Roffi: If you pointed towards Kanak, I’d personally like to differ. He isn’t pessimistic. He’s way too realistic (no pun or disregard intended towards anyone).
Yes! I agree with him when he says that “…one attitude I have noticed with most of us. We get inspired very easily and then forget things as fast as possible…”.
There was surge of this inspirational when RDB was released (you’ll know if you are Indian), and at several other such events.

The point is there is nothing wrong with getting inspired. Even if 1 out 100 inspired individuals retains it and sets out, I’d satisfied.
I haven’t given up yet on humanity yet, you see.

@KANAK:

Much as we are not ready to change Kanak, it’s easy for us to talk about not changing. =(! Sadly, the day that changes, only then can we even hope to become better. However, unless each one of us strives to make that change within us, we are not going to get ahead.

Simple q: When you are in India, how much of the traffic rules do you follow and how much of it do you follow when you are outside the country?

The change has to be first from within (I am not pointing fingers =D)

@abhijeet , @bipin
thats one attitude I have noticed with most of us. We get inspired very easily and then forget things as fast as possible. I think you didnt understand my concept for corrupt politicians and giving the example of iitians loosing the election campaign, its all about that people are not ready for change.
Well you might be tired hearing about the politicians, might be because its a reality. I stay in Dubai, and the kind of development it has gone thru in 36 years, some countries are not able to achive in 100 years. Its was all result of the far sighted vision of the Dubai ruler,coz he had the power of making things happen.
about voting, i dont vote coz I dont have a voter id card which is under process but my parents do and they encourage others to. May be this time i might get and then I will be able to vote thru indian embassy.
What personal responsibilities are you talking about?? Yeah I do pay tax on time. I pay water , electricity , telephone bill on time. I pay fine for speeding over 80kmph on Delhi noida 4 lane road. I try to repair the road to my house which again turns the same after a month. I give my car to the garage coz the monthly maintainance fees gets so high coz of the one KM stoney and bumpy road to my house. There are lots of other things but still do i get a secure future ???
Being a working class , we can participate and extend full support to the such kind of campaign. But my question is will things actually change ?? or are things actually changing ???
