how " Jan..." is Jan Lokpal

how to define corruption...

is it an act of...commission;or an act of omission..?

is it born of greed;or born out of need..?

where is the fine line that divides privileges and graft..?

is only the receiver of graft guilty , or is it the giver who is also equally responsible..?

is the definition , if we have any ,dynamic in nature , which changes with time and circumstances..?

with many more questions in mind i, implore you to deliberate upon some issues which touch our daily lives...

is bribing a TTE  to get a berth for ones pregnant wife ...corruption?

or paying hush money to a blood bank employee to obtain o-ve blood for ones dying brother corruption?

is paying an auto ricksha driver over and above the meter to ensure that one reaches the railway station in time corruption?

is buying LPG from black market to ensure your children get their meals in time , corruption?is buying PDS kerosine in black to ensure profit , to pay for the exorbitant fees for the so called "international school" your children study in , corruption?

is sending your children for tuition at home of his class teacher corruption?

does jumping a red light habitually amounts to corruption?

is blocking a free left turn corruption?

ignoring the people standing in a que  does going to the ticket window corruption ?

is use of official vehicle for shopping corruption?

is accepting a gift from you subordinate on festivals corruption?

is paying your house maid peanuts, corruption?

is running a commercial establishment form a residential area corruption?is copying in exam corruption? 

is charging 50 Rs for an article costing 49.78 Rs corruption? Is not giving the bill for same of instead of change returning sweet corruption?

is claiming bogus TA/ DA  corruption?

is going late to office, extending lunch hours, and breaking off early , corruption?

the list is long , and the more i brood over it , i realize more corrupt i am. 

Life is full of shades of Grey. The only thing which is black or white is character.

now may i ask, those who support the Jan Lokpal, how does the bill intended to address these invisible issues imbedded in our daily lives.

institutional corruption does not touch me now and then, and the existing framework of Indian Constitution can be effectively used to contain it...

provided we have character....
