Are Indians doing enough for the country...?

Scenario 1 Evening at the dinner table a small family & friends gathering, sat us, discussing the pathetic state of Indian polity, the bureaucracy, rampant corruption, and how the government has not drafted its policy properly for vision 2020. Ladies are more concerned about growing commodity prices and increasing the syllabus of our children. The trauma that they face every day in dealing with their day-to-day expenses. Oh yeah!!! The cuisine served is good but the Kebab could have been crisper... Mrs. Sharma has purchased a new sari - a very elegant one and nice fabric.. It's from a shop in a mall, which has opened last week...Few of our ladies have planned to visit the mall next week. My good friend Mr. Singh is telling how he imported a car by frisking duties- His brother is in Customs..Some senior positions. Mr. Gupta is quite excited and asks if he could get some help in case he wishes to do so!! The talks are endless..... We have had some drinks over the discussion. It's Time for dinner.

Scenario 2.
Oh!! Woke up late... It was 2.0 A.M when we came. I have to rush to the office... By the time we are ready, it's already 9.00 AM. Not enough time for Breakfast will take in the office. Has to drop wife in between. She is also ready... Huge rush on the roads... These silly buggers (the politicians/bureaucrats blah blah...) They couldn't do enough to make this road wider and manageable in the last 20 years... Oh. There is an accident on the road.. The guy is bleeding. For god sake, somebody helps him and drops him at the hospital. Pity for the poor chap... Our police - don't know if they could come in time? Have to deposit the Advance Tax..Need to think, how can I save it? Need to call the C.A in the afternoon. Hectic day in the office. It was month-end and target pressures are killing us. The big deal is on the way only if the management approves for some consideration the customer's wants. He is stuck at 5% while the company wants it at 3%. Let's see what happens. Coming back to home. It's around 9.30 PM. Passing through, came across the place, morning accident had taken place. A police constable in mid 50's standing at the site, his lathi in his hand, no place to sit. He has been there since morning. Very tired. Wife just came. Don't feel like making food. Children have slept. They had called for pizza. Took a drink. Can't handle it enough. Read in the newspaper the next day, the boy who met with an accident, died as he could not be taken in time to the hospital. Nothing can happen in this country!!!!! Had applied for US-Visa.The same is approved. Will leave with my wife next month. Maa -Papa will stay back.. can afford so many people with new jobs in the US. They will be visiting us every year.. We have a good tenant to take care of them!!!!!!!!!! And yes I will be sending them regular paychecks...
