The loser is one who does nothing; not the one who is defeated!!!

TSR Krishnamurthy who is a retired IAS officer came out with a book, I do not clearly remember the name of that right now,but I got a chance to read a few pages from that,as I borrowed it from library.

Here is My Assessment of the situation.

I read his book and there he wrote of some errant politician, whom TSR was accompanying,that politico asked the captain of flight to take it back to Delhi coz he has to change his PAAJAMAS according to(That Politician), were not looking good on him.

A Cabinet Secretary so he was right up on the ladder to the last step, where one IAS can ever reach, although political submission can get him to become Governor or something in legislative assembly too.

TSR has mentioned innumerous instances where, saw such behavior time and again. He bogged down to relentless pressure and came out with this book, to show his resentment. These days he can be seen at various shows on Political news keeping up the discussion.

But there is on idom in Hindi "saanmp nikal gaya aur lathi mar rahe hai". The same thing is what he is doing. While he had all the resources and power he didn't come forward and say a word against such stupid idiosyncrasy of our "Dhoti Chaap" politicians. Now he is found singing all songs that are cacophony to political ears. People can be seen saying "one who afraid of fighting injustice is the one who is with it and a bigger crime monger". But how many of us
really believe in that has to be seen.

There is another instance of Arun Bhatia, Who is a former IAS too. I m saying that he is a former IAS not coz he has retired but he has retired the whole system, he functioned for, from his kind presence.
"It is not enough to say 'I am honest.' You should enforce your honesty and confront the system. That's the bottom line." When Arun Bhatia utters these lines, it is not for effect. An officer of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) with a career spanning over 30 years, he has earned a reputation for exposing the shortcomings of and corruption in the very system he works for. Bhatia has paid a price for his actions - regular transfers, insignificant postings and juniors being promoted ahead of him. But nothing has deterred this bureaucrat; he just carries on digging out carefully guarded skeletons from within the institutions of governance".

He says:"
This is the time for anger. A time to commit yourself to good candidates. Not corrupt parties. Enough of analysis and pontification. Somebody has to enter the fray. Support those who do. So do become angry.Perceptive Indians realize that unless we improve our governance the democratic world will not respect us. Outsiders wonder how Indians function and eat their breakfast like normal people in the midst of deprivation and corruption. Therefore when we vote for honesty it gives us a personality that the civilized world understands."

He adds "What a travesty is it to be out of the system and abuse establishment, because you were more worried of being slaughtered while you were part of it, I know one who tries meets bitter fate but I am in no mood to be angelic cherub"


Direct Quotations from Mr.Arun have been picked up from some sites and TSR part is composed by me!!!
