They don't call it taking bribes, but that is what it is. Greed is universal. <br /><br />You are a courageous woman, Suranga, and woe to someone who tries to cheat you.

Long ago, it was the release of my mother's pension arrears in a small town in Tamilnadu that took an endless period of time, that made my brother then a teenager pick up a fight with the dealing asst.In Bihar and Jharkhand people take pride in the amount of 'extra' income that a prospective groom manages to pocket. Then there are those who claim that such and such a person is honest even in corruption. You pay him money and your job is almost as good as done. There seem to be others who pocket money and don't even do the stipulated job and one dare not even question him/her about it. There are different grades and shades to corruption. May be one day we could jointly write a book if not for anything else at least to give vent to our disgust for the practise that most have accepted as part of life.Hip Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923596553558938547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-29989199662648512492010-04-24T16:28:09.632+05:302010-04-24T16:28:09.632+05:30excellent post..time has indeed changed now..prope...excellent post..time has indeed changed now..property dealings, making wills and divorce cases - lawyers make money like crazy in these fields..<br /><br />not only lawyers; but taking and giving bribe is a wide spread disease.. and few people like you still fight against corruption..Nehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210124858747262151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-60518004882412562572010-04-24T13:51:35.744+05:302010-04-24T13:51:35.744+05:30You've driven home the point very well.

Even though times have changed, ppl have become richer for greed, its honest mind that gives a peaceful night's sleep.<br /><br />PPl think that they have no time to wait in Govt offices and break under the pressure of these money seeking men. But, they shld learn to stand up for honesty.<br /><br />And one more thing, this IPL is running the 3rd season now. And only now were they able to find the frauds with so much money with them ?????UmaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17722531345534341610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-35880664560295632812010-04-24T11:15:12.111+05:302010-04-24T11:15:12.111+05:30Fantastic post ! yes.

There is just so much of money floatig in the world that soomewhere it has to end up somewhere ! <br /><br />Often times it ends up in places like the the IPL. Where in the name of a simple game, complex deals get structured and complicated relationships are flouted ! <br /><br />Its sad. There is another way of looking at this as well. As a neighbours daughter told me. "I dont think i will ever get into such stuff. Ever. "<br /><br />As much as its providing for information, its providing an opportunity to make a choice. An informed choice as well !<br /><br />:)Kavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426040093753611098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-62285208501541005912010-04-24T10:58:40.298+05:302010-04-24T10:58:40.298+05:30Suranga, it is so true that corruptions has exceed...Suranga, it is so true that corruptions has exceeded all boundaries nowadays. The IPL saga reads like something out of a fantasy novel. When people say that 70 crores is just a small amount something is very wrong.<br /><br />Underprivileged people do not have the luxury that better placed people have, though, of saying that they will never give a bribe. Near where we live there is a street with vendors selling all kinds of things on both sides.<br /><br /> It is not a hawking zone, and each vendor has to give a bribe regularly to the BMC employees, who will otherwise send a van to 'pick them up'.<br /><br />There are so many situations where poor people have to give bribes, just to be allowed to earn a living.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25171037.post-64660734811500355432010-04-24T10:57:38.241+05:302010-04-24T10:57:38.241+05:30Gappa, I loved the post and am in agreement with ...Gappa, I loved the post and am in agreement with every word of your post.
