India's Worthiest Citizens Today!

No Indian who does not have a mobile phone, an all-purpose (though it's still not edible!) phone, to tap-tap on while walking around on the street is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who has less cars than his neighbor is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who has less high-breed dogs than his neighbor is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who is not on Facebook is a worthy citizen of the country.
No Indian who doesn't have a new unbreakable-glass modern-day palace to live in is a worthy citizen of this country.

That makes it abundantly clear who are India's Worthiest Citizens Today! Right?

But what about all those people who have an ordinary mobile phone bought with money borrowed from a loan shark, who have no cars or breed dogs, who call a shanty-town hut their home...whose main worry is about their family's next meal?   
Oh, those! Totally unworthy...not worth wasting your time thinking about. Forget them! In fact, as far as all Worthy Indians are concerned, they don't exist!

India's Self-Geniused Executives!

A less public aspect of the craving to show-off or brag are India's self-geniused company executives. Young executives create an air of being geniuses by techniques like ill-treating or insulting subordinates and treating colleagues as nitwits. At the same they grab good ideas they hear from a colleague, run to senior officers and present the ideas as their own before the colleague gets a chance. I have already described an example of such genius cheats in Buffalo's Rumpanathan and Mr Sneeze.
It's very difficult for colleagues to have any discussions with these geniuses...who are so preoccupied with geniotic thinking that they tend to look through ordinary colleagues. These Indian-style cheats are also expert tale-carriers. Colleagues have to be careful what they say in their hearing because the geniuses will run to the senior officer and add some masala to make it seem the junior was insulting the boss. If the senior is from a developed country he does not understand what the Indian genius is up to, because such crookery does not happen in civilized countries and he assumes the genius airs put on by the junior are indeed signs of the young man's brilliance.

Another aspect of the aerial Indian executive is the founder/head of a successful company. As his company rises higher he himself rises into a more and more rarefied atmosphere, where he can be accessed only by other company heads... or the Hubble Telescope...or, maybe, the gods!

India Highway Signs - Order: In!

India Highway Signs - Order: In!

'If ever there were a people who have everything needed to succeed, it's us. If ever there were a people who need to be saved from themselves, it's us.'
From Priya Jha's campaign to arouse India in Dreams of One Country, Amazon, Books 140 pp.

Highway Sign 3 - Order: In!

Laws are essential for the smooth, orderly functioning of a country. Where laws are easily flouted and people are used to flouting them - whether it's in traffic or in their dealings - the result is a disorderly country.  

Can a disorderly country become a developed nation? The answer is obvious. So the clear Highway Sign 3 for India's future is Order: In!

India Highway Signs - Bribe-All: Out!

'If ever there were a people who have everything needed to succeed, it's us. If ever there were a people who need to be saved from themselves, it's us.'
From Priya Jha's impassioned plea to wake-up India in Dreams of One Country, Amazon: Books 140 pp.

Highway Sign 2 - Bribe-All: Out!

Systemic bribery, where anyone with any authority expects bribes to do anything, and where a public used to only that system docilely goes on bribing. And it doesn't matter where in India, attitudes are the same. That 'normal' vicious cycle of corruption must end if India has any desire to progress.  

Can any country that ignores ethics ever build a truly modern, developed nation? So the clear Highway Sign 2 for India's future is Bribe-All: Out!

Sadly, no Self-Lifting in Rio Olympics

Sadly, no Self-Lifting in Rio Olympics

Self-Lifting, sadly, has not yet been added on as an Olympic Sport. Not at Rio anyway. But whenever that happens, it will mean a guaranteed Gold, possibly even Silver and Bronze, for some of India's showing-off and bragging champions!

HighWay Signs: A Loot India Story!

HighWay Signs: A Loot India Story!

'If ever there were a people who have everything needed to succeed, it's us. If ever there were a people who need to be saved from themselves, it's us.'
From Priya Jha's impassioned plea to arouse the people: Dreams of One Country, Amazon: Books 140 pp.

HighWay Signs: 'Grab: Out!'
But here's a story of Grabbing Crores that many people will remember. In those days India was going mobile crazy. Even auto-wallahs and housemaids acquired them. Then mobile owners got messages that if they paid a 1000/- rupees they would get lifetime free incoming calls. Millions of Indians paid a thousand rupees for free incoming. I spent Rs 3000/-. Then, at the end of a year, we got messages saying all incoming would henceforth be free on all mobiles. (Quite possibly the government had earlier decided incoming on all mobiles should be free, just as in the landlines.) Were those who paid a 1000/- each compensated in any way? Did the government take any action? So many hundred crores were cheated from India's people! The objective in this Indian rope-trick was the one I described in the last post. Grab whatever one can get away with!

No country that ignores principles and 'conscience' can build a truly modern, developed nation? The clear Highway Sign for India's future is Grabbing: Out!

Specialist CWashers and DWalkers

Specialist CWashers and DWalkers

In the showing-off game of those have the means in India the morning begins with the carwashing ceremony. Their cars come out of the garages on to the road for display. Specialist carwashers arrive and give the cars a thorough wash, often better than the car owners bathe themselves. Meanwhile specialist dog walkers arrive to take the show-offers' high breed dogs for a display walk...in which they freely dirty up the neighborhood. Things that can't be done in countries like America. You can't get paid car-washers or dog-walkers. And you can't miss the warning signs. You're expected to carry a scoop and container and take your dog's byproducts home for disposal. Which only proves how free this country is! Not only breed dogs but homeless dogs and destitute humans (whom no one else cares about) can freely use any public space to relieve themselves.

Whoops! Isn't that the ultimate in freedom?
