The Next Thirty Days...Day 26 (A few questions on Lokpal Bill)

It took almost 150 years (hope the number is correct...kindly confirm) for India to win her freedom from a handful of Britishers (it's too small a country vis-a-vis the size and population of India).....Now honestly consider the Lokpal Bill...how long will it take to eradicate or for that matter to minimize corruption from the mammoth of population that practices it and equally vehement number that unfortunately has no option but to support it. Now consider the following questions -

Have we become so naive to believe that the Lokpal Bill eradicate and is the only solution for a corruption free India?

What are the chances that the Lokpal Bill will be implemented in its truest spirit? More importantly what happens when the Lokpal Bill fails to deliver?

Given the population, geographic spread and diversity of India do we have a mechanism that can facilitate implementation to grass root level? Do we have so many spotless and incorruptible people who will implement it with focus and commitment  towards the nation?

If your answer for the previous question is ....then why can't we have same focus and commitment now? Why do we need a Lokpal Bill for that?

How many of us have really read the Constitution of India? 

How many of us do believe the Constitution of India?

It is a great work and lays guidelines for almost everything that touches our lives (yeah...I did bit of reading and was surprised to find explicit and well laid out procedures which if implemented will surely help curb corruption and will pave way for the future India)

That brings me to the question if we can't practice and implement the Constitution of India in committed and focused way...how are we going to implement the Lokpal Bill?

I can go on and on....but that is not the case ...I too have a dream of better India.

I personally feel and it is my humble opinion let us all believe in the Constitution of India which surprisingly if implemented can resolve a lot issues for us.

So once let's get our basics right..let's believe in the Constitution of India that has got us this far and let's demand that it be implemented in its true spirit and essence.

Just  a simple example is the CAG report. It was the CAG report that brought out the huge discrepancies in 2G and Commonwealth Games. The CAG did not buckle under pressure. (So there are good people around who continue to do their work. Support them instead.) And how many of us do know that CAG is a body constituted under the Constitution of India.

So give India a fair chance.

You Are Not The Only One

You just stumbled upon a brilliant idea. You have to come to believe its a gem of an idea. You have a strong intuition its going to be game changer. You want to turn it into an enterprise. You are excited, since your long cherished entrepreneurial dream is now sure to see daylight. You start putting things in place in run up to your dream venture. You are fiercely protective of your idea and taking every precaution to not let it out. Somehow you believe, you are the only one ever to think about it and if you do share it with someone else, chances are - they may rob you of the idea. So you are not willing to let your guard down. And therefore are reluctant to share, discuss and deliberate the idea with anyone else. At times, even with some who might help you shape and execute the idea. The anxiety and the insecurity of loosing your baby (that too even before its been thoroughly conceived) holds you back. If this is what you have experienced and this what you still believe. Let m...

The Worst and The Best.

What's the worst thing you can possibly do in your life? Make mistakes. Do something terribly wrong. Goof up something. Be where you were not meant to be. Wrong decisions that you made. The list can go on and on. You can add to it. But to me, whatever you add to the list above never will be the worst thing your life.There is always something or the other to pick up and learn from a mistake, a goof up, a wrong choice. And they are not the worst things, because you at least did something, rather than not doing anything at all. So what then is the worst thing you can do in your life? The worst thing you can do is do nothing at all. Yes, not doing anything at all is worst mistake you can make. For  it is then you cede control of your life. You are no longer the master of your fate. Rather fate or somebody else dictates your life on their terms. So what is it that you are waiting for? Go ahead make a move. Do something. Even if it's tip toeing. Just do it. For t...

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...
