From the time we have started of
our schooling I think we all have learned about different types of pollution
such as land, water and air. How many of you have thought about rectifying it
and working over it in order to avoid it. I think very few of you would raise
their hand in acceptance. This is because we think that even if we do something
it wouldn’t make a big difference. Just because there are thousands others who
are least considerate about what we do, I say that shouldn’t be our reason to
stop.
But there is a different type of
pollution which many of you may have blind eyed to. Just because of the reason
we have started to enjoy it, doesn’t mean it is right. You might be thinking
what am I trying to tell you here. And the answer to your question is
“CORRUPTION”. However you contradict; no I haven’t ever bribed or anything, you
know somewhere you have certainly bribed in; to get what you desired for. As we
progress in life I would say the devil in us just keeps on growing to levels
beyond.
Let’s take the life cycle in consideration from being just
born – to schooling-
College - job and so on. It starts with our parents paying a
bribe for us. Like getting us an admission into our or their desired school or
college. Here we have kept our first step in the school of bribe. Be proud that
you have passed level one. Many of you know that it is against the rule to give
donation but we don’t refrain because our need is of most priority. We don’t
think that maybe if we had studied a bit more or worked hard we could have got
through without paying donation. We think it’s our parent’s obligation to pay
the donation for us. Hasn’t anyone of you felt bad they had to do so just
because of us? I felt bad that my parent’s had to pay a donation once. And
since then I have made a point that if I get into any where it should be on my
merits and not bank balance. True many of us think or don’t know when a
situation arises. I would say consult or place a complaint in your respective
university. It should help you and also the inconsiderate. I say this is
necessary, because there are a lot of students who have studied hard and scored
better, but just because of a certain few wealthy undeserving brats these kids
don’t get what’s deserved to them. I know if you are the one paying it then you
wouldn’t make a move. But all said is make a move, if you feel it’s wrong and
be an example to the few who would want to follow you.
We have completed our studies and
moved out of the level one for corruption. Now we have a job and in that
process maybe we get caught in some legal problems or so on. Here again we are
ready to pay, to save our asses. We have money that’s why we stand up to pay
the bribe or the amount asked right. If we wouldn’t have had the sum, we would
have painfully slogged through the legal manner right. This happens because we
have seen people pay and think “ya if he can why not me do the same.” Yes it
gets work done fast, but think again why not cut this crucifix - the people
accepting the bribe and probably people would be scared to pay or accept it as
well. Don’t you think this would then bring a change? How may of you have
viewed the ad campaign to bring a change by ‘Tata Tea’. If not then view it now.
I am certain that it shows truth and simple real time changes that can be
brought in by saying NO. The sting operations performed by certain news
channels had bought a reformation. But as soon as the things calmed down people
sought back to their old paths, because we aren’t strong willed.
OK that was level two lets enter
level three. We got our family and have got settled in life. We have kids and a
house and all that we have desired. Now still our debt to the corruption god
hasn’t been stopped. Now its turn for us to pay for our young ones this time to
get them through in life academically and so on. We say we are educated then
why not act as one. Stop it now! At least when we can. We point out to our kids
that it wrong and we shouldn’t follow it. Nuts!!! are we worthy to say so
because I feel since the time we have known our priority we have been a part of
this cross loop of corruption. Knocking door to door only to find the devil
opening it. Where is our angel who would get us through straight and perfect?
It’s inside us where we haven’t searched yet. Let’s make a move towards
reformation and try for bringing in a change for ourselves and our society. We
say pollution can destroy our life and so for our future generation. Yes it
does and CORRUPTION stands tall in the game. Finish it out and one after the
other everything would settle in right.
Good thought eby... :)
