Happened with me at office, when a colleague who had Anna's photo as profile pic was going to have his DL made. When asked whether he has paid any bribe, his excuses started as "My father has paid it not me" and we were able to wriggle out that the bribe had been paid for DL of a 4 wheeler, which he did not know how to drive!!!Sukhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213476532794019415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285415947905834826.post-60504481866043088012011-09-01T20:11:15.494+05:302011-09-01T20:11:15.494+05:30I am not sure you have posted with a similar tone ...I am not sure you have posted with a similar tone in your "Chinna Veedu"! I think not becuase you are still alive!<br /><br />Nothing you have said is new to me, to you, to the tradesr, to the businessman ... But when posts such as yours are running up a steep slope of a milion to one (a million feet vertical to one foot horizontal), it is absolutely essential. However, given your talents, I am left to wonder, you could not have said all these things through the mouths of I, Me, Myself.<br /><br />You did not spare many. You should have asked Kaushik Basu to enlighten us on which if the instances you had mentioned are of the "Harrassment" variety! The good professor would have been stumped!<br /><br />Raghuram Ekambaram<br /><br />P.S. I come here as and when and in a day or two I would have read it, just as I have done most of your posts.mandakolathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774568024246167410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285415947905834826.post-37866909137775409562011-09-01T17:53:05.330+05:302011-09-01T17:53:05.330+05:30Balu,

I am not sure whether i am a draupadi or a maneka! but i have legal softwares on my laptop and on my desktop (one is xp and other is windows 7) and all my software is licensed one. i have not paid any amount in cash and perhaps i am the only one among 152 flats of my society to pay in full by cheque although it meant i had to shell out Rs 1 lakh more towards tax! Just because i did not want to bribe RTO of Pimpri, i sold my car back in Vapi despite losing money for having a NOC still not shifted. the thing is, Corruption at the higher level is pretty bad and that needs to be stopped. they have started doing corruption blatantly and openly with a challenge what we could do to them. That should be stopped. Chanakya had mentioned about corruption that means it is in our blood. but to what extent? somewhere it has to stop. it will stop. let us hope<br />cheers<br />GopalNarasimhan Gopalakrishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13620782389518792152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285415947905834826.post-31578980395339648372011-09-01T15:09:21.521+05:302011-09-01T15:09:21.521+05:30Nice one..
