Government Jobs Anyone?
I came to know from a recent survey that government jobs and Politics were among the lowest of choices for the kids growing up in metropolitan Indian cities, and Military figures in for fantasaic reasons (that they get to use a gun aka Arnold Schwarzennegger)
Now this blog is not about the job preferences of the future...........but about why this state has come to WRT only govt offices.
Now govt offices have always known to be archaic in systems and very highly babu driven, hundred thousand forms,seals required from every VAO and tahsildar and DM and what not.
Now todays middle aged population (the non govt one) is huge in number and they have a systemic dislike for govt offices and officers for a few reasons, 1. they are a pain, 2 they are a pain and 3. they are unfair.
Even if iam eligible to get my license- it doesnt come till my legitimately earned money of 300 Rs passes illegitamately into his purse. Even if it comes it will be atleast 3 weeks later whereby i would have spent a equal amount of money travelling to and fro to the RTO.
i think many people promote baksheesh just out of necessity to save time, they spend the same amount of money either way, they might as well give the money now, earn good will, get their license, and go home happier unaware of the fact that they have contributed to india's growing black money.
Now what i would like to see is a government office - preferably an RTO some where in India where there are boards right from the gates to the Babu's badges, which proclaim that they dont accept baksheesh, and where there are no touts.
I'm not worried that this might actually happen, it has to some time eventually, but will our junta which is used to baksheesh paying easy life be able to deal with a honest babugiri?
Now i want to be the change agent in all this, but right now i'm in my own cocoon where i'm very comfortable sitting in my drawing room sipping coffee and lloking at my list of ruminations and blogging away to glory.
And hey when the changes happen eventually........... let me know imay take up some job in the government and not promote the ghoos culture in my office.......
Government jobs (honest government jobs) anyone
