Diatribes!

Ev
er since I set foot on my motherland, I have done little else but rant and rave... much to the detriment of my blood pressure and stress quotient! About all sorts of things...About the traffic mayhem on the roads of Delhi. About people driving through red lights while the cops watch idly. About auto rickshaw drivers who sail past my waving hand while my brains fry in 40 degree C heat. About fat cats and corporates who spend loads of filthy lucre on on IPLs and so-called CSR programs but turn into blank walls when called upon to fund 30 second spots (aimed at encouraging children to learn what their parents refuse to) that cost a measly Rs 4 lakhs.
What does it take to bread through blank walls of indifference? What should one do to stir up public wrath against those who think the roads and public spaces belong to their forefathers and hence can be treated with disdain and a total lack of consideration? When will people realise that they themselves are to blame for disasters like the BRT and not just the government because it's the people who won't listen learn or mend their ways when it comes to following the rule of law?
Will anyone ever listen? And learn?

Hello, Bosey!
Excellent post and nice photo.
Good luck.
Diatribes!!
I am residing in Delhi for the past 20yrs. have seen her growing from chaos to chaos and better and worse chaos...
whom are we complaining? I have no complaints as a citizen of india or citizen of delhi. Why we cant stand the other person being rude to you or being hostile to you or hostile to the nation..or civilisation ??
Think about what we do as individuals... Ask yourself the following questions every day.. maybe by end of a day..
1.How many times I have violated any of the law of the land (be social, be economical, be law and order, traffic etc. etc) today ?
2.How many times I did not do what I was supposed to do..?
3.How many occassions were there that I could have mannerred better ?
4.Did I bribe or being bribed today?
5.Have you ever taken a favour ?
6.Have you ever performed an undue favour for the sake of your friendship/money etc.?
6.Have ever misused a power vested on you for your personal unauthorised reasons?
Let that be small..minute..or macro.. but have you ever ???
We seldom find a person in this country who has been perfectly doing all those things that one is supposed to do.. Its difficult..really difficult, may be the degrees vary from one person to another. that is the only difference.
As it is normally said "corruption is a word normally used by people who wont get a chance to do corruption" Always sour grapes! when you are at helm of affairs, you will also do what others did..
I am not discouraging anyone.. my idea is also not that.. but I said this to emphasise the need that every indian need to know that problem lies in him..or her.. not with others..
please stop complaining..try to do something worthwhile...
thats my mantra.. and kudos to all.. lets all pray for a better nation and work towards it..
