Corruption

- India’s corruption watchdog, Central Vigilance Commission, pointed out irregularities in more than a dozen projects and questioned the quality of the venues. Huge piles of rubble and rubbish, a collapsed roof, hanging wires, leaky walls, broken tiles and an incomplete stadium have become the visual staple of daily newspapers and television channels.
- Scandal after scandal has been unraveled revealing kickbacks, shadowy off-shore firms, forged emails, inexplicable payments to bogus companies and inflated bills — for every purchase from toilet paper to treadmills.
-- Present Maharashtra Chief Minister Sri Ashok Chavan on 30th Sept offered to resign over allotment of flats in Mumbai meant for war heroes to unauthorised people.

Are the things as described above come under the perview of corruption?. Then, first of all the question arises what is " Corruption " ? It may be defined as :
- impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle or depravity
- decay, decomposition of moral or social values
- inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means (as bribery, force, to corece etc.)
- a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct
- anarchy (an agency or influence that corrupts)

Corruption is a phenomena by which all are affected in one form or another. Yet, it is also true that majority of us do not want to speak against it. All are afraid (expect a few) but no body wants to resist. There is tendency to blame others. Buck passing seems to be an easiest way. In fact no body wants or tries to evaluate himself.
Corruption has become a way of life in many countries. It is real but unfortunate that our country has also got entrapped by it. For small bribes bribe paid during railway booking, traffic police to multi-million Rupees kickbacks for officials who hold sway over the vast economy of the country.
The 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International has awarded the most clean slot to Denmark, New Zealand and Singapore with a score of 9.3, while Somalia has been declared the most corrupt country with a score of 1.1 on a scale from 10 (highly clean) to 0 (highly corrupt).
India stands at the 87th position by scoring 3.3,, while its neighbour Pakistan ended up with the 143th rank with a score of 2.3.China and Brazil, the other two major emerging economies, were ranked at 78th and 69th respectively by Transparency International.
Russia, meanwhile, slide down the global corruption league to joint 154th with Cambodia, Kenya and Laos. It was Russia's lowest ranking since the index began in 1995. Last year it was 146th.
The Index clearly shows that nearly three quarters of the 178 countries in the index score below five, indicating a serious corruption problem in many of the countries. It is also evident from the living standard,amount of development and prosperity of the people in that specific country. In India, we may also see the same phenomena in different states.
One cannot battle corruption with words and nice bits of paper.It can not bring success. It has to be won by involving all the persons otherwise the struggle with corruption will come to a dead end. Only a handful of people can not fight corruption. It is required to be fought on individual level as well as together at the level of Organisation and society. Corrupt persons are more powerful than others.

पागलपन

पागलपन क्या है ? पागल कौन है? क्या पागल वह व्यक्ति है दुनिया के बकवास को नहीं मानता? क्या समाज जिसे पागल करार दे, वह पागल है? कौन सा ऐसा व्यक्ति है जो गुस्से में पागल नहीं होता ? धन, सम्पति या शक्ति पाने के बाद किसे पागलपन का नशा नहीं छाता ?
"पागल" शब्द अपने आप में एक दुनिया समेटे हुए है. किसी को पागल कह देना एक आम बात है. कभी नीचा दिखाने के लिए, कभी सम्पति हड़पने के लिए या किसी अन्य कारणों से पागल के रूप में प्रचारित करना एक आम बात है.

What to write ?

It is very difficult to write for me. First the question arises what to write? There are so many things upon which we are able to write? In the jing-jang or jungles of titles one get perplexed.Mind starts wandering from one subject to another. It is never able to concentrate on one subject.
If we are able to pass the initial hurdle then the question arises how to write? There are so many poses, styles available for writing on a subject. Again the mind gets involved in the whirling. Starts searching the different material available here and there.
