Right, so now everybody is all fired up and feeling patriotic about Anna Hazare's recent, and going on fight against corruption. Don't get me wrong, I am 100% behind his cause, but before we trash the government for all the corruption its been doing, I think we need to do a little introspection here. Are we all anti-corrupt??? if we examine our daily life, we can see countless examples where we bend the rules to get our own way. Not convinced??? lets see..
- You are in a train, the TTE comes along and you find out that you don't have your ID card with you. You and the TTE retire to a corner. It's all hush-hush for a few minutes, and then both you and him resume their respective work...familiar situation???
- You're in a long queue at a Government office, but then you realise you know the person sitting at the counter, so suddenly you jump from person no. 156 to person no. 3
- You want to see a movie, and you call for reservations, but the theatre has just informed you that tickets are not available right now. so you call your friends uncle, whose friend is the owner of the theatre.. and then BAM! you're watching the movie in the next show.
- You want an admission for your child at one of the leading schools, but its already past admission time, so you add in a little donation...problem solved!
- You accidentally jump a redlight, and the policeman catches you. You inform the policeman that you're a relative of the local MLA or something, so you're let off with a 'warning'.
