(which any decent magician can also do); we start applauding public figures like Hazare simply on the basis of his 'clean Gandhian image' without any real inkling what the Lokpat Bill will be tantamount to. Mind you, I'm not criticising Hazare or SSB here. What gets my goat is the blind adoration that is showered on both without any real attempt to scrutinise their actions/opinions.<br /><br />STP:<br />My only grouse with what you wrote is that you're also holding someone else responsible for something that is basic commonsense! This is the way all Indians function. Even in offices, team members rarely take onus for their tasks & I think this is just a reflection of a larger malaise.drift woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01347336756998447009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467418500056883985.post-78294492303033782142011-05-09T09:31:10.586+05:302011-05-09T09:31:10.586+05:30Btw, I could not understand your alluding to Sathy...Btw, I could not understand your alluding to Sathya Sai Baba and Anna Hazare.Shoumitrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732831879909912613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467418500056883985.post-78898201646065641102011-05-06T14:44:49.933+05:302011-05-06T14:44:49.933+05:30better still would have been to take up the matter...better still would have been to take up the matter with the dumb twit who hired the painting group!. whoever is in charge of such matters at your workplace.<br /><br />the aam admi is mostly bothered about his bread, it's the acmospeheric men/women who need to get their act right:)jdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590941437375760460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467418500056883985.post-14991785069460493122011-05-06T12:14:36.542+05:302011-05-06T12:14:36.542+05:30Absolutely agree with you.

Lying and backstabbing are our second nature; safety and quality are two aspects only to pay lip service to. I am sure the workmen who painted your office worked under very dangerous conditions. Really, we have a very long way to go.Shoumitrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732831879909912613noreply@blogger.com
