When you post something of a very serious nature,you at max receive(a paltry) 3 comments...and when you end up posting useless stuff about a "mesmerizing beauty/beauties(MB)",you go onto receive more than 10 comments(unofficial included).This more often than not inhibits one from taking up serious issues(and also you start pondering about the nature of friends you have made over the years...lolz).But I wouldn't be taken aback......
Intellectuals and intelligentsia are also a part of my group(before you start thinking me a buffoon)and on one such discussion over a few cups of coffee,one revered member suddenly pitches in "kuch bhi bol..apna India is the best country in the world...only if one could do something about this 'corruption' thing" This thing struck me hard..though like other Indians I forgot the issue within a few minutes!!
The same day,I was going over to a friends place for dinner(he had obviously invited me..change your opinion about me) and en route the traffic police stopped me and asked me to produce legal papers of the vehicle...They weren't there..I went up to him,"nahin hai uncleji,chhod dijiye na plz"..."thik hai",he said...now this man's going to ask for something I cannot even dream to pay and eventually he'll settle at something I still cannot pay...I thought to myself!!!
But to my surprise the man said,"dus rupiya dijiye,aur nikal lijiye"..Rs 10 was affordable(I don't care what you think about me)..but wasn't this supposed to be too less for a bribe..
The following day after a lot of searching and stuff,I found out that a Traffic Constable gets paid a meagre Rs 99 per day...so what I paid him up,was almost 10% of his daily income...it might not count for someone like us..but for him it does!!
Basically what I want to say is that there is no point blaming the traffic constable...the problem lies with us....why do we go ahead and pay bribe to evade legal hassles??why do plenteous people have to evade taxes which eventually makes governmental reforms for such employees inconceivable and further them retorting to unfair means!!!Moreover what can you expect when the population goes up at this rate...it makes a mockery of any planning either industry,agriculture,education...
So what we're facing now is a direct consequence of what we or our brethren is doing..come on YOUNGISTAAN it's time we make a difference..
MERA DESH MAHAAN!!!

You are right in your thinking that we should abide by the governmental ceiling on tax.But i dont think this would end corruption.People engross in bribery not to cater to their basic amenities but to afford their luxuries.However in a country like india, proper tax payment will definitely enhance our GDP to a great extent which can be used to serve other useful purposes.To end corruption,there needs to be a change in the mindset of our people.
@papu
if all governmental schemes are properly employed..i think there'll be enough for common man's luxury too..so be d change u want to see!!
Haha..just 10 min b4 ur incidnt...i too gav him 10 rs 4m my pockt..(as same route 4 both us to that dinnr party )..givin in 2 furthr more corruption or "dayalupanthi"..wateva u may call it !!! :)
paying 10 rupees and evading the legal hassle is a lot better option than to actually face the music.
and evading taxes can be a individual's way to ensure that government gets less money to squander on making statues of chief ministers(as in UP).Afterall we all know that bureaucracy, corruption and poor governance make a deadly combination to render all reforms ineffective and public money goes in pockets of a few.
