Jan LokPal bill??

         Of course we can’t deny the fact that Anna Hazare is fighting for a good cause,

         But the fact is passing a bill will not eradicate corruption in India.

         What if the committee (lokpal) itself becomes corrupted?who has the authority over it?

         If you rationally analyze the draft, so many questions remain unanswered like what is the   

         role of Judiciary System and anti corruption wing of CBI?                                                     

         Look at the difference found between draft formed in 2010 and Jan Lok pal bill..

                                          

                                      

Draft Lokpal Bill (2010)	Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen's Ombudsman Bill)

The CBI and Lokpal will be unconnected.	Lokpal and the anti corruption wing of the CBI will be one independent body.

I believe that those who corrupt has to be punished severely, so I welcome this bill..

         And Indian politicians are already caught red handed for saying NO to this bill..

         But you can eradicate corruption only if each and every citizen of India decide to do so.

         This has a lot more to do with Indian psychology.

         Take an example of Japan..

         10 things to learn from Japan 
         (Courtesy:Anonymous Friend)

         1. THE CALMNESS
         Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

         2. THE DIGNITY
         Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

         3. THE ABILITY
         The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

         4. THE GRACE
         People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

         5. THE ORDER
         No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
  
         6. THE SACRIFICE
         Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

         7. THE TENDERNESS
         Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

         8. THE TRAINING
         The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
        
         9. THE MEDIA
         They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No sensationalizing.Only calm reportage.

         10. THE CONSCIENCE
         When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left кетли

         When will Indians get this civilized attitude?

         A solution kept flashing in my mind..

            Revise all school textbooks; make sure that they have more topics on corruption as 

            a sin in value studies.                   

         May be after 20 to 30 years,we may sweep this plethoric corruption from our holy land..

         Do you think this will work?

India’s IMPERIOUS (?!?) victory in world cup 2011

The entire nation celebrated the victory of India. It was really “A dream come true” after 28 years.Hats off to you and your men Mr.Dhoni.But due to the friction between India and Pakistan, victory against Pakistan was celebrated much more than victory against Lankans.

From the beginning I was not impressed by Indian Team’s performance right from the match against Bangladesh (Poor bowling), England (that match should have been won) etc.

I was even about to write a post regarding their performance (;))..But matches after qualifying for semifinals (esp. Australia) got me dumbstruck. 

Finally Men in blue bagged world cup.
