Public toilets in Chennai |

My clear and fully formed public ideas for vast mass consumption which do not require any further brainstorming, validation or endorsement . . . .
1. I have not volunteered to prepare project reports of any kind for any organisation. I am not in the business of project reports.
2. I am not interested in brainstorming of any kind with armchair intellectuals.
3. I am not a media limelight monger and do not waste time in organising media publicity about castles hanging in mid air. I do not waste my time in participating in such non value adding activities.
4. I do not indulge in cynical and sarcastic mud slinging or flippant side comments about our country's political leadership because
(a) Leaders enjoy a public mandate wherein I have enjoyed the privilege of elevating them to their stautus. Therefore any umbecoming comment about them is equally a comment about ourselves and our ability to select our leaders!
(b) Leaders (and bureaucrats) are necessary functionaries of a system which we have instituted and continue to live within by choice (without force). It is necessary to learn to respect persons who we receive help from and it is necessary to realise that snide remarks (if made) dampen the spirit of the next generation of workers who lose faith in the systems they will have to work and live within.
(c) Leaders including the ones we do not agree with are there because we have made no attempt (or lack the capability) to be there ourselves.
- - - Govind - I am available to you for specific work where you may consider me useful/necessary. Meaninglessly meandering discussions trailing into infinitely diverging tangents will get our country nowhere. Let us focus on our lives instead.
