Real test!


It's so damn easy to say I'm against corruption, it's so damn easy to participate in a support rally, it's so damn easy to follow pages on Facebook saying India Against Corruption, its so damn easy to take that oath, it's so damn easy to get aggressive and say things you would do against corruption, etc etc...
But it isn't that easy when the moment comes when you are in front of an officer and he clearly asks for a bribe and you wonder, what to do now? If still you end up wondering what to do? then my friend, if you happen to fulfill their hunger then I will not be surprised and will not blame you as well.
Actually, it's very easy to support something but when real situations come, when you have to show what you want to do, if you could actually do it or not, only then will you know what guts and efforts it require to go against somebody's demands and say a big and clear NO! That no matter what happen I would not bribe.
Don't you know what can happen when and where? Atleast some situations are so very clear, since your birth you would have heard about them that at such point in time those people take advantage and ask for a bribe.
If you had already heard that going at a particular government office you will be asked bribe by somebody, can't you be prepared for the answer you would give in such circumstances? Then what would you do in unknown situations?
It's not that easy, as I said, but then we had already heard and learned as well that every right path goes with difficulties so does this and hence you should have been prepared for it knowing the circumstances. If you can't then please, its of no use to show off in front of others that you are in support with some cause, that you have great aggression in you and this aggression will stay with you at that time when you would face such a situation when it would be required, then its of no use to feel guilty about it that you bribed.
The cause need participation of strong people and not fake ones.
Then those who bribe and not support such things are better in front of those who support and end up paying bribe and then feel guilty about it.
Better think before doing than to think after bribing when every damn possibility of doing something ends.
Be strong!
Learn to say No, they can't do anything just remember it!
But funnily, in such situations the one who is wrong should feel guilty and be ashamed and should feel the need to have strength to ask for a bribe but when the right ones don't exercise their rights the wrong ones get encouragement to continue doing wrong and right ones later on could only crib about, "iss desh ka kya hoga thing." For their kind information, if citizens like them would continue to exist then "iss desh ka kuch nahi hoga." And because of them others will also continue to face problems and in all nothing will seem to change as you don't want to change and you don't have guts to change.
Obviously things would not ultimately change but we will have to change them. That too with great efforts and strength and strong determination.


Happy Republic Day!
