April 2011, August 2011:-The whole nation is jubilant; last time this was for the world cup championship win and this time its for the Indian Govt agreed demands of young and brave Anna Hazare! Young? yes why not?? His stamina, will power and courage can make any 25 year old give a run for his age! So when Anna was fasting I could see the whole nation backing him which was indeed great but not everyone knew what exactly was the Lokpal bill and what were his demands. I too wasn't fully aware so I searched on Wikipedia and got the answers to my questions about this whole issue.
There were people supporting Anna on FB by making his photo as their profile pic, updating their status with praises to Anna and his team and curses to the Govt. People even posted pics wearing white topi on which it was written "I am Anna" in different languages. I am happy people are supporting Anna but I hope they prove it by action rather than imitation!
March 2012:-This post was written some months ago but couldn't complete . I revisited this page now and realized that whole enthusiasm of people have fizzled out now. No one seem to remember the bill, the agitation, the fast and Anna.
Just hope that people in India will take this bill personally as their aim to live a corruption less life. After all charity begins at home. So my suggestion is:

Just hope that people in India will take this bill personally as their aim to live a corruption less life. After all charity begins at home. So my suggestion is:
- to stand in the long line for any govt work and deciding not to bribe the peon to move ahead of others
- to go in the next train if the ticket is wait-listed but not to bribe the TC (its your mistake that you booked late)
- to pay fine for traffic offence but not to bribe the traffic police to cover up (definitely your mistake to cut the red light)
There are many scenarios where we can avoid paying bribe and let the people do their jobs at their own pace. We wouldn't need the parliament to pass the bill if no one accepts bribe which will happen if no one is ready to give bribe!!
Hoping a better future...for all!
