Being Good is considered weak, or even foolish!!

Many times we find that by being good, law abiding and disciplined could irritate others or induce reaction as though we are silly and foolish to being brashly arrogant . Or for that matter you might even be laughed at
  • for following rules and regulations
  • Standing against corruption
  • Having civic sense.


1) live for another day
There are situations when I am invariably in a big confusion.
I will have 2 choices
  1. To listen to my Heart.
  2. To listen to my Mind.

Many times when we are in this situation, it would be something that is related to temptation.

when I was a kid, my heart tempts me to watch one more Over of cricket match atleast. My mind knows my heart, it knows that I will end up watching the whole match instead of studying.

Ok, in these kind of situations you know that mind is a better bet.

But, my dillema here is the opposite. Whenever I approach a traffic signal, these thoughts clog me down.

My heart says, I have to follow the traffic rules, I being a responsible citizen, being an educated guy, I who hates when ppl violate traffic rules and ppl with arrogant driving habits. how can I not stop down when the signal is RED, or just move on when the signal is Green!!

My Mind knows that, here all that matters is whether u can get past the signal safely, or even sometimes sneeking past the signal. It knows that no one follows rules, so u better not follow too, or else u would have hospital bed to rethink about principles of life!! My mind knows that, if i do slow down, there would be invariably a speeding cab or a autowallah who doesnt know what breaks are for, so if i do slow down he is going to RAM me. What the heck, there are no police out in that signal, who the hell cares. Even if there is a police babu, he would definetly know hyderabadis dont require any policing. We hyderabadis are self-regulating well oiled automatic traffic busters, who dont really require policing.

Even if I do follow my heart and stop at the green signal. I am sure there would be a raise noise levels as ppl honk ur ears out u would have to hear a mouthful of swears.

People also know that you are a saadhu type who stops at red at signals. There is a high chance that such people could even be considered gullible.

2) comfortable living vs loss of face

Put yourself in a govt official's shoes. Invariably you would have job of signing a few sheets of papers, put your important little stamp on the paper. Definitely your salary isnt that great. But it is just enough to put ur children in school, have a little bit of ration thats just enough for 1 mth. you are definitely under the burden of a loan, you have old parents to look after. you dont have a house of ur own, u r a good tenant and pay ur owner regularly and hope that he does not increase the rent next mth.

The only option that is left to increase your income would be to get promotion by serving your higher authorities(customer? who is that?). you are ready to do anything to get that little recommendation from ur boss for your next promotion after 5 yrs. You are also sure that your job is as safe as that post office saving that you do.Your only aim is to survive and u dream is to get that little luxury after you are done with long service.

Now, what do you do if you are in such a position from where you can accept bribe for the same job to do more quickly, or just ignore the details of the letter that you are supposed to accept and approve?
If you follow the path of easiest way, then you are swimming along the current. your subordinate accepted the bribe before u, ur boss might accept bribe after you too.

Now you must be silly and foolish to not accept bribe isnt it? if u follow the rules and regulations that is in your heart. u have to face lots of resistance, you would not get promotions, you would get transfered to some extremely remote places, or worst case is u could be framed, and surely u cud even be defamed and debarred. whats even worse is u being living on shoe lace margins. how can u concentrate on surviving?

u have to choose between comfortable living or loss of face both in society and your own family. you will take bribe!!! or else you must be silly, foolish or downright egoistic person

3)Taking the Right option only if it is ALSO an Easier option.

We always have a choice in our lives to take an easier option or a right option.More often than not they both are in opposite direction. If so, what do we do? There are many instances in our daily life where taking the right option might not be damaging for us personally, while taking the easier option might cause damage for others(others might include ourselves too, but we might be ignorant or even arrogant)

a) Imagine you have bought yourself a packet of chips and you are having fun with your friends in a park. What would you do when you finish your packet of chips, would you throw the cover on the ground, or you would put a few steps across and put in the dustbin? Ok, I've seen some of my friends who make it a point they would throw it in a dustbin only. If there is none around, they would put in his/her handbag/purse and surely put it in a dustbin.

Is it right thing to do, to put your litter in a dustbin? Plastic is non-bio-degradable, it pollutes the soil, if it is not handled properly. Forget about that, do we not keep our houses clean? do we spit on walls on of our home ? NO? Dont we have to have little civic sense? On top of that, plastic can poison the soil, all the plants that grow on such a soil are polluted. If our farmers cultivate on such a land, then whom will it affect? We have a counter thought, my one deed of good will not save the world, so I might as well dirty it! No Matter, But What will it cost you? will cost you any money or great effort? If we do find such ppl, we will silently laugh at them. We think this person is stupid.

But, We dont do such things when we are in US or singapore. We will put even the bubblegum in our pockets than pay a fine, isnt it? WE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING ONLY IF IT ALSO THE EASIER THING.


b) Many a time, we keep the tubes glowing and fans running even though we are not exactly making use of it. We would also keep the TV showing its programs to chairs and walls. We would keep the mobile chargers on even when we are not charging. Yeah, it would not really make a difference to our pockets. Again, when we find people who try to enforce such things or advice, we either hate them or ignore(or just think this person might be mad) them respectively. But surely, it does make a difference collectively. We might actually save a few MW of energy if it is only properly used within a small town. In a city as big as bangalore and hyderabad we can actually save a days power every month. We talk big about our energy policies, we blame the filthy politics each time there is an increase in charges. But when we ourselves are ignorant, and arrogant, when we are not willing to do a little bit, in our own small way. How can we expect that from the ppl who we have elected? Looks like, again the rule of "right thing becoming the easier thing" becomes true, we will not follow it...

There are loads of instances similar to these in our daily lives. It all depends on the choice we take to. Atleast we can take the right path (no matter if it is easier or not) in small little trivial things that dont cost us much, isnt it?

మంద కృష్ణ మాదిగ గారు...........
పత్రిక సంపాదకుల అరెస్టు ని లోక్ సత్తా వ్యతిరేకించింది. దాని పై ఒక టీవీ ఇంటర్వ్యూ లో మంద కృష్ణ మాదిగ క్రింది విధంగా స్పందిచారు. 1) ఆయనకి ఎవరో కమ్మ అధికారులు ఒక పది మార్కులు ఎక్కువ వేస్తే అయన IAS అధికారి అయ్యారు.2) ఒట్లేసేది మేము, మేము ఒటేయ్యకుంటే ఆయనేప్పుడు అధికారం లో కి రారు అని అన్నారు.మంద కృష్ణ మాటలకూ అర్దాలే straight లే............Dr.JP రిజర్వేషన్స్ కి ఒక creative response propose చేశారు. దానిలో బాగం గా ప్రస్తుతమున్న రిజర్వేషన్స్ తో పాటు కులం తో సంబంధం లేకుండా ప్రతి పేద విద్యార్దికి పది శాతం మార్కులని అదనంగా కలపాలి అని. మంద కృష్ణ మాదిగ గారికి దానిలో విద్యర్డులకి ఉన్న సౌకర్యమ్ బహుశా సరిగా అర్ధం కాలేదేమో. అయన మాదిగల కోసం ప్రభుత్వం నుంచి ఎఅదో సాదించాలని, తద్వారా ఒక బలమైన దళిత నేతగా ఎదగాలని అనుకుని ఉంటారు. లేదా గొప్పగా కనిపించే ఒక populist స్కీమ్ ప్రభుత్వం ప్రకటిస్తే నే మాదిగలకీ మేలు జరుగుతుందని అయన భావిస్తుండవచ్చు. కాబట్టి ఆయనకు పది మార్కులు కలిపే అంశం నచ్చి వుండక పోవచ్చు. దాని మీద ఉన్న అసంతృప్తిని ఆయన మొదటి విమర్శలో గమనించ వచ్చు. JP ని కమ్మ కులం వారిగా చూస్తున్నాం అని చెప్పకనే చెప్పారు. రెండో విమర్శ తీసుకున్నట్టయితే మాతోని మంచిగా లేకుంటే మేము వోట్లేయ్యము అని బెదిరిస్తున్నారు అని స్పష్టంగా అర్ధమవుతుంది. నేను చెప్తున్నాను లోక్ సత్తా ఎట్టి పరిస్థితుల్లోను వోటు బ్యాంకు రాజకీయాలకు పాల్పడదు

చిరంజీవి గెలవాలంటే
ఎన్నికల్లో గెలవడానికి ప్రజల అందరి మద్దతు అవసరం. ప్రజలకి దగ్గరయ్యే మార్గాలని అన్వేషించాలి. హింస ప్రవృత్తి ద్వార ప్రజలకు దూరమవుతాం. అభిమానులకి వున్నంత ఇష్టం సమాజం లో అందరికి వుంటుంది అని అనుకోగలమా? మీ friends అందరు చిరంజీవి కే వోటు వేస్తారా. అభిమానులు పాల్పడే హింస కార్యక్రమాలు చూసి తేతస్థం గా ఉండేవాళ్ళు దూరమవుతారు. వ్యక్తి గతం గా విమర్శించారు అని తిరగబడితే చాలమంది వోట్లు రావు. వోట్లు రావాలంటే, చాల వర్గాల ప్రజల మద్దతు కావాలంటే ప్రజల ప్రజలకోసం పోరాడతాం అని నిరూపించుకోవాలి. వ్యక్తి మీద అబిమానం తో పోరాడతాం అనే కంటే, మంచి రాజకీయం కోసం పోరాడతాం అనే సంకేతాలు ప్రజల్లోకి పంపాలి. మారెప్పని తిడితే లాబం లేకపోగా నష్టపోతారు. మారెప్ప అవినీతి బాగోతం మీడియా ముందు పెట్టడం ఒక చిన్న పని లా take up చెయ్యాలి. మనకున్న టైం ని resources ని మారెప్పని బూతులు తిట్టడానికి వాడితే ఎలా. ప్రజా సమస్యల గురించి మాట్లాడాలి. ప్రజల సమస్యలకి రాజకీయ పరిష్కరాలు కనుగొన గలగాలి. రాజకీయాలు ఉన్నదే ప్రజల కోసం, రాజకీయాల్లో గెలవాలి అంటే ప్రజలకోసం పాటుపడాలి. వ్యక్తి పూజలకి స్వస్తి చెప్పాలి. రాష్ట్ర రాజకీయం మరలి అంటే అభిమానుల దృక్పదం మారాలి. ప్రపంచం లో ఎ దేశం లో కుడా విమర్శలు లేని రాజకీయ వుండదు. విమర్శని హుందాగా ఎదుర్కోవాలి. పార్టీ మెసేజ్ ని ప్రజల్లో కి బలం గా తీసుకెళ్ళ గలగాలి. సామజిక సమస్యల మీద పోరాటం చెయ్యాలి. వ్యక్తుల మీద కాదు. ప్రజాస్వామ్యం లో హింసకు తావు వుండకూడదు. Inthakante pedda vatini ahimsatho edurkunna charitra mana desanidi. Swathantra poratanni ahimsa dwara sadinchukunna oke okka desam manandari Barataha desam.

నివారించదగిన క్లేశం
నివారించదగిన క్లేశం = Avoidable suffering. Dr. JP have used the above word in many interviews and speeches. Do you know what does it mean?
వృద్దాప్యం, జటిలమైన రోగాలు, ప్రకృతి ఉత్పాతలు నివరించలేనివి. సమాజం లో చాల బాధలు నివారించ దగినవే. అలంటి బాధలు నివరించుకొలేకుంటే మనం ఆరోగ్యకరమైన సమజలో లేనట్టే. ప్రజల సమస్యలకి రాజకీయ పరిష్కారాలు కనుగునడానికే లోక్ సత్తా ఆవిర్బవించింది.

Difference between chattam and nyayam
Assembly and parliament chattalani roopondisthayi. Anduke veetini chatta sabalu antaru. Aaa chattalu, constitution ki anugunam gaa rupondichabadathayi. Chattanni kapade badyatha police ladi. Eadayina neram meeda policelu complaint theesukovali. Pradamika daryaptu chesi FIR file cheyyali. Chattam lo eaa section kindaki neram vastundo namodu cheyyali. Nerastulani pattukovali. Court lo hajaru parachali. Neranni investigate chesi charge sheet dakalu cheyyali court lo. Court lo neranni nirupinche badyatha police lade. Saakshalu sampadinche badyatha police lade.Daanni base chesukuni case nadusthundi. Nyayasthanala teerpula venuka police la pani chalane vuntundi. Anthati patra vunna police lu lanchagodulu avuthe manchi ki siksha paduthundi. Chedu poshinchabaduthundi.Police promotions and transfers rajakiya nayakula chethullo vuntayi. So police are under controll of politicians. As politicians are bad police are doing bad. Chattam thana pani thanu chesuku pothundi ani media mike la mundu cheppe nayakalu chattani thana pani thanu chesukonikunda addu paduthunnaru. Anduke police station ki velthe nyayam jaruguthundi ane nammakam manaki poyindi ee roju.Ilanti paristhithulu povalante rajakiya prakshalana okkate margam.

Please come forward to support LSP
LSP has appeared for it first test and had satsfactory results but not expected results.Post martam has happened on why we dint get the expected number of votes.So many people here in orkut have mentioned to strenthening gross root levels.A decision was taken on similar lines. As we are nearing GHMC elections we are forming the booth level committies with 6 people per polling booth. These people will be given voter list of that perticular polling booth. These people can goto those houses and make voters know about LSP and give them their voter slips and party literature. If some one doesnt have vote thease people can help provding information. Also we encourage this committe to solve the major problems of that ward.Also on polling day these ppl can help LSP as an election agent and procuring voter help desk and requesting ppl who didnt not vote, to vote.Had we done this so efficiently for the last election we would certainly have got double the number of votes.Any one of you can come forward and help LSP and ther by help society.If the 6 people team is new we are not asking them to solve the problems. Just they may need to goto those houses and tell them about LSP and hand them over the voter slip.

So we need to do something guys to pull out middle class to vote. Please comeup with thoughts.

Is it crowed pullers or Youth???
@ Confident Youth,Now the society is facing the serious problem of inept leadership and crooked leadership. Politics became a big business for who want to fleece the public. As a good citizens of mother India we should not sit clam. Scilence of sanner is more dangeorous. Though we all know politcs were rotten but we dint had better alternative or platform to change the society. Better politics lead to better society.Now we have a great platoform to play for change of society. LokSatta can change society with the coailation of strong seekers of change.JP garu with his inmense knowledge and work emarged as second mahatma of the nation. Our freedom moment was remarkable in the history of world. with his work Gandi garu became Mahatma. he led the freedom moment to success. Freedom moment was success not because of Gandi or any group of few individuals. It was success with broad coailation of all Indians especially youth and middle class. For better society LokSatta requires support and participation of youth and strong seekers of change. Its not mere spreading of money or any other crooked means. I have confidence and courage I feel, but I am an ordinary guy like you or may be not as cleaver as you. Common guys we can do it. Lets believe in ourselves.Dont get into wrong assumption that youth will fall behind Chiranjivi. Todays Indian youth is more clever than ever and than else where. Dont imagine you alone is intelligent and like good things. A scilent majority are intelligent. For a better society we need to bring the majority of intelligent people on to the same lines. This is something we need to strive for. But not the person(s) who can pump money and win and can earn money.Chak de!!!

Help us to serve the society better.
Dear Change Seekers,I would like to take this oppurtunity to inform you about the kind of resources required for building a new political culture. Many of you might know about Lok Satta Party and its agenda. LokSatta is trying to build a new political culture for new genaration. New political culture is required because, we cannot build a first world economy with third grade leadership.With third grade leadership we face problem like1)Corruption and bad governance which rob people of equal opportunities.2)Quality education and affordable healthcare remain dreams for most citizens for ever. 3)Justice takes decades and is inaccessible to ordinary citizens.4)Roads are crumbling, power outages are frequent, and clean drinking water is scarce. 5) poor are getting poorer and poorest.Politics became big business for those who want to fleece the public.Traditional political parties view people as mere voting machines in flesh and blood, instead of as living and breathing human beings. Such exploitative and utterly corrupt politics must give way to a new political culture – one in which the citizen is supreme. Politics must once again be a noble endeavour.To build up such an a political culture we need resources like Human resources, intelectual inputs, financial resources etc..I would like to stress on need of financial resources LSP(LokSatta Party) has.Lok Satta Party will need only a fraction of what traditional parties spend for their campaigns and elections, we still have to raise significant resources to mount a credible challenge and convert public good will into vote. Making financial contributions and raising resources is critical to transform the present political culture.Please donate to LSP by following below link
