    • Corruption Genes – Part 2

      Posted at 8:00 am by Rashid Siddiqui, on July 15, 2013

      What is the most efficient key to be corruption free?

      They key is “improvement” and consistency in “being good”. These are the output of an action with a noble intention. The whole exercise of religion and moral lessons is to ensure that we are not contaminated with “laziness” in bringing results. This is a courageous act.

      India was defined once with a “value system”. This is not the best natural resources which India had, however there was a strong “value system” since the Vedic Ages. The institution of Guru and Shishya and the knowledge seeking methodologies culminated a healthy system where sustenance of noble qualities was possible. With the advancements and in course of history, India encountered numerous influences from Arab to England. Those who loved India, made India beautiful and the prosperity we achieved in past was with a proper balance in social order. Religion was for knowledge seeking, Politics was for justice and control over evils, education was to make people skilled and useful for society. All of this came with people. People with right intention. Those who loved to be happy and wanted to see others happy as well.

      Corruption is not a sudden phenomena. This is a gradual degradation. Corruption starts with the lack of “control points”. In today’s context, people in India are not really concerned about the corruption, they are however reacting in some situations where they feel uncomfortable. Most of the people think that a particular party is responsible for corruption or a particular person is corrupt. If we see really with wisdom, we will realize that a Political Party is just a mute stage which showcase the events. People are just the actors who play the role. The real root is the lack of “moral guidelines” which can make a “value system” possible. In this vulnerable situation the definition of “right” and “wrong” is changed at every level. So people when grow and seek position, they make wrong things right and right things wrong. With a smart excuse that “this is how it works”.

      A big class of people, the so called “educated english speaking society”, is under a heavy influence of West. The mesmerizing stars, Hollywood, Music, Movies, FM and the obscene obsession in the name of art and culture make people very light in moral values (To a certain extent all of these are part of life but if people follow their desires and make the “self centric happiness” as a benchmark for world peace, this will never work). The real question is how can we safeguard our values which are unique and necessary for the socio-geo structure of India.

      In the back of every apparent problem, there is a global greed driven system. Arabs are happy selling their oil to West in exchange with Coke and Mercedes. Almost every country in the world work for US interest. Hollywood portrays West (US) to be the only saviour to humanity. Indians are happy in “feeling bad” for themselves. They practice good english just to deodorize the “desi smells” of corruption. TV channels are for TRP. Truth is silent and falsehood is dicussed. Truth is always perished. So Jesus (pbuh) was struggling, and so Muhammad (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) took all the means however was also failed in keeping people intact with faith in spite of open miracles. Truth is always a subject of criticism and a discomfort choice. We want to be happy on our terms and thats the staring of corruption.

    • Corruption Genes – Part 1

      Posted at 12:37 am by Rashid Siddiqui, on July 7, 2013

      I had a chance to look a photo, dated long time back. The picture shows a Police officer sitting on ground with the British and Indian Maharajas nearby standing. Whatever the context be, this reflects something odd. Well, i will not explain it and will leave viewers to comment.

      4e08fb08da05d164831a9de8bcb77897
       

      Well this could be a good will gesture, however it reflects lot more. Did we really got independence? Did we ever put the importance of processes over people?

      This is not rare. If we go to any government office relations matters, otherwise people are treated as slaves. This is a closed infinite loop, wherein people themselves want system to be like this, so that they can get more benefit than others. This mindset has not changed since long. This is still dominant in all organisations where Indians are with their mediocre presence.

      Characteristics: They will not listen to you. Since they are the Babus they have the authority to be silent. You stand in queues, make request like “Respected Sir, Most Humbly And Respect Fully etc.” They feel proud of the fact that they have control of your fate till the time your work is not done. They feel proud that they can make you nuts, and harm you. The vary morning, they worshipped their stone idols and they exist in system with stone hearts. This is corruption at grass root level.

      Characteristics: They discuss. They enjoy. Over the tea brakes, about party and politics. They take paan and split the red shit anywhere they find. Specially the corners. The vary morning these guys offered Namaz or Went to some Mandir, had their shoes outside, pretend to be clean, but what happened now. I see. This is workplace. Not Mandir or Masjid. I have every right to abuse it. Lets split the bloody red shit again, or some tobacco. They are not clean. The dirt in mind is nicely covered with the clothes they wear, the oppression they execute in their own family. And outside, they are respected. With the fear they execute they earn and make their hell satisfied. This is corruption of character.

      Characteristic: They are highly ignorant. Ignorant of the fact about money, business and the commerce of exchanges around. To them is to save the salary. Maximise the illegal money. Keep the money in bank safe and be happy with interest. Neither they want to understand the Global Banking Crisis nor they are interested. Bloody obscure. And this is good to discuss the corruption topics. NDTV shows, and TIMESNOW heated arguments. The mother of all evils is the “Institution of banks” and “Market Monopoly” but they take this as a fairy tale.

      People need to understand that the corruption eradication is a bidirectional simultaneous process. This require both bottoms up and top down cleanup. If people are not hardened and they are not equipped with strong value system the dropped ball of goodness will not hold the surface, it will bounce and the system will remain same. However if we see the system today, this has become vulnerable due to many factors.

      Well, youngsters are classified in some weird ways. Bollywood, stars gossips, cricket and politics. Some are concerned for the next job change. iTunes and next electronic gadgets. Copying the hollywood vocabulary. Mesmerised with the Western lifestyle. Quick and judgemental. Values? “What the Fuck?”, i carry my own attitude, and this is my value system. This new, gray and going to be new slot is going to take charge of future and i can visualise the stability of society.

      Good people by virtue of being good pretend to be silent, mostly introvert. However to bring a solid fabric to fight with corruption they need to unshit the deep shits. Silence and being saint will not work. Good people need to carry the duracell charged activities, and execute themselves in society. Unless they will execute and demonstrate the good to people, the natural gravity of darkness will swallow all.

      Value System? How this can be glamorised? How this can be inforced?

      To be continued …

    • Most of the things were nonsense long back,

      Posted at 11:06 pm by Rashid Siddiqui, on July 4, 2013

      Most of the things were nonsense long back, then when you really start taking interest clarity starts. Especially those quotes and angry sentences from old uncles around,

      For me the debate of Android vs iOS makes no sense. There are people around who discuss. Some of them make money out of discussion, some enjoy as they have nothing else in their life to enjoy. Internet has given a chance for everyone to participate and the effective method of learning and doing things have taken a new shape. People are impatient and they want next big thing with next mouse click. The heat of so fast curiosity has evaporated the solid substrate of patience. There is more to loose than to gain. The perception of intelligence driven by googling information has brought the personality disorders. The pseudo-confidence, with which people reflect. It’s there on google, how come you deny.

      What is creativity and what is corruption? Am i doing the right comparison?

      In some of the discussions and with all other Indian mates, when i discuss things its very frustrating. We Indians are obsessed with the idea of political correctness. In core we all are idol worshippers. People love to worship people and some people love to be worshipped. Kind of GodFather culture. I am your boss and … me Ok being a slave never deteriorate anything if my stability is not questioned. This is my job and i will not move an inch whatsoever be, this is my state and i am correct. Bloody hell, you are correct.

      The gravity created by ignorance driven confidence is where they rest in peace. They all criticise external factor. Discussion like “Why are you increasing your work?”, “Does this action translates to your benefit?” Don’t answer, be in silent mode, let them come.

      Well to answer darkness you can become even more darker so that the surrounding darkness looks bright. If you lit a light, you are a fool, and you are an intruder. That’s what they think. Most of the people when move up the ladder instruct people to do something where they have failed terribly. And when it comes to speaking on results, either they will cover their incompetence with dumb management lines, or will expose themselves and will plead for mercy. It all depends on the protocol, which side you are.

      Will you stop doing good if your goodness is criticised? Well, this is their job, you better do yours. One of the key thing people tend to forget, or i feel they resist is to see the necessity of good things happening. They are weak. The weakness comes from realising the fact that this world is too smart. Smart people can eat up their space. So the next big thing strike them is jealousy. They are burned inside. With the inefficiency they exist. They challenge every new concept.

      It is too vulnerable to do good. And i got the reason for stupid comparisons as well. I want to satisfy my thought process. Well, it is endless and even Modi will be thought a moderate when a new hardliner will come. India, Indians and related issues. This is all a complicated corruption. We all love this corruption and sometimes we resist.

    • Bomb, blasts and Bingo!!!

      Posted at 9:49 pm by Rashid Siddiqui, on February 24, 2013

      Now again,

      Year 2008: I was in Srilanka then. I came to hotel, ordered chicken biryani and hit straight to have shower. It relaxes me. Cinnamon Hotel is very luxurious, and i was enjoying a 5 star life. This was not new watching live coverage of something messed up in India. However it lasted whole night and i was watching Taj attack as this was not ending.

      Next day was not pleasant. I had headache and sleep deprived eyes were losing its concentration. I was on my own mission and had daunting tasks of new services activation for Airtel Srilanka  I was in DC implementation. While i was making VPN profiles, and architecture for VPN tunnels, i was going through the troubles going back home. How and Why? and when should this stop?

      Now and then, this is no difference as the people around are still tangled. They can not think beyond their affiliation to a political party, ethnicity, religion etc. They support the parallel governing structure like RSS, Shiv Sena etc. They hide but they reflect. And their intent is reflected in all the way they behave and speak. There is no difference when it comes to extremism. When a headless Pakistani advocates Jihad for green banner, our intellectual brothers hail for saffron patriotism. There is no moon-star vs the burning Sun in Saffron cloth. This is all madness. The shit inside mind smells and is horrible.

      I need to justify. To justify that i am not a terrorist.

      So how come you do not support BJP? And don’t you see the corruption under UPA’s carpet?

      For me both are same. Both of them live on the mercy of vulnerability. The vulnerability which exist in society. They take advantage. They bring instability. They create fear and then they gain. They say “This is from the border”. Where is the border? Where is the border of greed and where it ends?

      Do you think India is progressing? No.

      These are the last bulges of flames which will make your coming generation perish. Orthodoxy, slavery and consumerism has bonded a strong relationship. You worship either stones or people. And God, ahhh. They look good in comics, Hollywood or in our selfish religious rituals. Religion has become either a weapon to vent your anger out or a window to throw your garbage in. And you live happy. Long live India,

      That happened on this Friday as well, when they said that this particular party can bring a real change. These people can not work religiously. They are Indians and they are ****. They can’t justify their presence to the system and they are talking change. I do not reflect, since i know, idiots can talk and they are good in it. Let us see, when the polarization changes. There will be more blasts to make system more vulnerable. Innocents will be killed, leaders will come and visit. People will host parties and some of them will be busy in Page3, cricket or new release. This is India. Life mein masale ki kami. Bingo!!!, let’s have it.

    • Lokpal, Corruption, India and We …

      Posted at 10:12 pm by Rashid Siddiqui, on April 2, 2012

      Monday, August 15, 2011

      Ohh again, so where it is now? Not Jantar Manar, something is going on. I am out of touch to these news channels, so this was news to me. Fight against corruption is again in news. We witnessed Mumbai Blasts. News. Then England Test matches. Great. The whole hue and cry was translated to claps and whistles. We are Indian. News drives us. Ready to be happy again, forgetting the blasts again. Lets enjoy cricket and MSD strategies, till the time a new blast happens.

      Then again we will discuss Islam. We have a defined punching bag to strike with. We will keep boxing as long as it suites our adrenaline level. But surely, why the hell should I come out of my comfort shell. Corruption is bad, because I can see the effect to my earnings, and let it be if it do not harm me. If it effects me, then I will discuss at least, otherwise keep it to the business of channels and politicians. I hate Islam, They hate RSS, and Kashmir is an issue, what happened to Godhra, too many flavors to suite. I will pick the course of my tatse. This is India. Guys lets be open and don’t be such a typo psycho.

      Do you think Lokpal to be a solution?

      To me Lokpal is just another Taj Mahal to roam around. Can you control corruption? We have reason, logic. We are educated and reserve all the rights. What is law? Power takes its course to define, refine and do all sort of stunts with it. And we say the laws are old and inefficient. Who is really impotent? Who is inefficient? No process, no law can ensure anti corruption mindset, unless it comes from inside or is imposed with power in the hands of virtue and love. But, who will decide?

      Anna Hazare sb, with all due respect to your initiatives. You can steer people, make turmoil but this will never ensure a bit of improvement. You are missing the key.

      So, am i keeping myself to corner and commenting. India can’t be restored on papers and curbing politicians. My solution is what I look to these issues in layers and sub-layers.

      To me a layer is where a policeman is interested in patrol when his intent is to have some overtime bucks. There is intent. And intent is corrupt. To me a layer is where a teacher thinks him to be a dictator and decides the fate of student in prejudice. To me a layer is where a lawyer is interested in his case, not in truth. We all know it but do not practice it. To me a layer is the process, which introduces delays in justice, diluting the impact of crime. To me a layer is a clerk, who acts as a zombie to the chain of bribe and money laundering. To me a layer is a political system, where weakness is exploited, where issues are kept alive as keys to play games. To me there are layers; there are many layers, layers and layers. Mindsets are corrupted and no lokpal can make it de-corrupted.

      Indian system defines love to country. There are reasons shown. Hate your neighbors and this is equal to the love of your land. Truly. Foreign policies. Bomb blasts. Helpless people. These all are the results of our own selfish tendencies. This universe seeks balance in randomness. Nothing comes straight as a natural course. We must strive and keep constant effort. So we fail on a conceptual layer. Since we define the laws to suite ourselves, we must re-look.
