Long story short... a POOR man with a bullet logged in his head has to wait for a court injunction to be operated upon at AIIMS.
And when I say POOR it's not like the once in TAJ who got caught in the 26/11 mayhem... but literally.. POOR. No money.
Call it the doctor's apathy or poor man's fate, the result is the same. He suffers. No wonder the world thinks that India cannot do high end work that requires discipline. What's the connection?
For administrative cycle to work efficiently, it takes people to follow laws and rules. Like you not breaking the signal or paying that extra money to the cop to let you off the hook without entering your name in the book or spending that extra % in the lands and records office to ensure your paper does not get lost... the list is endless and you know it.. cos you are guilty as well.
Coming back to the point, to follow rules and laws it takes discipline. A lot of it! Guess we need to learn from the Chinese how to do that... they were on par with us when we got our freedom in most departments and behind in others. Today they are so far ahead.
Wish we had politicians who had at least some will power and pride in getting things done for the nation.
As for Siva... our poor man in the spot, hope he regains his vision and has a healthy life ahead. And AIIMS can set its AIM at better people's (aam admi!) service and not just the VIPs who roll in there with their cavalry!
As for you, do you think you have the balls... so to say... to be disciplined? To stand up when things are wronged? Not just when you are in the picture... when it does not concern you as well? Do you have it in you to be a real citizen? Citizen of this country and not just your house?
Do you?
