Recently I met a girl pursuing her masters from Delhi. On talking to her I found that after her exams she will be going to her hometown for which she has not taken rail reservation yet. Its just 20 days left for her departure and no reservation. On knowing this I asked her why she has not taken the reservations to which she she calmly and sarcastically replied that she never take ticket before in hand instead she prefers buying ticket from rail superintendent paying him bribe for seat. This statement of her startled me…I was shocked and couldn’t understand why she has to pay bribe and why doesn’t she buy clean ticket for her self. She was unable to explain the fact. She was proud of paying extra money for her ticket. This was the same girl whom I met in Anna Hazare’s candle march. There she was standing as supporter to him, being a part of his fight against corruption.
I feel pitty for our country, people participating in such moments are themselves so corrupt that even God mite sumtimes think what to do with them. These are those people who shout on street and debate on how corrupt our country is but they don’t know that they are the biggest loop hole of our society. Such people are major threat to the country. I feel bad for my nation that even after 60yrs of independence we are not free and struggling to come out of the chains of corruption. Sitting on hunger strike will not work now, each one of us should take initiative of poking people around us and lighting a right path n front of them.
