my Father's uncles and aunt's and grandparents. How they lived and how they were the most feared is what I get to listen. Now why were they feared? Discipline and hard core following of traditions were the corner stone of this foundation. Now all that is left for us today is just stories about how they used to live and lead a wonderful and infact surprisingly superb life...
Yes, they didnot have laptops,i-pods,plasma TV's or black berry's or Air conditioners. They didnot have even Radio's even. Electricity was a luxury. They had a different set of mind,a different psychology and bend of mind which was perfect for their time. As history does, there are many principles and practices, which become a part of our day to day living,courtsey our ancestors who believe that a tradition can be preserved if percolated to the generations to come.
Well,now comes the part which I want to talk about.
While the ancsetors are right in thier thought and belief that a tradition or a culture can be preserved only if followed by generation next after their own it also it true that they leave many of the practices followed unanswered as to why they are being in practice or what is the significance of following that particular rule.
Its a general practice at home for us that we donot start any new work what so ever on monday,be it any thing - use of a new shirt or purchase of any thing or to go anywhere. At night we donot refer to a snake as a snake...we call it something else.. there are many more such practices which we follow. Once I did ask my granny as to why do we do this or why we are not suppposed to do it, she said simply it should be followed because our ancestors followed!
Now again, am not trying to say that they knew nothing but the fact is that even they had been following some acts just because their parents followed it. there was never a questioning perhaps as to why it should be done because of the fact that children were never allowed to ask questions- they were to follow what elders said.
What I intend to say is that even if we are educated and well positioned wealthy wise, there are many practices we follow blindly without trying to understand why we need to do that or why we donot need to do that and there is a greater possibility that we will drain it down to our next generation as well - some unanswered questions which are simply a practice!
Out of this discussion I would like to say that even if we are educated, we too, in today's world, are illiterate if we follow something blindly without trying to understand what it is or why is it necessary to follow...its not that we are testing the genuinity of the practice which was being followed but that we need to be educated as to the practices which constitute our culture...... the more we know the significance of each the more we will enjoy it.
There are many more such practices like animal sacrifices done en-mass in some tribal belts and cities as well to appease the Gods and Goddesses, but why??? the answers are not satisfactory. The fact that appeasing a God with the murder of an animal and its blood is something which Gods wanted is never the less true.
Anything we do for our comfort and cause is given the name f god and that is a blind belief,not God made.... be it in the temple or at home,we Indians are good at working in the shadow of culture and tradition and practices age old without questioning them ever..

Comm-on Sense! it s lost....
A boy posts a question to an expert : I like someone and want to propose her,but dont know to express my love for her. need your expert advice!
Now what would you think the advice would be?
Well today, we have least time to think about anything. The more modern that we are,the more we tend to forget something that is God gifted. We forget to think that thinking is something which we own since birth and that we can use this gift to solve some simple issues which need the least interference of the experts.
There is an acute shortage of the panacea called as Common Sense amongst the intellectuals in todays society,who for every problem they face,try to consult a demi God,I mean an expert! I would like to know where goes the brain that the Almighty had gifted when he sent the human to earth????
Hopefully its not kept in a locker like the gold or currency notes to be used at a futuristic date!
On a serious note, why do we fail to find solutions to every day problems within ourselves and try to find a solution with some one whom we donot know even! how can we trust their advice when we donot trust our inner souls voice?
We need to wake up from the deep slumber and activate our thought process which is almost put to hibernate mode to be living an independent and trouble free life!!!!
Jaago every one! Jaago!
