Of morality and more....
The pay commision is down upon us and all our salaries are going higher. The economy of our country couldnt have been beeter. On second glance, it is still getting better.
But a better pay package and a god economy, does it make an advancement in the betterment of a country?
A higher pay package would definately encourage those employees in the lower rungs to work more responsibly. They would now, not resort to easier "sources of income", just because they were "paid too less". The quality of life might definately improve. Morality must improve. People will work harder, which inturn would improve the economy of the country, and so forth.
Do economically strong countries, like The Americas and Britain, face problems like bribery and corruption? Atleat from what we get to see from T.V., their police force is really good. Most of their officers have their own patrol cars, and they are in the crime scene in a matter of seconds. But then again it is the economy of their country.
Reality may not be economy based after all. Reality may be the basic psyche of an individual towards his personal morality. Is it connected with nationality and hence the economy?
But the stains of human evils will remain. The want for more will forever debate with morality. Economy, self's and the nation's, has got nothing to do with it.

Misguided
The death of Dr Rajkumar was mourned by everyone. Everyone? Who is he? An actor of the yesteryears who potrayed the common man and enacted their dreams and fantasies. But really, who is he?
No one outside the good state of Karnataka seems to know him. He was an icon, an inspiration to the misguided youth and a say to anything. Is it?
Many may know what he has done for his "people", in his lifetime. And many will come to revere him for this. But fo the rest of us, really, who is he?
All I know is, he is the guy who brought Bangalore City to a halt. His death triggered a mindless violence in which many were harmed. They beat up a cop to death, during the ensuing violence. Was the poor soul insulting the dead icon in any manner? Was he a bachelor? Was he living alone? Did he have a family to feed, a sister to marry, children to educate? Was he a fan?
He might not have been and he might have been. But what was definately true that he was doing his job and he died on the call of duty. The 'people' forgot this. They forgot that apart from their own misguided, miserable lives, they have a family to look back to, someone at home looking forward for them. And yet they yield their power of being in a mob in taking another's life, with so much intensity and passion tha speaks of no remorse or mourning.
I pray for the dead policeman and his broken family, and I pray that I wont die a useless death.
