… are we paying taxes?
….are the people who are responsible to provide us with basic amenities like drinking water, power etc.. failing miserably?
Where is the change we have been voting for?
We Voted for Victory of Virtues over Vices; but are there really any?
My heart aches and tears roll down incessantly to see people dying by consumption of contaminated water

What’s more ridiculous is that the officials know about the problem for years now.
After bearing the brunt of the power woes in the scorching summer i.e after suffering alternate hour power cuts the entire day the day before and then the unscheduled ones which they say may continue for another week, this was what we got to hear. Unfortunate
They don’t fail to take our taxes on time. Is this the quality of life we deserve for working hard and paying taxes religiously? Is this what our children have to see and learn about India?
Is India really going to shine?
Very strong post Swaram & I so understand your frustration coz I too feel the same way!!
I was telling my husband the other day that the politicians are ONLY interested in filling their pockets. To hell with the country.
I find certain countries very interesting that way. Once the politicians have served their country in their capacities, they go back to doing want interests them. There is nothing demeaning about that for them.
And as long we have these bloody dogs bleeding our country dry, we will not be able to shine!
@Monika: Its sad rt that there’s a retirement age everywhere n these ppl just keep filling their pockets n do nothing else till they have a place on earth
@Butterfly: I cant believe myself that I am the one who was telling hubby I cant go with him abroad as I want to stay in India only. I never used to oblige to see any match for my wedding if they were staying elsewhere; not any blind love for the Motherland or something but I somehow wanted that our parents can have us by their side whenever they want. And now, I see myself telling him that inspite of slogging so hard come what may, we deserve to lead a quality life atleast for a few years
Can’t we ever look for such a life here?
The basic problem is tht corruption is a way of life in our country.
I still feel there is hope….tho it will be slow coz our population is HUGE.
If only the younger EDUCATED generation took an active interest in the way their country is run.
So true Nancy; my neighbours dont join us when we tell them we can all go together and talk to the Elec Board authorities. They are so casual about it!
We just cant vote for change; each of us have to be a part of it rt?
That’s the way it has always been innit? They know the problem but still do nothing about it. As you rightly mentioned where is the change?. There is a need for our country women/men to change their outlook. Change the way we handle situations. I guess only then would these whatstheirname politicians will look up and notice. We claim to be the biggest democratic country and when it comes to electing the candidates we fall behind. Only 40% of the people (average) vote in our country. what about the rest? People don’t really care to vote and the same reflects on the people who come to power. It’s a cycle I tell you. Where do we start to end it?
Anyway I hope they have taken measures to clean that poisonous water
That’s the sad part Shruthi. It has been the same and nobody is trying to change it. We talk abt it and wait for the change. R we expecting miracles to happen? 26/11 shook everyone of their feet and so many of us marched for a change, but how many did really go n vote? The figures are pathetic. How long do we keep waiting that someone else does it for us? Its a vicious circle and I just feel so helpless!
All we could hear at 1:00 a.m today around our place was the sound of the ambulance. The people of the affected area tried to make the officials drink the same water and were lathi-charged
That’s what they got for having lost their near n dear ones.
Oh no
That’s pathetic.. wonder if they in fact have anything called as conscience ..
When u get back, u r going to tell me how I can change my pathetic blog page into something more pleasing. I see that u have found a way to outdo blogger. And u r going to let in me in on it.
@Butterfly: Sure gal! If u really feel I know something, am honoured and happy to help
