Corruption.....

I felt i should write a few words about this after coming across a situation where in i was part of it.... We talk with friends a lot about corruption... about the corrupt officers... about the corrupt government officials but we hardly think of how much we are part of the system.....

Corruption is system which only takes advantage of your weakness is what i felt..... i was stopped by a police officer.... what a bad luck i had kept all my documents in my bag and i forgot the bag in my car and i was driving my 2 wheeler... Of course my bad luck,i was stopped by a police officer on the same day..... I was in a hurry and at that moment i just didn't wanted to be stopped and troubled... i straight away told him i have all the documents however i have kept in my bag which is in my car.... he directly gave me the option of 1500Rs fine or else 200Rs bribe...

Who is the culprit.... a person paying bribe or accepting? At the moment when i payed the bribe felt like i should take a snap of the officer in my cell and put it in my blog but well felt like i should put my snap beside him as i was equally responsible in the crime..... well i will take care so that such incidents never happen again.... but will also try to fight against this as much as possible from my side.... one thing to keep in mind paying bribe is equally bad as accepting... Only way to improve is improve your moral values.... one should be ashamed to pay and accept bribe.....

I always take a U-turn and re-route when I see ahead the possibilty of being stopped by an officer. Thats the best and cheapest way to fight corruption around here........ hehehehehe :D
