Action Plan

Hello dear friends,


As I have mentioned in my previous post that it is going to continue...here goes the next version.


Well I have ended the post suggesting the mantra "Let us do our part" but how???... if the middle class has forgotten that they too have a vocal cord and started accepting everything that happens to them. If our ladies at home are so much interested in soap operas, and winning crazy amounts in reality game shows, why don't they take part in serious reality? And our gents are busy earning to pay the bills and moan once in a month about the price hikes. Because we take things for granted they keep happening to us again and again.


I have jotted down few things that we can do before expecting the crooked political system to change.

ü  Being responsible in using public property. Protesters,stop vandalising the public property; any act that damages the public property bounces back to us in form of a price hike.

ü  Being responsible in using our resources and premises. To clean off the irresponsible trash, we will again have to pay huge taxes. Needless to mention, the effects are rising pollution levels for which we will be blamed by our own children and grand children.

ü  Not surprisingly, 90% of us are corrupted in one way or the other. We are all so much deeply drained in it that it has become almost impossible to get out of it. I know our elders have moved on with it all these years, but youngsters can initiate the steps. Let us try our best to avoid the corrupt ways and sources.

ü  If we get to see the busiest towns in the country, the worst traffic offences are committed with no fear of law and not to forget the other innumerable criminal offences. Why don't we abide by the rules, at least few? I don’t think it is hard.

ü  And not to forget the NRIs, we also have a responsibility towards our country; important thing to be concentrated is economical disparities. Since a lot of NRIs earn decent amounts, it is not tough to send a donation to the people who need it.

ü  NRI Entrepreneurs can make headway to provide employment for the unemployed in the country and I guess these steps have already been taken. Wish more of these come up.

Friends, our little ones can also bring a positive change. Let us educate them, guide them to make them as responsible citizens since they are easy to mould and pure to preach. And before we get the blame from them, ‘let us do our part’.


cheers

Food for Thought

Hello Friends,

The month of August has brought the scams, scandals, robberies, floods, and endless blame games out in the news in our country.

Giving a glance at those, I have a series of questions in my mind,

?          Why do we need the Common Wealth games to be held in our country with so much expenditure   

 and with more than half of it feeding the huge ever hungry bellies of those scammers?

?         Does the Army need to work for free for CWG games while the scammers enjoy unceasingly flooding money in to their accounts? 

?          Do our super rich, swiss bank account holder MPs need a 3 fold pay hikes while flood hit areas in Leh have hardly seen any rehabilitation measures?

?         A media channel questioned that don't the MPs need a performance check before asking for a hike? 

?         Why does a political party shamelessly rescues an illegitimate miner? 

?         Should the common man suffer the effect of gas leak for ages while the culprits enjoy a peaceful retired life? Why don't we speak up for our fellow state sufferers and say no to the product "Dove" while the other nation almost shook their government to hugely penalise the responsible Gas Tycoon and devastated their business empire through campaigns?

?         Why is that the common man's purse is never cared? Why a three time successful dacoity in the Bihar Train had never seen any flag down? 

?         How energetic are those crazy politicians taking part in the endless tireless blame games? The Common Wealth games should be held between these most competitive politicians who had shamelessly looted away the common man's wealth in turns. 

When common people like us come to know about this news, how do we react? Either we hop up on a discussion about what should/could be done, or argue about whose responsibility is this, or give it up saying that why should we break our head, or simply shrug off that there is no use talking about it and some of us never bother at all. And of course some of us write a post like me discussing reasons/causes/effects.

But why should we be so thick skinned? Why can't there be any actions plans to protect ourselves? Hopefully a long term action plan, also something that involves all of us.

For decades, we have remained sober and silent on all those atrocities towards us. Though some of us take an initiative to react against those atrocities, they back off when they see that no justice being done. The media which should speak for the public has turned into a major business industry losing all basic ethics of the so called fourth estate.

There should be something else that we can do for our own betterment. We can't let all those bad things happen to us. If we think that since we are not directly affected we need not give it a thought, then our lives would never see a change. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class pay off the prices.

Alright let me not start the preach-teach thing here and contribute my presence to the helpless mob. All I wanted to say is, people who at least feel there is ray of hope to change our country's future in a positive way can start on implementing smaller methods which can slowly but steadily influence a large number of people. In short, I would say "let us do our part". 

To be contd...

Cheers,

Vennela
