The Anna Rhetoric!

The tricolour will be out again; The name 'Gandhi' will be heard again (When i was in school that happened once a year on october 2nd); Passionate Indians will have their bloods boil; I'm Anna, I'm India voice (Or is it a noice?) will be heard again; Saintly Indian's biggest enemy 'The politicians' will be targeted and that horrible word 'corruption' will become Arnab Goswami's favourite word again.
 
No, No, No, please! don't eat anything. An old man in his 70s is fasting, why can't you fast? fast for the country? If not you, then who? If not now, when? This is the second revolution, and we will surely save the country from the money sucking politicians. Lokpal! Lokpal will do wonders. Lokpal, will make the country clean. Lokpal, will make sure that the next generation will search the oxford dictionary to get corruption's meaning. Ah, the rhetoric!

Sorry for not making any sense. The movement has not made any sense to me, then, how can you expect me to make any sense?

This entire thing looks so very vague to me. I mean, how can one lakh Indians who have copied in exams, broken queue's to get first, given bribe's to escape traffic police, paid money to buy college seats, Cheat in every other way in our daily works for every single penny, want their leaders to be saints? 

Good for a movement to have brought the disease of corruption on to the centre stage. But for the disease to be eradicated, lokpal is not the solution. The solution is you and me. For you and me to stop giving bribe's, to stop cheating in taxes, to stop showing wrong bills to get claims, to stop lying to bosses;

Till that happens, singing Vande maataram and swinging Indian flags wildly can give goose bumps; but cannot stop politicians (Our leaders) from becoming corrupt

Hi! This is really cool. We were both thinking the same thing! I have been off the blogosphere for sometime now (except for few sporadic forays) and realise I have missed a lot! Good to read this and some of you other posts too. Looking forward to more. God bless!
