india rebooted

Things are definitely wrong when you realize that the citizens of the worlds largest democracy are coming onto the streets in support of a movement which defies the logic, principles, basics and whatnot of democracy..

Corruption is bad, granted and accepted.. But why wud u have to put a bunch of unelected citizens to monitor elected peoples representatives? Why elect them in the first place?

For even a small dosage of commonsense coupled with a little cynicsm will tell you that for a bunch who can never dream of getting into the corridors of power through democratic methods, resort to using the pent up anger of the working middleclass fuel their jumps over the whatever whatever they want to jump over.

Stopping corruption at the 'grassroots' level shud mean exactly that, weed out the lower levels and top level falls.

Shades of tyranny? I definitely see that coming..and in a not so saffron shade.. Who's to vouch for integrity of the members of the committe which's going to monitor the elected? We wud need a circuit lokpal to monitor the munna lokpal.. And who's goin to lokpal circuit?

Easy for me to say, stop fasting and instead stop giving your traffic cop chaipani kharcha..

Corruption isn't about only paying a bribe to get ur work done.. Its about everything we do to cut corners.. Missing a code review to get to the checkin faster-corruption.. Sneaking past ppl in a queue-qUeuestically corrupt.. Paying 500rs for darshan-faithistically corrupt.. Blabberland

Am I corrupt? Oh yes.. And instead of blaming the primeminister for it.. I choose not to be give into it..it..

Will lokpal solve rising food prices? Or bring down real estate prices?
All I can see it doing is to get a bunch of orange puppets put ppl's mandate out of commission..

Adios
I wish I was color blind
