Anna Hazare and Me

While Anna Hazare is on fast, I am worried about my dinner for today and tomorrow. What else to do? I have been simply hiding myself from the cruel realities of our great Country for all this while. And hence I am more worried that I won’t be able to eat Chinese Chicken tomorrow for some religious reason.

I started writing this one, probably because I felt jealous about one of my friend’s comment on FB which said “Before supporting Anna Hazare make sure that you have not bribed anyone or produced fake bills”. The very First reason for jealousy was that I missed the point he made and was late to update my FB status to receive all “Like” he received and second he is thinking better than me. You see….

Flashback, Flashback (2 months Back)…
I am a very innocent person, and I hate corruption. But just now, I paid Rs. 50 bribe to get my marriage certificate from Government Marriage Registration office in Goa. Hold a second; I have my own reasons for it. I am on short trip at my native place to get it done and can’t extend my leave, my boss won’t like it.

Flashback, Flashback ….
I am asking for some extra medical bills from doctor and pharmacist, yeah! So what, last time I forgot to get actual bills, it compensates.

And then there are many such reasons for various other incidents as well. So I do pay bribe sometimes but you know I am helpless. And also I am too small a fish to be noticed by anyone.

Out of Flashback…
I am just wondering now, whether I should “Like” his comment or just do Ctrl+V and update my status. All I am interested is how many “Like” I will get. I am very smart on FB so much so that I have managed to keep the real problems out of my “Personal Book”.
In fact, I forgot Kasab who was on killing mission in Mumbai for 3 days in 2008 and still enjoying his Jail. I forgot about the news saying Kasab knows that he is safe because there are about 25 odd killers ahead of him awaiting decision from Honourable President of India….. Wait a moment, I remembered Kasab and felt like killing him during India Vs Pakistan penultimate match in World Cup 2011. So what if I forgot him next day, of course I had a reason, I had to worry on the strategy that Indian team should use to play against Sri Lanka in Final.

Flashback Flashback …
I am feeling very sorry for the family of Government officer who was burnt alive while he was on move to open up the racket of Petrol Mafia. I feeling very terrible and uneasy, discussing with my friend who has same feelings like me and also relishing Vada Paav (Indian Burger).


Out of Flashback …
So all in all, I have no social feelings, and I do not think I should be the first one to change and realise my responsibilities towards my nation. Anyone can manipulate me as I am coward and do not venture out of my comfort zone. At the most I can show resentment in the comfortable surrounding. But at the end, I can blame it on politician for not performing their duties towards my nation, whom I elect every 5(?) years

So to conclude I am hungry now and Daal Rice is ready. Anyone interested? And of course those who are interested to know more about Anna Hazare, please visit
