We the VOICELESS People Of India

Since weeks my newspaper is shouting about corruption whether it is CWG, Adarsh Scam or 2G spectrum scam, whatever it may be topic of corruption is taking centre stage in media. I think people of India have become addicted to corruption and why only India, corruption is found in every country of this world.
In Gandhinagar I am using public transport bus (VITCOS) to travel Rate of ticket is very nominal like Rs. 3 or Rs. 4 , it has became practice by VITCOS conductors that they don’t return ‘change’ and people of this city don’t even ask (or dare) to one or two rupee back. I purchased ticket of Rs. 4 and gave coin of Rs. 5 , conductor didn’t returned me one rupee back, i demanded twice but that guy not ready to return back one rupee back. Then i used rash words and told him that if he wants to collect such one rupee coins he should sit near some temple why he is doing job? These words of mine were observed as insult to him and he returned me one rupee coin. It was not question about one rupee for me, I realized that if you allow such people to take your money being lazy and careless these people will make it a habit of CONSUMING your money. You just need to speak up for this.
I really loved ad campaigns showing youth saying no to corruption, but same youth give bribe to traffic police just to avoid situation. Premier and most trust worthy institutes like army is also under shadow of corruption. Young friends shouting on social networking sites or young students talking in open forums is SEEMS to be raising their voice but for me it’s just a murmuring without any taking any serious action. It is oblivious that talking or writing on corruption is not going to stop corruption people need to act on that.

People of India are becoming voiceless in the name of avoidance of particular unhappy situation and blaming government for everything. If you don’t like than you should speak up rather then moving away from that situation or just sit and watch what is happing. Hopeless people always blame that its a system which corrupt, who makes this system? We the people, it is simply an excuses avoid situation of corruption which in turn encourage bigger level of corruption. For me this AVOIDISM is greatest factor to encourage corruption. If everyone will have “who cares” attitude then who is really going to take care of our country?

It is problems, increased with literacy. Iliterate percentage of people when less, there is less corruption. Literacy rate of country now increased and corruption rate is increased. Literate people now enjoying corruption is good practice and without corruption there is no easy life is being phonoman in public. Social networking is only place to shouting and heard the self echo. nothing else

Corruption is not only related with literacy !!! its is linked with ethics and values which comes through institutes like Family and Education. Less educated people don't hold high position in public so corruption is observed less among that strata of society.The greed of having EASY life made it undesirable phenomenon among intellects.Social networking is of course a place where people can raise their voice but its not ONLY place, today social networking sites are used for fun and entertainment in these scene it is very much required to shout in public rather than making murmur on such sites :)

By being the people of India it is our responsibility to stop the corruption at any level ,we are not able to stop the corruption at higher directly but we can it indirectly by stopping corruption at lower level,the best example that you have mention above(VITCOS) if everybody start raise their voice against lower level corruption i am sure that we will get good result in future.In gujarati there is kahavat"TIPE TIPE SAMUNDAR BHARAY" means if we trying to save one rupee as per you mention above it will be a good dil.I thik there must be a hard punishment for corrupter otherwise everyone came and repeat this thing.

Multitasking, life killing strategy …

            I am a designer, a blogger, a research scholar, a friend, a son, a brother, aaaaaaa many things. Many things, many identities, many roles are being adopted (even assigned) by this entity called “I”. Every role has its own nature of demand. Performing these roles at its best is most challenging, most complex and most desirable thing.                       Today every human being is “burdened” with such roles and identities, to navigate between these roles and identities he has adopted strategy what we called multitasking. At single point of time we are doing so many things, for instance updating facebook status while sitting in class, writing assignments with listening music and what not. I feel height of multitasking when people take picture while kissing !!!  The first word which comes up in my mind after looking such snaps is undoubtedly F word…. Kissing is meant for exclusi...

"Dirty" Research...

Image
You know those tea-time conversations that start out light, full of jokes and laughter, but then suddenly take a turn into something much deeper? Well, that’s exactly what happened to me the other evening. There I was, casually sipping my chai with colleagues, when our banter somehow drifted into the realm of what some call "dirty literature" in India. You can imagine my reaction—part amusement, part curiosity. I jokingly suggested it would make for an intriguing research topic in gender and sociology. Little did I know, this light-hearted comment would spark an unexpected response. A colleague shot back, warning me that if I try to publish research on such a topic, my reputation in academic circles might take a hit. "They might judge you in the ‘wrong’ way," he said. And just like that, a flood of memories and thoughts washed over me, pulling me back to my first encounter with this so-called "dirty" literature. It’s funny, isn’t it, how certain triggers—l...

Mystics Mask : Decoding Guru -II

Image
Today, I came across a funny instagram reel of a so-called spiritual leader. He was publicly making fun of Science and cracking jokes about relationships with women and other people who seek solutions about their real life problems from him in the Pandal of a Katha vachan . This is not the first time I was looking at such a person,  I have seen many such spiritual leaders who often make fun of science, psychology and people in their Sabha .. These individuals, often referred to as Babas or guru, wield immense influence over vast numbers of people, shaping beliefs, behaviors, and even societal norms. But who are these Baba, and what accounts for their widespread popularity? Consider the case of Pookie Baba, also known by the more formal title Anirudhacharya Ji Maharaj or simply Anirudh Tiwari. Born in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, in 1989, he moved to Vrindavan as a child to immerse himself in the study of Sanskrit and Hindu scriptures. From these modest beginnings, Pookie Baba has emer...
