Till death do us part……
Life's biggest challenge is deciding what's important - then disregarding the rest.
Life in Dentistry is not all despair; there is a hilarious side to it too! I got to witness it during this week end.To break the tedium of people’s daily struggle to survive, in the mayhem that prevails in the absence of anything resembling governance, there are entertaining, almost comical, distractions provided by the architects of professional despair – the aspiring honchos of certain specialties or may I refer to them as “Chief”. ..or even better “Big Chief”
Corruption is so well prevalent in this world that it has become a tool for people to be ahead of others using short cut methods. The science of Psychology states that every person wants to be ahead of the other by using any means. To get anything done in this world without sweat u need to pay a bribe or else wait in the queue which never ends.
Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots…said Karl Kraus…People find it more convenient to bribe and lament later than to fight it out then and there!
The Reality is that a person in position becomes wealthy. He becomes powerful and no body questions how he has earned that wealth. He is capable of destroying any one coming on his way…and I for one have been a victim to this “removing anyone coming his way” remedy!
What strikes one, is how the people have become immune to corruption. Are their skins so thick? Are their consciences so dulled and dead? Fraternity in fact becomes the best advocates for the corrupt! Why for heavens sake can’t the members choose a capable leader?..and not just a temporarily preferred choice?
What comes first-the calibre,speciality/science or the merely a position offered by a scientific society? Just a measly dinner (of course with unlimited intoxicants and financial aid demanded from investors) or even an authoritative phone call from a past “guru” would influence us to exercise a CHOICE which could be based on competence rather than obligation? The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voters said Winston Churchill…how true!
The biggest blow to the scientific credibility (if it has any left) is the appointment of a moron of the lowest order, who is already an active member of a blemished body as Chef de Mission! This surely goes to prove that nothing limits achievement like small thinking!
Gosh!… Till death do us part…
Maybe some colleagues may opine it is again democratic decency to accept the verdict of a registered society.. .As though there were none with an unblemished record!..This goes to prove that as far as balloting is concerned it follows no moral values and probity in it’s choices but has only its own vested interest! To safeguard its own omissions it has handpicked some people and placed them in constitutionally deemed highest posts.
It is ridiculous for members to not empower themselves with the knowledge required to exercise their ballots in a fair and just manner. Maybe some of our predecessors had also resorted to nepotism but, what I saw is nothing which feels short of a mind bogging SCAM!
Two wrongs will not make a right! How can one compare a robber and a terrorist? I surely see that there is an indication of righting the wrong. One the one hand you have a dynamic visibly competent potential leader and the other hand a dullard who has absolutely no track record whatsoever!...have educated and experienced people turned so myopic?
One of our biggest drawbacks is that we do not take responsibility for anything. If the nation is corrupt government is to blame. If the society is corrupt surely not my problem. This denial precludes any improvement in our society. Are we actually expecting someone to come from outside or even an incarnation to get the society rid of these vices?
We have to act in our own small ways if things are to improve, otherwise time is not far that we will be the most corrupt in the world. second issue is our own conceptualization and perception of corruption, that is why many feel stealing from the government is OK, Or I just picked up a little(lesser in degree) , or everyone does this so it is expectable. This tendency to justify personal shortcomings and blatant thefts leads to this culture of corruption. It cannot be relative, cannot be in terms of degree of corruption, as small events breed tendency for more corruption.
I pity all the members who have helped dent and denigrate the highest constitutional post! How literal could “dentists” get!
Now to tackle corruption - where do we start and how?
Only solution would be becoming a “Rambo” or the "Indian" or "Wednesday" movie way. That would be 100% remedy .I don’t see any other solution. If anyone can give an alternate solution, I would love to hear it as I have been thinking about this for years together!
The duds in power must realize that this profession is not one of nincompoops and zombies. We are professionals capable with tremendous common sense and are highly intelligent scientifically and socially. They cannot try and play the ‘God Father’ story or “The D company” story in India. In my opinion they cannot take us for a ride all the time. There is a limit to tolerance.
When it was the entire King’s men story with the regulatory cartel I knew we had thrown all Ethics to the winds of so called democracy. Having gained majority by mere numbers by tokenism and offering silly favors and promises surely do not mean the Chair has the vote of the people. This is going to be the moron’s biggest liability when a healthy society soon realizes that those who did not understand an iota of democracy, handpicked the Chief!...merely by numbers!!!...just for a few favors more!
This currently elected Chief is so capable that he would never be heard until he farts!...of course quite a coat hanger too!....atypical case of Big shit No Chief!
Till death do us part!!!...some morons are married to TITLES!
Leadership in my opinion is not a one-day thing. It is a constant commitment
to excellence, a habit . . . a daily practice……

ReplyDeletethere is nothing to add!!!u have said it all.Power is so addictive,more than any intoxicant.With power comes money,someone once told me if u have tasted power and money,u will never ever relinquish both!!Anything,repeat,anything,goes after that.Bribes,threats,anything.Always wondered why people refused to think,analyze before elections of any sort,still thinking,will probably think till my death.
ReplyDeleteI share your concern. They are not elected by majority of people either, you see, some 50 - 60% voter turnout out of which 25-30% is majority which means with only 25% voters confidence they are running the Govt.! The system is rotten, it can produce only rotten things. It can be bettered by changing our constitution and legal system to usher good governance to the good of all people(not just 20%) of people), a group of leaders with guts can do that. More and more expose' of the evil, awareness of it among the vast majority of the masses can throw up a band of good leaders? Let us hope!!
ReplyDeleteGr888 thoughts!!!We need to expose the mind of a criminal entrepreneur trying to survive in a corrupt environment. The union amongst all of us should try to give a literary voice to a man from our gigantic underclass.But i guess the difficulty lies in Where and How to start??
ReplyDeleteBasic ways to get rid of corruption:
ReplyDeletePower corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. First and foremost, intelligible selection of people becomes mandatory. We need to fix some basic and mandatory qualities required for being a leader. These basic qualities should have criterions such as Education (Masters degree), family background – corruption/criminal background verification and financial background.
As I said, absolute power corrupts absolutely, we need to ensure that the elected person serves the post only 2 times in is lifetime.
Cancelling all the parties who are under banner of caste, creed.
Live telecasting program for all the approvals to any vendor
Time period for completing project should be maintained. The financial onus should lie upon the leader. The failure to complete in project in time should make the leader responsible and answerable.
Cancelling the schools, which does not have basic facilities. Promoting all the government schools with modern education. I have personally seen schools operating in residential premises. I am not taking about the baby sitters; I am talking about schools which are operating in a full-fledged manner till 10th STD. I wonder how have parents are so lethargic to even find a proper school for their beloved kids.
Ban college elections, since this provides as the stepping stone towards corruption and rowdism
Bringing all the so called NGO’s under scanning authority, not allowing any of them to beg (fund raising from European, Western & American countries) to promote Indian society. NGO’s have to take care of basic maintenance of city like organizing traffic, cleaning and maintaining the street lights, gardening.
Ban towards religious conversion as most of the conversion to done to achieve personal goals rather than spiritual. It aims at getting benefit in the name of minority.
No special privileges in the name of minority in education system, be it admission in schools/colleges or authority in the same. Education aims at triggering the intellectual levels, hence admission in the name of minority is baseless.
No more constructions of road side places of worship (any religion).
Scrutinising the so called Parties assets by common man
These are just a few, but the list can go on. For all this to accomplish, it becomes important that likeminded people gather together and make an effort towards working on this.
Power and money corrupts...The problem now is that the whole system is corrupt. We have to do our bit to cleanse the system. I agree to Ushy's suggestions.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest cause of Corruption in my opinion is Hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteWe all see the faults in system but we do not have the moral courage to correct them. When I was in an impressionable age unfortunately I saw a movie and read a book. The movie was Satyakaam and the book was Fountainhead. In the movie as well as the book main protagonist undergo a lot of hardship to prove that they will not succumb to the pressure of the society.
How many of us are ready to stand up for those hardships or even ready to support the people who are standing up for these hardships. If anyone say what they think is correct but is against the "system" then they are prosecuted, their careers are blocked, all their aspirations are crushed. Associations and Governing bodies are run as a personal fiefdom where people are rewarded for being yes-man.
All over the world the societies that have changed for better or worse have changed from inside. If we believe that the society will change from outside because someone will come and change it, it will not happen. Writing on blogs and discussing in drawing rooms and around tables will not change anything. We have to sacrifice a lot. If we personally are not ready to make those sacrifices let us support those who are making them for us. Let not make their sacrifice go in vain.
What's up our tolerances or our attitude or our wink or
ReplyDeleteour shrinking resposiblity?!
The playing feild is increasing the ammount of energy time levels and the degree of corrouption is increasing.

CAN IT AS GOOD AS AN VIRGIN ALL DECKED UP IN BRUDAL FRANERY TO HAVE HER FIRST BLISS.
NO DAMM IT THEM TO MORE INTENSE WAYS OF HELL THESE CHIEFS WILL BE WORST THAN AN LADY WHO SELLS HER BODY TO SERVE AN MORSEL OF FOOD TO HER CHILD.
