**लोकशाही**

आज सकाळची एक साधी घटना.

पुणे महानगरपालिकेची कचरा गोळा करणारी गाडी रस्त्यावर उभी राहिली. पाच-सहा कर्मचारी खाली उतरले आणि कचरा गोळा करण्याचे काम सुरू झाले. हे काम जवळपास वीस मिनिटे चालले.

या संपूर्ण वेळात गाडीचा चालक मात्र निवांत मोबाईलवर व्हिडिओ पाहत बसला होता. सकाळची वेळ म्हणजे अनेकांची ऑफिसला जाण्याची धावपळ. गाडी रस्त्याच्या एका भागात मधोमध उभी असल्यामुळे अर्धा रस्ता बंद झाला, वाहतूक लांबपर्यंत खोळंबली; पण त्या चालकाच्या चेहऱ्यावर ना घाई, ना जबाबदारीची जाणीव.
काम संपले, चालकाने शांतपणे(निर्लज्जपणे) गाडी पुढे घेतली आणि ट्रॅफिक पूर्ववत सुरू झाले.

यातून एक गोष्ट स्पष्ट दिसते. व्यवस्थेतील एखादा कर्मचारीही शेकडो सामान्य नागरिकांना वेठीस धरू शकतो आणि तो धरतो ही.
कदाचित मिळणाऱ्या पगारापेक्षा नागरिकांना वेठीस धरल्याचा आसुरी आनंद त्याला जॉब सॅटिस्फॅक्शन देत असावा.
आणि रस्ता अडवून कचरा भरणाऱ्या गाड्या मी आजपर्यंत खूप वेळा बघितल्या आहेत.
ही आपल्या लोकशाहीतील उत्तरदायित्वाच्या अभावाची वस्तुस्थिती आहे.

आणि मग काही जण खासगीकरणाला नावं ठेवतात!

I don’t understand why weddings need to create traffic chaos.

One family is celebrating.

Thousands of strangers end up stuck on the road.

Loud DJs, blocked lanes, endless honking, and firecrackers flying in every direction.

A few days ago, a wedding firecracker damaged my car windshield.

A happy occasion for some became a repair bill for someone else.

Celebrate as much as you want.

Just don’t make the entire city part of the invitation list.

Absolutely agreed with Mr. Rishi Bagree. He is spot on. If students reach the examination centre late, it means they are not serious, and rules are rules, they must be followed.

Also, if the question paper of such an important exam gets leaked, it means the National Testing Agency is also not serious about the future of students.

@REDBOXINDIA The only solution now is to supply E20, E30, E85 water now. People can drink it, and when they have to pee, do it in cars bikes. Complete closed loop. No wastage. Farmers income will also get boost

@Portfolio_Bull 1,00,000 customers per month -> 3,334 per day -> 138 per hour -> 2.3 customers per minute, assuming the hotel is running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Which restaurant is serving ~2 customers every minute.

#WATCH | Teena Choudhry, the woman seen in the viral video wearing a black cap, confronting Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan over a traffic jam, releases a statement detailing her side of the story

She says, "I have received so many messages regarding my safety. I want to let you know that I'm fine and I appreciate the concern. That day, on April 21, I dropped my daughter off for her music class at four. I was meant to pick her up at 4.45. When I took a left turn from Mahindra Taj, we got stuck in a jam there. I was in my car for 25 minutes. When the traffic did not move, I got out to find out what the problem was. For the next one and a half hours, I went to every single police officer there to request that if you get the two buses removed, people who are stuck, we can make a U-turn and join the main road. I received no reaction, no response. I did not throw that bottle towards any protester or rally, but on the ground to attract the attention of the police... Mr Mahajan was actually the only person in that rally who at least tried to listen to what I was saying. On his instructions, the two buses were moved, and we all took a U-turn, and we were able to join the main road..."

Her name was Shehla Masood.

She was 38 years old, lived in Bhopal, and ran an event management company.

Then in 2009, she discovered the RTI Act.

She filed over 200 RTI applications in two years. She exposed illegal construction happening in plain sight. She fought to save tigers being poached by the very forest officers meant to protect them. She took on Rio Tinto, a global mining giant sitting on 27.4 million carats of diamonds inside a protected forest in Chhattarpur. Two district collectors were transferred to make that mining happen. She filed RTIs, went to parliament, and stopped it.

A month before she died, she gave an interview. She said she feared for her life but would not stop, because the nexus between politicians and babus was slowly poisoning this country.

On August 16, 2011, she sat in her car outside her home, about to leave for an Anna Hazare rally.

A hired gunman shot her once through the throat.

The CBI said the motive was a love triangle. Four people were convicted and sentenced to life. The mining angle was never investigated.

Her father told investigators that high profile people had conspired to kill his daughter.

Nobody listened.

She was posthumously given the SR Jindal Crusade Against Corruption Award, an honour shared with APJ Abdul Kalam.

India rewarded her with a bullet, then gave her an award, then forgot her name.

Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

[Hardik Rajgor @Hardism]

Everyone is "tolerating" this woman because she seems "ache ghar ki". She is wearing decent clothes, speaking in English. So the police will let her be, the minister will act cordial.

If in her place, it was a rickshaw driver (whose time is also equally important), he would be thrashed by the cops right there and the minister would laugh on his face.

That is the "system" we have created in India.

Ministers and politicians act like kings, and we are supposed to be under their mercy. The middle class will be tolerated but eventually shown their place. The poor have no say and only matter when their vote is needed.

Look at the presumption with which “private school” is simply asserted as the better option.

Why don’t the workers request / demand from / intimidate their government to improve public schools? Because private employers, who pay the taxes to run these private schools, are the soft targets. Public schools are unionized and immutable in their corruption, waste and (lack of) performance.

Not only must *you* pay taxes to fund the failed and corrupt public school system which carries on as-is with zero accountability or reforms, you must also now pay house workers and maids much beyond market salary so that they too can send their children to the “better” private schools! This is nothing but another tax loaded onto those who already pay a heavy share of tax in India.

All while being guilt tripped by corrupt, socialist politicians and their illiterate media cronies (who themselves “underpay” their own staff).

Good luck, Indian taxpayer!

The best gift aging parents can give their children is not money or property, but staying reasonably healthy, so the children can live, work, and travel without carrying silent anxiety and constant worry about their health.

Almost in all Indian cities, dust is something that has been very normalised! Stepping back after a bike ride in any city feels like coming from a construction site!

[maaya @mohmaaya]

wake up, brush with fake sensodyne, have bad poha for breakfast, travel to work inhaling high aqi air by private vehicles using costly fuel, eat fake paneer for lunch, drink sewage water, back home avoiding potholes, rash drivers and falling objects, watch photoshoots on news, sleep, pay taxes.

[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

For all the positivity that you may have for India, it usually evaporates instantly when you see how authorities treat you and how they give damn about you

Don't believe me. Check this out.

This is a scene from the road behind my house. For an instance you may think it is a World war trench, but it isn't.

It is the great BMC doing one more dig in the quest for oil, treasure or god knows what. The excuse here is that they are laying pipes.

Now after digging they realised that they have blocked the main gates of some buildings, making it impossible for them to enter or exit their own houses

So what do they do?

Instead of building something safe and secure, they simply threw across those "Sorry for the interruption" board across the chasm, precariously that too, and told the residents to use it to cross.

If you look at it, it is untethered, rickety and can fall anytime. And God forbid if it falls while some person is crossing it, they will most probably die.

BMC is making Mumbaikars play, fear factor in real life.

And the reason they do that, is because they know even if someone actually gets injured or dies, they are not going to get punished, they are not going to be sanctioned, nobody is going to get blacklisted or disbarred and nobody is going to go to jail.

At most they will be fined some 2 lakh rupees, which for them is less than what they earn in 15 minutes

This rickety makeshift "bridge" is the perfect example of how much authorities value your life and how much they care about you.

> Project cost: 6.21 crores

> Complaint: 650 families made complaints of noise pollution due to playing Jio Ho song 24x7

No one will be held accountable, no one will be asked why they wasted taxpayers money on such an useless idea.

But you don't forget to add your 340 rupees FD interest while filling ITR, otherwise they'll identify you, send you notice or even come to your home, put penalty and collect tax after adding 12% interest.

@fpjindia @vssalman007 Apt representation of how our clueless authorities work. Absolute joke and mockery.

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkOfCric]

Same boring IPL again. How are people even finding this entertaining? It’s just flat pitches and "win the toss, win the match." You could set a target of 300 and they’d still chase it down because there’s zero help for the bowlers.

There’s no respect for the game and no balance anymore. I’m tired of seeing a four or a six every single ball; it’s not real cricket. A real fan wants to see a pitch where bowlers actually have a chance to take wickets, not just get bullied.

Honestly, these flat tracks are boring and meaningless. The IPL has become a joke it feels like watching a game in a local park rather than an international standard tournament. No skill, just mindless hitting.
