Kanchana -
Introspection?
My observations (in no particular sequence and without being politically correct):
Misunderstood concepts of democracy. The urge to be noticed - leading to posting commitments and not following through with action. The urge to nitpick - leading to fault finding with executive office(r)s without introspection of one's own misdeeds. The urge to throw tantrums - leading to complaints and rants (eg CAS issue last year) without examining the facts and real issues and unwillingness to walk the talk. Unwillingness to acknowledge the lack of actual hands on experience in public works and public life - feeling that half knowledge from the media and internet is the end all on every subject. Delusions of grandeur - talking about kicking off multi crore projects when one in reality lacks the commitment to meet the convener or moderator for just one hour on a holiday morning. Cynicism - habit of complaining sarcastically about the government (and employees therein) - forgetting that your own sons/fathers/mothers/neighbors/inlaws/friends are in there too - forgetting also that you elect the government! Unwillingness to get elbow grease - palms and feet in the mud - and perform physical labor.
additional comment : - Kanchana - the issue Govind has rightly raised is that posting on an inernet board is not the 'end' it is a means to an an 'end' - the 'end' is getting together to actually perform an act of labor (shramdaan) to make Chennai a better place to live and work in - so please do not feel apologetic in posting less here and more elsewhere - if at all an apology is due it is from anybody who posts suggestions and plans/ideas and then coolly vanishes instead of meeting Govind with a concrete time bound budgeted action plan and thereafter actually set out time and resource to implement. - You Kanchana have walked the talk on many public fora and your contribution to Chennai can not be ignored.Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI (new win) |
