Side-stepping

You know what the problem is?! The problem is that in this country, people side-step too much. There is no accountability of the government machinery which leads to underdeveloped roads, loss of power and unclean drinking water. How does the Indian man respond to it? If her can afford it, he lives in areas which are blessed with the few well made roads, he lives in an apartment which has a power backup (and a monthly bill of it) and finally, he buys an RO system for his house. With all that side-stepping, it is a shame that we dance like numb-skulls. What do the people who cannot afford it, do? Well, they develop a wrecked body from the unsuspecting hops and skips of their bikes over the potholes. They learn to live without power, interpreting an unproductive wastage of hours as an idyllic life-style. And finally, they learn to drink the filthy water, complimenting themselves on their superior immune system.

But apart from all of that, do you know what all of this leads to?! Elitism! People fight for their share and start living lives that are marked by how they can differentiate themselves and prove themselves better than others. Its true that people differentiate themselves around the world. But the better way to do it is usually through their actions, achievements or skills. In India, the differentiation is done through money and a basic standard of living. Paying Rs 80K for an apartment that still looks like shit from outside (in Bby) is a pointless way of differentiation....
