Resolution 2008

" He woke up to an irritating sound of dogs barking. He was very angry that municipal had not done enuf against stray dogs. The dog's barking irritated him so much that he lost his sleep entirely. He had a long day ahead of him, and this made his matters worse. It was 8:00 by the time newspaper was delivered. He lost his cool and blasted the paper boy.After he closed the door he was muttering to himself about 'how people in this country have no sense of time".. It was 9:00 by the time he finally got ready to head for his office in the so called "IT corridor".
It was 9:30 he was stuck in a jam .He could see a sea of cars,cabs,buses,two wheelers,autos,cabs everywhere. He was looking at the watch every two minutes hoping it would stop. He had a meeting at 10:30 ,having been late so many times before, could not afford to be late once more. He tried breaking through each jam speeding his bike as fast as possible,going on footpath, overtaking from left,right,center,he even jumped a traffic signal but all he could do was end up in the next jump. He honked his horn, muttered a word or two of unspeakable to a "uncle" who was driving on the left very slowly ( Right and center had two Volvo buses)..He finally managed to overtake that "loser" and he could finally see his company building on the horizon. Just as he was entering the home stretch he was stopped by traffic police, he had broken the one way rule. He was very angry and told the police this rule was unjustifiable.He also pointed that there were so many people ahead of him who were not caught.His words fell into deaf ears he was asked to cough up 500 rupees.He then decided that bullying technique wont work , so he asked to cop to adjust .He was told to pay 200 without bill. Seeing no other option he paid it.
He ended up late to the office, almost missing the meeting and got blasted.He told his sorry story to every soul he met. He was angry about the inefficient municipality who had done nothing to stray dog problem, to the late coming newspaper boy,horrible traffic,corrupt traffic cop. He menaced no words when he told his friends that "India sucks man!"..He was also of the opinion that democracy was the problem , he wanted a dictator to rule the country. He would always point out how china had done remarkable progress with communism. "
How many of us behave like this? .A lot( maybe not in entirety) .We need to change they way we view government. It is new year, a great time to make a new year resolution. I hope a few at least resolve to not blame the supposedly 'all evil government' , if not to bring a change ourselves.

PS: abt the china comment i have heard that many a times intend to write a entire post on it.
