It is no use watching news these days. The channels are either talking about the Indian cricket team's test series against England - which is nothing to write home about. Or they are covering Mr. Hazare's fast. Every time I see the crowds wearing "I Am Anna" caps or chanting slogans, I feel disturbed.

Do they even realize that a strong Lokpal Bill will not clean up the corruption in their daily lives? That they will have to do more than turning up in droves at Ramlila or Azad Maidan? That they will have to resolve not to accept or give bribes and stick to it, no matter what?

Are these people expecting a bit too much out of this? What if their expectations are not met?

Will they be scarred for life? Will they lose whatever faith that they have left that the things can change for the better? Mr. Hazare, I hope to God that you have thought all this out. If not, you would have done this country more harm than good. :-(
