Moral Corruption

“We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side by side; one which we preach but do not practice, and another which we practice but seldom preach.”
-Bertrand Russell

In today's world if you return the balance from a check that the guest pays at a restaurant, you are considered noble. Hey i was talking about morality here! Now the latest being the suspension of Lalit Modi. Honestly, why is there such a hue & cry about it. Everyone has just one thing to say "Usne Paisa Khaya Hai!" The question i ask is very simple, who amongst them didn't make use of the plenty money falling their way. In other words, " Paisa sab khate hai" who gets caught, is the real catch.Everyone will just completely overlook the real hard work that guy must have done, and now in the public eyes, he becomes the real "Culprit". All he did wrong was, to press the wrong nerve of the wrong person at the wrong time. Till yesterday, Shilpa & Raj Kundra were owners of the Rajasthan Royals team. As soon as this issue hits the media, Shilpa Shetty suddenly changes her statement to being merely the brand ambassador of the team! My favorite guy,Tharoor, who honestly i thought was the real hope to Great Indian Political drama, steps down from his portfolio, gave me a real heartache. Extremely well read man, having the experience of holding important positions at the UN, nouvelle ideas, failed miserably at the most important task: Understanding the "cattle class" which makes up 90% of the Indian population. Only if he understood hes not dealing with the white house anymore. Just when i thought that phew! our country is finally progressing, we have the younger generations of the well known politicians of the erstwhile times. Thud! we hit the ground reality, its all an eye wash. All the hero politicians of mine like Sachin Pilot, J Scindia play the role of the nominal head much like the text book job descriptions of the President, remember president is the 'nominal head' & prime minister the 'real head'. These people were carefully put in place to show, that the younger generation is actively involved, when these people have no real powers vested in them. Like the other day, my sister goes to get a college form, completely unaware that she has to submit a draft and not cash. The guy at the counter looks at her & says pay me Rs. 50 extra for each form & i shall get a draft for you. Just when she does that & leaves, thinking he was sweet, where would i have gotten a draft from, she overhears the guy talking to another boy " Two lanes down is the bank, go get a draft made"! The scenario looks bleak, but hey we are getting there...where?....being moral and preaching it too..!
