Inspite of we having numbers, we are losers. Because we don't vote. You are right that there is not a single party with good people. Good people are not around because they know good people do not vote. Once good people know educated people have started to vote, they will take active participation. Until then it is our duty to keep first step forward.<BR/><BR/> Regarding your Mumbai horror, sorry to hear about that. You have to agree that this could have happened to you anywhere in India. That is why I said in my post that "Stand up wherever you can". It would be really foolish on our part to confront a situation where we do not stand a chance. But we can make a point and then see if we can do anything. If there is a situation like you encountered, best to get out from it. we get into situation because everyone in crowd thinks why waste time. The offending party knows we are alone. That is why they make noise. But when you have enough company, stand up for what you think is right. <BR/><BR/> In any case, what you have done is good. Heroic. No matter small, but really heroic. Atleast when you go home, you sleep in peace. You know you stood up for something. And take some time off to get your voter ID card. <BR/><BR/>Thanks.Mumbai Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02690434871739403687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19578200.post-1153356176484903472006-07-19T17:42:00.000-07:002006-07-19T17:42:00.000-07:00I agree with every thing you have to say. I have n...I agree with every thing you have to say. I have never voted simply because I have never been issued a voter id card. I am ashamed. The urban vs rural and literate vs illetrate, people who can be bought to vote and cant be. The ratio definitely says tht we have more people who can be bought to vote. So id peopl ewho are educated shun away from electing, we r further decresing any chance of having any thing good. But do we have a fine party. where is it. Every party I know is sad and sucks. A few clean guys who were independent candidates were never votes coz of the sheer tilted voting public maybe. <BR/><BR/>We write and express. Yes, we can continue to write. The Gvmt wont really ban blogs if this writing were not a threat for them in form so our writing is powerful in ways we dont know. <BR/><BR/>But thats not the end of our duties. We have to be responsible and say no to giving bribes for a shorter way, in all ways. I have stood up against injustice all the time but have been thrown aside. I remember comming to Mumbai once and having this argument with a vendor who was selling a soft drink for double the price. I didnt want to pay beyound the MRP but she screamed at me, told me she will send someone to beat me up and after 10 minutes of a fight and public view I had to leave in a huff as my boat was leaving. This is the latest incident I had before leaving from India. its nothing great, but I saw the look on the eyes of people, they just pronounced me dumb to take panga with Mumbai guys. <BR/><BR/>Sorry this has been a long assembly of words. Good speaking guy. We all ought to be heros.SCRIBBLEZ TO WAKEUPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310867247705938849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19578200.post-1153347673114705632006-07-19T15:21:00.000-07:002006-07-19T15:21:00.000-07:00Meg, Anand : Thanks for your comments.

It happens all too often here in the US. It must be human nature to sit back and not take action, to wait for someone else to do something...are we all afraid to get involved, to speak up??? <BR/><BR/>You wrote a beautiful post and very thought provoking I might add.

And that too, in a hurry. <BR/><BR/>I am here to tell you that, I don't mind your discussion with 'thinking girl' in my post. <BR/><BR/>My comments shall follow soon. <BR/><BR/>I hardly find any time nowadays to sit infront of the computer. <BR/><BR/>Blogging takes time. Not much left nowadays.<BR/><BR/>So, don't feel bothered to discuss with anybody in my blog. Comments are made for that. <BR/><BR/>The people who got PACSed did visit my blog only once i guess. They are not bloggers. So they are not aware of whatsoever. Don't bother again about it. <BR/><BR/>shall visit your blog later and read your posts and shall tell you what i think. <BR/><BR/>cheers for now,<BR/>PrashPrashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07035011813347477952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19578200.post-1152931113854013402006-07-14T19:38:00.000-07:002006-07-14T19:38:00.000-07:00Thanks Ajay.
