India Against Corruption

I didn't get a chance to check my B School Alumni mail last week. So I came to know about http://www.indiaagainstcorruption.org/ while sorting through those mails today morning. I haven't checked it out yet but I don't trust my memory these days and so decided to post the link here before it got swept clean by Monday morning work :-)

इक मस्जिदके बाहर लिखा था:

खुदाके पास आपकी दुआ सुननेके लिये बहोत वक्त है
पर क्या आपके पास दुआ मांगनेके लिये वक्त है?

Think about it over the weekend!

How to make the fight against corruption more effective?

Register your opinion here - How to make the fight against corruption more effective? I did.

A very very hectic week! Not a moment of peace in sight and I am sure that my BP must have crossed its normal limit a record number of times. One of my team members said that we will have less hassles when all the processes are in place. I remarked that either there will be less hassles or we would get used to the hassles by then :-( It felt so much like the CWG preparations. The athletes are at the door and the stadium is still under construction! It grates on me more because I normally don't leave things till the very last minute. But now I am beginning to wonder if this is how we Indians make sure that the things get done - by keeping them pending till the very last minute :-(

Oh well, that's how life goes, I guess. I would have said "Battle on, Xena" but I much prefer the Indian version of the Warrior Princess - The Queen of Zansi who gave the British a run for their money! :-)

अर्झ किया है...

उठे है जब हाथ, बदली है किस्मते
मजबूर है खुदाभी दुवाओंके सामने

I am a regular reader of Monika Halan's column "Expense Account" in The Mint. I was in for a pleasant surprise yesterday when I started reading it. Check out the story at the beginning - Why today isn’t Democracy Day.

If this story is true, HATS OFF to the people at that restaurant that day! This country needs more of you, my friends and they need to come out of the woodwork NOW!
