Oh! that is much better. You are doing right and it is matching my views! Only you are presentiing a different view to us! I am sure you are an absolute optimist, otherwise how would you make an effort like this! My optimism is based on the spirit of persons like you which can be seen even now! |

You have a lot to learn Alf. Think about it. Anger as an instrument of change. Look across history- reflect and get back to me. Why should I tell you everything? And dont throw attitude at me. You will have to swallow a lot of your words if u do. I am not simply opinionating I have studied these from several perspectives and I have examples at the tip of my fingers. But do reflect and you will find the answers for yourself. // We dont run in circles, in fact solutions become easier because we are not wearing rose tinted glasses and fooling ourselves that all is well when it is not. Empty optimism is a dangerous thing. It is what makes us say Mumabi will be Shanghai without a thought. The idiocy of it is only now dawning on some Indians after the Olympics. //Also if you find examples in history of benign change do do bring it to my notice and I will stand corrected. :)) |

Well, I am not sure why the reply resides in your GB! What you did to class 12 students is the solution to the problem. It is necessary to make them aware of it and prepare them. I agree, all social issues are related. My point is, While addressing one issue, if we highlight another which may also be related to another issue, it will become “Run in circle, scream and shout". No solution will come out on any issues. Empty optimism. I don’t know, what is it all about? Anger to find solution? Anger to remain against submission? Hmmm…Spare me… |

Excuse me, let us not mix up issues? Do you realise that these issues are inextricable? If there were no corruption, the poverty levels would plummet? That we would be a country of haves not have nots? Our country is blessed with climate, soil, beauty, intelligence and spiritual and cultural wealth? What more could any country ask? So let us not pretend that we are poor coz nature has given us little. Corruption cannot be viewed with a different lens and poverty with another. If you are a human being worth your salt you blood must boil for those who suffer, you must be their voice. I do not teach my children "empty optimism" Last week when I took a class of 12 year olds and spoke of corruption, not only were their mouths open, they wanted to know if they can activate the right to information act as kids and protest? I want to see anger not submission in the future generations my dear. It is this crappy 'oh things are not so bad' attitude that has been our bane. |

Teacher, thanks for responding. Let us not mix up issues. I have no difference of opinion on the issue of the degree of poverty and wide gap between the rich & poor. But the point we are discussing is about the one disease called Corruption. Let us make issues clash each other and make every issue weak. My points are addressing the corruption issue, neither its after effect nor its origin. Corruption is bad for whatever reason it is. We have to find solutions to overcome it. It is method of finding solution. Optimism or pessimism, I leave it to individual. As a teacher, I am sure you must be telling every day to children, “Pessimists reach nowhere”. Let me also switch of the microphone. |

Teacher, I have placed my delayed response to your observations on my comment in Amit's blog on "Independence". I thought of informing as you may not visit the older blogs. |

Thank you my dear, for the critique. For the bouquets and bricks. Very, very much appreciated :) Whenever you get the time, could you tell me me what the problem is with the plot. Since the plot arose in my head, for me it's subjective and I can't see the problem. Please elaborate whenever u can
Love
