Actually I have no idea where the buck stops. Once upon a time Rajiv Gandhi's 64cr scam which by the way is still being probed looked huge but now Raja ji beats all .The uncrowned king of scamsters has made India poorer by just 170,000 Cr.
Is corruption synonymous to the political infrastructure of our motherland? Recently a CWG official who is neck deep in the scam involving the most uncommon wealth games said"Thoda bahut to chalta hai".Do you have an idea how much this so called Thoda has cost the common Indian taxpayer's pocket? A whooping 70,000cr by the official figures. If this is Thoda ,I hope to live to see what is bahut?
Irony lies in the fact that same common man forgot all about the loot of his hard earned money after the eye wash provided by the opening and closing ceremony of the games. Just today the newspaper reads about an IAS official who demanded sex or money as bribe to clear files which came to him for consideration.
Every week a new scam is unearthed. Like the Friday movie release the breaking news débuts a fresh skeleton from the cuboard.And believe me the more I read the more I feel that it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Even god may not have the exact figures about the amount of money these tainted politicians may have stacked in their Swiss bank lockers.
Thus the million dollar question is when this chalta hai attitude will will evolve into bas bahut ho gaya.
So is the situation grim?
YES
Is the law of the land strong enough to bring these khadi clad culprits to book?
YES
When and how that’s a conclusion Ill love to pen down someday.

Book ,TV or Internet
"If you read a lot of books you are considered well read
But if you watch a lot of TV, you’re not considered well viewed."
Lily Tomlin
Well yes this statement is so true .In today’s world where the craving for knowledge ,information and entertainment is so high don't you feel a little left out if you just sit back with a book; where as on the other hand your idiot box may provide you all these three in a package in just a few minutes.
Children know so much because of television and so by not allowing them to watch TV I think parents would be shunning their own kiddos from an exposure which cannot be fathomed.
There was a time when people thought that TV was killing books and now is the time when there is a huge debate that internet is killing the books.
The truth is all the three have their own merits and demerits .And as far as books are concerned neither TV nor internet can match the depth of knowledge provided by the books.
Or for that matter don't you enjoy reading your favorite author sitting lazily on Sunday afternoon on your favorite couch. Nothing can beat a nice book read when you are on a journey.
Concluding just want to say that all the three TV, INTERNET, and BOOKS have their own group of takers.
So what’s my take? Well all the three dishes on the platter are great you just need to enjoy them at the right time and in the right proportion
