What d common man wants...

almost a year since i blogged...part of d blame goes 2 myself for being lazy n part also since its easier to twit than to write a blog...so here to my 1st n d last blog for 2011...

me aint n expert at a subject like lokpal...but with all d hullabaloo over it sometime back n again yesterday's turn of events within our Parliament made me ponder...

what it is tht d common man wants.....he wants his basic needs to b met - roti / kapda / makaan....add education / medical  n think he wud b more than happy if in d current system he has enuf opportunities to meet these needs

unfortunately with d state of affairs in India, corruption has engulfed d whole system...n for each n everything someone has to b greased....

part of d blame lies with us also for letting d system flourish without protesting...someone will counter - how can we change d system n looking at our reqts - we wanna get things done faster / bypass d normal process / regularize stuff etc etc...so we r also happy with it

d current legal system has failed miserably- read in paper tht a railway's minister murder was being heard for last 38 yrs....

hence there is need for something where d common man can go for raising his grievances.....frankly he is fine if its lok pal / joke pal / existing legal system or anything else where things r solved n solved promptly !!! ppl shud have respect 4 d system n also at d same time there shud b enuf fear in those ppl who wanna break d system....they shud know tht if they get caught, they will b punished swiftly

n trust me we have no problems as far funding to create such a system....we have spent 4.45L crs in last decade on Defense..n v still have Kargils / 26.11 n no of terrorist attacks....

every year we r spending 2L crs + on schemes like NREGA / procurement n storage of food grain (even if if storage is inadequate such tht it get rotten...) / fuel like petrol / diesel etc...tell me why shud diesel b subsidized for fuel guzzler cars like Merc / fortuners or for tht matter even Swift Desires n Indicas...if u can afford a car u aint poor n u have 2 pay for its fuel......

point what i wanna make is we need have a will to change d way things r being dealt in our country for good of d ppl....

if parliament can do on its own...gr8...

if they cant n ppl like Team Anna can arm twist them for this end goal tht also shud b fine too...

ending on this note n lookin fwd to 2012 wit abated breath for a better "India..."
