EZLINK Singapore: [EZLINK] Re: India a Super Power

That it the real problem with India.. Here everybody is waiting for a
revolutionist .. They will not do their bit.... We hope that some
person from sky will come and revive our home. This is ridiculous..

Tell me one thing if there is fire at home. do you wait for other to
come and extinguish it.. no.. you will do it yourself.. so if you
treat the country as your home, do the same.. At lease we can do
following thing to help country cause.

1> Resolve not to give bribe where possible.. ( we try to take
shortcuts by giving bribe... hence encourage corruption )
2> Will not litter around in public ( The same person who spits here
and there in India, when he come to Singapore, never dares to litter
around. )
3> Pay your taxes . Most of the time we ask vendors in India that what
is the price without bill.. when there is no bill, the excise/sales
tax is not paid and that incur loss to government ).
4> Make sure you vote, if you are there at the time of polling.. (
many indians try to avoid voting as they do not want to stand in queue
for 10-20 miniutes.. If you can not stand 10-20 mins in a queue for
your country then you have no right to criticise politicians for what
they are doing. )
5> Report if you see suspicious article.( many bomb blasts could have
been avoided if citizens are more vigilent while in public place )

..and many other things..

I will finish with below lines from " Rang de basntee " movie..

" Koi bhee desh perfect nahin hota.. Usko perfect banana padta hai "
i.e. No country is born perfect, we have to work to make it perfect.

I hope and pray that all indians will stop waiting for an engel to
clear their own mess and do something about it.

Jai Hind.
