You would have probably fought it out or settled for what you got right?//<BR/>Ravi...this is not particular to the berth alone....I think it was you who wrote abt educating your maid's daughter..rt?<BR/>Is it fair situation ? Are we anyway better than that poor girl , except that we were born to affluent parents ?<BR/>Everything depends on affordability , at some point even we are victims.<BR/><BR/>I understand this is the root cause..but I dont want to fight the easy fights Ravi...there is no point penalising the poor TT , he has to pay the flying squad..and it goes on. It may make me appear a weakling...but so be it.<BR/><BR/>You did not consider the businessmen I was talking about..I dont mean Guru..the real ones in Chennai who have to keep an Indian flag in the glove-compartment all the time..for God knows when a politician wld ask for the car !<BR/>What is that businessman's plight ?<BR/>Just b'cos they are doing things for these politicians , they are not bad or cruel ppl. They are family men just like other salaried employees.<BR/><BR/>But , all said and done..I dont criticise ppl like you who have ideals and stick by it , on the contrary I appreciate and admire you ppl . It needs great determination to stand up to all the pressure.<BR/><BR/>As for me , I choose to be guided by my conscience .Sree's Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382073679931162696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864347662751676685.post-66805922243604418762007-03-15T15:52:00.000+05:302007-03-15T15:52:00.000+05:30wow... finally a non-IT for a change...why don't u...wow... finally a non-IT for a change...<BR/>why don't u write something ban on entry of foreign law firms in India.unfuel the planethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713046310367914999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864347662751676685.post-86320131583457383932007-03-15T15:36:00.000+05:302007-03-15T15:36:00.000+05:30Sree, I haven't watched Guru as yet but don't you ...Sree, I haven't watched Guru as yet but don't you feel, going by your point, that this is how the corruption starts and replicates to bigger levels? Infact that is the same theme in Anniyan as well. Even in our own country we have ended up in a situation where today (as quoted in "Indian"), we need to grease a palm even to do one's duty. <BR/><BR/>If you ask me if its worth fighting it (as in the case of the train berth quoted by you), then definitely "Yes". By doing so, we trigger off a new practice which would probably inspire others to follow suit and but not doing also, we set a new practice - of getting the easy way out. More than wasting time, I think its about "looking good" feeling. People wonder what would happen if they start a fight - about their image, about a possible embarassment.<BR/><BR/>And its for sure that corruption starts with the affordablem class. What if you did not have that extra hundreds for the berth? You would have probably fought it out or settled for what you got right?<BR/><BR/>So dont look at it as just 5 paisa or wasting 5 mins.
