With the government having passed a resolution accepting the three points raised by the Anna Hazare Team and thus having ended the public display of strength by Anna Hazare, the immediate stalemate has been averted and the Government can get back to business as usual. However, the Government can not rest easy on the issue of corruption and other pressing matters which Anna Hazare plans to take up in the days to come.
It will be befitting if the Government, in consonance with the opposition parties begins to act on its own accord and cleans up the system before another public showdown. The Government is well aware of the issues which require attention and does not necessarily need to be prodded by Anna Hazare, unless of course they can come to a consensus only when pushed to a corner and under a threat.
Now that the precedence has been set it will take little time to build up public pressure on the Government on burning issues which catches the imagination of the masses. The masses, which are often fickle in a crowd enjoy this new found sense of power to pressurise the Government and make it succumb to its diktats.
The legislation to set up a Lokpal as was forced on the Government by public pressure, may not quite have the magical effect on ground as is being envisioned, however it will instill caution on the various players involved in corruption. Greed and lust are a part of human nature and no legislation and change that. Less than a week had passed after Anna Hazare ended his public drive against corruption, when an Income Tax official was nabbed for accepting a Rs 5 lakh bribe in Mumbai. Perhaps he must have had a thought that he can get away as of now since Lokpal is yet to be appointed.
A few years back when Narsimha Rao was the Prime Minsiter and the Cash for votes scam broke out, I was getting air filled in my car Tyre at one of the road side puncture shops. The small boy at the shop while filling air in the front tyre informed me that the valve needed to be changed. I asked him to do the needful. he went into the shop and came with a valve and replace the one in my tyre. He then went to the other tyre and once again tole me that the valve needed to be changed. I told him to go ahead and started watching him. he removed the second valve and replaced it with the valve he had taken out of the first tyre. I immediately got out of the car and scolded him admonishing him for cheating. His mother who was sitting near by and watching came running and started arguing with me. When I told her that as a mother she should be teaching the right things to her son, she replied "Jab Pradhan Mantri karoron rupaye ke baimani kar sakta hai toh mera beta do char rupaye ke liye kyon nahin kar sakta?" (When the prime Minsiter can get away with crores of Rupees of dishonesty, why can't my son be dishonest for a few rupees?)
The other day there was a short circuit on the electric pole opposite my house and we were without electricity. It was 6 PM at that time. I went and lodged a complaint at the complaint cell. He said "Abhi thik karwana hai toh do sau rupaye lagenge." (If you want to get it repaired now it will cost Rs 200/-). I asked if I do not pay when will it be done, he said it would be done the next day. I asked him why it could not be repaired immediately, he said that the lineman had gone home. I asked him if there was no one on night duty and he replied that the night duty lineman is only for small repair jobs and does not climb the pole. I had two options. Either I pay Rs 200/- or spend a night without electricity during the peak summer month.
While I was sitting in the complaint cell, there was a call to the complaint cell from a cycle factory in the near vicinity and immediately three men were despatched to rectify the fault in the transformer supplying electricity to the factory. When i tried to find out why the complaint from the factory was attended to with such alacrity while my complaint was being ignored, I learnt that the factory pays equivalent to a months wages to the SDO and some other officials of the Electricity department to ensure that there is no power failure and any failure is attended to immediately.
There are umpteen examples of corruption all around us and a vide variety of ways in which it is carried out. It has earned the name of "Sahuliat shulk" (Comfort tax). There is some form of corruption in almost every transaction or dealing. If teh Lokpal was to be burdened by all these cases, there will be a never ending line of complaints. Most people will not take up the cases with the Lokpal as it would be easier to pay the money and get the job done than to waste time over complaining. Yes where the sum of money involved is large, the complaints will certainly be filed.
i don't think that corruption will be vanquished so easily at the lowest levels, but yes high profile cases will certainly get sorted out. The common man will still have to shell out those extra bucks to get small tasks done.

Anna ji We Want Much More Than Just Protests
One thing is absolutely clear from the methods being followed by Anna Hazare - He wants to build up a hysteria with the aim to topple the government. I hope Anna Hazare has the courage to take over the reins of the country too and live up to the expectations of the people who support him. People are saying Anna ji give us good governance. Give us a corruption free Government. Make India the power that the world will envy. Rid India of all the travails and tribulations that plague us. i hope you have a magic wand Anna. The way you have mobilised people to protest is amazing. In the same way you must mobilise people to work harder and longer hours to make India a prosperous nation. Tell the masses that the best form of protest is to work four hours extra per day as the Japanese do, so that the production goes up, work gets completed faster than the normal pace and we have surpluses instead of shortages. That will make India truly great under your leadership.
Anna ji I know that it is easier to mobilise people to protest but extremely difficult to mobilise people to work hard, but given your ability to motivate people, i am sure you will ensure that once you topple the Government and rid India of the Congress, the BJP and all politicians of the old ilk, you will provide sound leadership to take India on the path of progress. If you feel you are too old to lead, you can install your young protégées like Kiran Bedi and Kejriwal. If they are as capable as you, then India can embark on the pat h of progress. There will be no need for reservations. There will be no caste based allocation of resources. Hard work will be rewarded and lethargy and laziness will be penalized.
However, if you chose not to take on the mantles of leadership to led the country and only insist on leading for protests, then I will consider you to be a loser. A LokPal bill is not all that the nation needs. You are only going after creation a deterrent or a stick, to whip the erring masses into submission. You want to create a mechanism whereby anyone who digresses from the right path will be brought to justice at the fastest without the cases lingering in courts for years. That is fine. It is required. But that is not the solution for what ails the country. We have much larger issues which need to be sorted out.
We need food to eat, for that farmers have to work harder. We need machines, for those workers have to work harder in factories. We need good quality ingeniously manufactured armaments for our defence forces, and not imported stuff which comes at 10 times the cost. We need good dams to harness water to produce more electricity. We need housing for the millions, we need good quality roads for transportation. We need people who are honest and will not take a bribe and will not accept commissions. If the people are not corrupt, where is the need of a LokPal? Our needs are unlimited. Can you motivate the masses to work towards achieving these ends? Anna can you make India truly great by bringing in Ram Rajya? Good luck to you and God Bless you. May God give you success in this direction.

A father who failed
i received this from a dear friend of mine. These are his personal views and I concur with him.
A father who failed -- Pritish Nandy( Was the editor of The illustrated weekly and a very prominent journalist)Parenthood is fascinating. You live through excitement, joy, guilt, worry, hope, concern in quick succession and before you know it your children have grown up into young a..... BLA! BLA!! BLA!!!..... and more Bullshit!!!
But...
Former Member of Parliament, and Last Editor of Illustrated Weekly...
Saying "Everything I taught my children has, in effect, handicapped them. It has made them inadequate to face the world they are in. Unfortunately I knew no better. But that does not absolve me from my sense of guilt." ... is confusing because he at no stage admits that Armed Forces yet maintains a very high "human dignity and value system"
If he had produced healthy and intelligent children, with the values he claims to have given his children... surely Armed Forces SSB is ready to welcome such "products" into Services.
With the OLQ his children would demonstrate, surely they would have led a meaningful dignified life.
He then would have been a proud Father, today he is NOT.
Surely he is 'responsible' for his own state...
His mental state is still SAD!!!
Only because defending the country's Dignity, Borders, Democracy, Freedom...etc... is something for Pritish Nandy, what other's KIDs should do, NOT HIS!!!
I declare him "An Image hungry, FRAUD"

Forever Now
I look into your eyes
And see the tender love,
The beauty of innocence.
I long to protect you
By engulfing you in my arms
Snatch you from the world and take you
To an island by the sea
Breathe warmth into you
The way you love
Make you melt
With the touch of our lips
Though you have waited
For what feels like a thousand years
This moment, this one moment of union
Melts the years away.
The boundless joy, the eternal peace
The beauty of the moment,
When we spin around
No moon, no bird, no human exists
Just you and me and time stands still
While I take you now……..
…..and for ever now…..

Fooled by www.365jobs4u.com
There are a large number of companies mushrooming which offer "Form Filling", "Data Entry", "Home Typist" and "Content Writers" jobs and offer lucrative incomes from just a few hours part time work at home. Most of them are frauds and take the general public for a ride. Their sole aim is to collect an initial investment which is kept large enough to fill their coffers, while the payout is negligible or nil. The point to note is that none of them offer the jobs without an initial investment. If it is a job, then why should you pay to join it? These companies are doing nothing other than collecting money from us and paying a few individuals small sums compared to what they collect. That is how they make their income. It is very rare that they pay you for the work done by you.
Their modus operandi is to lure you with lofty earning potentials such as"EARN Rs.100 and more per hour. EARN Rs.1500 and more per day. EARN Rs.50,000 and more per month."or"Do Online Assignments, each of 4-5 lines. Get Paid Rs.5/- to Rs.8/- Per Assignment. Maximum Earning Per Month is Rs.24,000/-."or"For Each Reporting You get Rs.5/- to Rs.30/-. Maximum Earning Rs.35,000/- Per Month"or"Every Copy-Paste Job you'll get Rs.125/-. Do A Minimum of only 50 Copy-Paste in a month & Earn Rs.6250. Max. Earning is Rs.2,50,000 P.M"
Doesn't that sound attractive? Yes indeed.
More often than not they try to hoodwink you and take you for a ride. This is exactly what happened with me. I have no qualms in accepting that I was made out to be a sucker by one such company www.365jobs4u.com also known as www.dataentryjobs.us, that is why I thought I must educate the general public about this.
This is my personal experience with www.365jobs4u.com alias www.dataentryjobs.us. They have not only made a fool of me but also have taken me for a ride. I got lured by the tall claims of this company and to my utter horror I discovered what frauds they are. I have proof of the manner in which this company reaped the fruit of my labour while it left me high and dry and did not pay me a penny for my efforts.
It is a great way to fool you. When you register, they ask you to pay $55 to join. $55 works out to nearly Rs 2,500/-. So you begin the job by paying money. Which job asks you to pay money? They send you some 50 odd samples of their ads to be placed in various free classified ads websites. They call it "form filling." You are actually made to advertise for them. They ask you to complete 300 forms in a month and report back to them by creating a free website in www.freewebs.com and filling the details there and sending them the URL every week. They promise to pay you $3 per form filled, thus you are assured of $900 for 300 forms in a month. All additional ads fetch you $3 each. $900 works out to over Rs 40,000/- per month!!
They promise to pay much more than any normal job where you slog your ass off. Why should they pay so much for such a simple task? Simple. They earn much more and even if they were to pay you that amount, they would make 5-10 times that amount for your efforts. They would always be in profit, but then they want to swindle you of your rightful share and make the extra buck themselves, so they don't pay you most of the time!
How do they make the money? Simple. Take my example. I filled 417 forms, so in effect I had uploaded 417 ads of the company to various Free Classified websites. If the ads I had uploaded had attracted at least one new customer per two forms filled, they would have made 208 X $55 = $11,440. A whooping $11,000 for doing nothing!! It could be more too or a little bit less, but just imagine what they would have paid me in return? Just $900. That too they swindle me out of.
They make tall claims but their intention is to defraud. They try their best to never let you complete 300 forms! No they do not stop you from filling the forms. You do fill it and you do advertise for them to lure fresh customers, but they adopt unfair means to show that you have not completed the required number of forms. How do they do that? After you have slogged your ass off and filled the required number of forms and sent them the links to the URLS, they suddenly send you a urgent message asking you to send the ID and password to your www.freewebs.com account so that they can verify your links. You send them the link and they just delete some of the URLs! Simple isn't it? The record of all your efforts vanishes!! You dod your best and complete more than 300 forms and they just delete the links!! Imagine the audacity!!
I completed 417 forms and saved the details in my account with www.freewebs.com and regularly sent www.365jobs4u.com the links. When they realised that I have crossed 300 forms and they would have to pay me, they asked for my ID and password urgently.This is what they said in their email:-"Dear customer,plz send only username and password of the freeweb.com immedietly.regards,GIS" I, like an innocent fool sent them ID and the password, without understanding what their intention was. I was certain that I had earned my $900 and more for the additional forms filled, but it was not to be. This appears to be their modus operandi. No sooner had they got the ID and password, they deleted some of the links to the details I had sent to them and when I rang them up to find out when they would be paying me, to my horror I was told that I had only completed 240 forms!! Imagine I had slogged hours on end and completed 417 forms and they tell me that I have completed only 240 forms. I told them that I will send them the links again and to my added horror I find that many of the links are missing. Half the record of my effort had been erased by them.I had joined with a lot of apprehension and was not sure if it really is true that they will pay, so I had done a wise thing right from the start. I had duplicated all the details of the forms that I had filled and had made a second account on www.Freewebs.com and put all the links in that account too. Even if they had deleted the original, I still had the duplicate record. They thought they we smart but I had thought of it and out smarted them at their own game.
Now I am going to file an FIR against the company with the Finance Ministry, Economic Offences Wing (EOW) and I will produce all the records and proofs that I have. I have their Email asking for the ID and the password. I have the details of the forms that I had filled. I have their contract and agreement that they had sent by mail. I have taken a print out of all the records and will produce it before the EOW. I want the company investigated and the fraud exposed. I am also going to put the same number of ads against the company that I had filled for them to expose their clandestine ways.
I do not want any more innocent people to fall prey to such unscrupulous people who are siphoning away our hard earned money. Beware of joining such jobs which ask you to pay a certain amount up front. They have no intention of paying you, but every intention of using your effort to garner more sums of money from a larger number of people.
Their modus operandi is to lure you with lofty earning potentials such as"EARN Rs.100 and more per hour. EARN Rs.1500 and more per day. EARN Rs.50,000 and more per month."or"Do Online Assignments, each of 4-5 lines. Get Paid Rs.5/- to Rs.8/- Per Assignment.
