Rummy's back with a bang!

 Hey guys, Sorry for the long hiatus..!  I promise to be more regular in my blogging henceforth.
Well I have been busy with mundane activities at work coupled with a whole bunch of additional responsibilities which I am actually enjoying...!
Promise to post my travelogue on Sikkim soon one of these days..!
In the meanwhile wanted to pen down a few thoughts that I have been strongly feeling about..!

The other day, I was walking near my office, when I saw a guy a little ahead of me , who looked like a lawyer ( bcos he was dressed like one!) spit pan on the road and get into a nearby parked car which happened to be a Volkswagen Polo.
Luckily for me ( Unluckily for him) the car was still parked at that place and as I walked past the car , I gave him a piece of my mind. Told him" He looked like an educated person and was sitting inside a fancy car, and how ridiculous it was of him to spit on the road in such a manner"
I just said this and walked away and did not even wait for him to react.

I strongly believe that when educated people like this litter on the road and spit , how can we expect the uneducated lot of our country to have civic sense and hold them responsible for our country being so dirty.
I think it is totally unfair.

Yesterday on TV, our honourable home minister Mr. P.Chidamabram made a statement : The rise of crime and rapes in Delhi was due to migrants.
What an ignorant and careless statement.
Mr.Home Minister, Bombay , the city where I was born and brought up, has an equal no. of, if not more migrants from other parts of the country.
Yet the crime rate and cases of rape in Bombay are far less than in Delhi and women in general feel more safe venturing out  alone in the night!

All this again boils down to the same basic inherent problem so widely prevalent in our country...

Whenever an incident occurs, we jump to passing the blame onto somebody and do not introspect! We seem to be more occupied in playing the blame game , passing the buck, rather than solving the problem itself!

Passing the buck, not solving the problem... very true. Well written.
