Scam Season

We should have an Olympics for scams, can win hands down the majority of the medals. There is scam everywhere, be in sports, medical college appointments, land deals, housing cooperative society, CM denotifying lands to hand it over to his near & dears, Cricket so on so forth. The list goes on & on & on and will never end. If you observe any area of the scam, all are correlated with politicians. Oh what a lucrative business it is. It is like, if you get caught doing a scam, all you have to do is resign from the ministership or whatever post. Next day you are a free bird apart from few enquiries in AC rooms, you will not be bothered. Remember only big fishes can be seen in an aquarium full of obstructions. Small fishes cannot be seen, but if you combine them....the result can surpass a big shark. Do we deserve this? This is really really absurd what is going, needs to stop. I don’t understand why people are so greedy. What will you do with a personal ill gotten wealth running to several crores? How can you spend it in a life time? Politicians are looting people, Businessmen are looting people, Bureaucrats are looting people.... A common man is like a victim targeted by & from everywhere. Now you can see why we still have poor people around. While there are potholes in roads, we got big holes in our pockets. Majority of the money ends in few worthless - non deserving- son of bitches guys, who screw-up remaining guy’s life.

Hope I…, no… no… no ... my grandsons.... great grandsons...future generations have a non corrupted, scam less country. So they can lead a peaceful life, while I die everyday with unclean air, polluted leaders & taxing days.

Government is a bad boy

My 3 year old kid was having shower in the morning & was enjoying every moment of his existence. He had applied soap on his face , his little body. And lo!!!! the shower stopped and there was not even a drop of water. He started crying & was disgusted how it can happen all of a sudden. He couldn’t understand that Electric Department, the Government body was changing/repairing a transformer since more than 15 hours and there was no power since then. The water couldn't be pumped without power in to the overhead tank. As a result the shower stopped. I somehow arranged a bucket of water , bathed my son and gave him clothes to wear. I have never seen him getting so distraught out of his experience with the shower. After he stopped crying, he asked me "Dad, what happened? How did the water stop in the shower?" I told him "Beta, Government cut the power because of which there is no water" He replied back saying "Is it...." then said after thinking a while "Government is a bad boy".
Guys I think you can make out what I am trying to tell. Is this a way to handle a downtime /power cut. It has become a norm ,now we are immune with this system. It doesn’t bother to us anymore. We can whine for a while but we just go along and on.
My kid deserves a better treatment so is yours. Have you guys ever thought about it…?

Indian Political League - What a Tamasha

Been meaning to start a blog from a long time. Finally I decided to share few words. Recently I was watching an IPL Match between RCB(Bangalore) & DDD(Delhi). I was very happy to see our gr8 political leaders blessing the stadium & people with their presence. Mr Bcci Chief cum Agriculture minister(Baigan Raja) was in full glare showing all this missing tooth. Madam Opposition(Bhendi Maa) leader graced this occasion with full aplomb. Mr IPL commissioner ,the new highest tax payer of India had applied fevicol I think and didnt budge from his place. The bollywood stars were present for the reasons best known to everybody -money,fame,glamour etc. etc. And thousands of people to cheer the teams. Also who can forget the cheer leaders dancing ,smiling, cheering the audience no sorry teams!!!. It was such a wonderful sight. After some overs I took a strategic break without any plan and went to buy some vegetables after a long time. I randomly picked up the vegetables and then when I saw the bill it was a shocker. The price of each and every vegetable has shot up atleast 5 times more than a couple of years back. I was disgusted to see this. I being an IT professional with a handsome salary can feel the pinch so much , just imagine the plight people slogging in day & night earning few bucks. My mood was totally off after this. I was thinking Where are we heading towards. I am in Bangalore,the silicon city of India & previously known as heaven for retired people. Do any one have guts now to tell the same, I doubt. I came back to home then started watching the match again. Again the cameras rolled on to our gr8 Indian Political Leaders. But this time I felt ,what is agriculture minister is doing here in the IPL match. Is he meant for this, to watch the game, to watch the cheer leaders, to watch the bollywood stars. Why is opposition leader so happy with the Baigan Raja. Is she not meant to be a watch dog of the goverment. The prices have shot up to the roof destroying the ceiling and countless people apetite. The 4 hours excluding the travel time to the stadium spent by the Baigan Raja in the stadium could have been better utilized had it been spent in the ministry. I as a tax payer of India deserve better things, better life. I am being sucked by union govt, state givt. day in and day out in terms of tax tax tax... where is it going , what is happening. No idea. Are farmers becoming rich because of the price increase , I dnt think so. I can just go on and on with this. But I dont have time , the luxury of the ministers to watch IPL from the front seat in full glare of cameras. I have to strive hard for my livelyhood, survival. People like Baigan Raja & Bhendi Maa are very shameless, thick skinned ,out of the world people. If they cant understand the ethics or atleast show some solidarity with the public they are not meant to be in the position they belong to. Words just fail to express my disgustness & hopelessness. I have to head towards my home now & tackle all the potholes , abandoned cows , irregulated trucks , corrupt traffic cops , traffic jams and lot of other unpleasant things. I will end the blog with this.
