Anguish for losing innocent lives in Mumbai terror attack.

Corruption is at the root of all our problems-- all basic values, excellence, integrity of person , profession get compromised in corrupt environs. It is not a matter of just an individual remaining above personal gains in terms of money, but many of of our honest officers allow gross corruption by the powers in return for own power and position, facilitate robbing public money by the political bosses, justifying that after all they need the funds for their party etc; a hollow premise.

This is actually distorting our values- projects with bloated estimates, get cleared not for merit but for immediate benefit of return on the basis of percentage to the clearing authorities. Good people doing this knowingly, do the mistake of lending their righteous faces to mask the wrong doings of the system. I believe we should not forget our Father of Nation in this matter. Means also are important. Once compromise starts, there is no line you can draw; this far and no further: enough is enough kind of statements do not help. Zero tolerance is what we must agree upon in all walks of life. Excellence, sense of pride in our nation are now words in dictionary.

Procurement, import , import, stack money out of country , seem to be the sole occupation to the detriment of our national talent to be useful in our country. Yes our talent is used outside the country. Good people when they allow the criminal activities and perpetrators to go scotfree , by just keeping mum, thinking any way they are not part of it, actually are abettors of crime.

We are witnessing the strange case of Supreme Court also confirming after judicial process the verdict on a terrorist, but the government has been unwilling to act! What is the great message we give to the policemen who fought to protect the Parliament, some losing their lives in the process? The media is cool to this. The media is another example of degenerated institution lost in TRPs and advertisement revenue.

Evil to succeed we need only good people to remain silent. Draupadi syndrome graphically illustrates this so well. But we refuse to learn.

It is so sad to see the NSG so poorly equipped- we have money to spend on all sorts of fancy items for the politicians, but the NSG does not seem to have even night vision and infrared vision devices to check rooms without opening the doors. Wonder if they have encrypted internal communication network for coordination. These are areas for using imported latest technologies. But we spend on importing technologies which are available even in India to the detriment of Indian industry, in the name of improving competition.

Intelligence is too rare a commodity and we must honour the same. A society which routinely discounts intelligent and honest persons of the country and allows the boot licking spine less persons to rise to positions of influence, the same variety gets promoted more and more and it is a self-feeding syndrome.

Promotions, payscales, pensions, parity, dissatisfactions, skewed equations of reward vs responsibility in our society, with dilution of accountability at every stage all add up to the sorry state we are in.

Till now common men endured not knowing where to go or to whom to appeal. But now the top brass is hit.The hand of Bhasmasur is now hovering over the heads of top brass. Hope we will get a leader who can speak the truth and turn the tide, now at least.

I wont be surprised to find the political bosses and now five star hotels & business houses too increasing the commando strength, government and private, further to keep
themselves more secure!

The holistic approach to tackle the problem from fundamentals will be still missing in near future, I feel. We lack visionary leaders with compassion and a heart for the down trodden.
