Musings of a middle class executive

...on my way to office...what a horrible traffic man!!!......how can I show solidarity with Anna Hazare, the civil society and the Jan lokpal bill? ....may be i should do a day long dharna in front of my computer?....that's really easy...online activist - no stakes, no accountability...in any case, boss is now a days acting like a moron....no salary hike no promotion no bonus.....who wants to work here yaar........but the market is really bad...already sent resume to all the headhunters but no response.....I hear they are doing day long fasts in Nitin's office...that's pretty cool. Can we count this in CSR? May be yes, i can add this to my CSR achievements in the annual PMP...Too much corruption in India.... I pay all my taxes but what do I get? This company has bloody no tax savings scheme, for everything tax is deducted at source...at least spare per diem yaar....our society must change....but we need real revolutionaries in the neighborhood....oh no, i am not asking my kids to join politics, thats a place for criminals and corrupt, Rinku and Mini must go to IIT/IIM.....that way they will have a better chance to go abroad....oh, we have reached office...another long day...need to take a day off tomorrow , builder wants 20K for khata and it has to be paid in cash only...chalo achcha hai, khata aane ke baad flat ka price thoda bad jayega... Anna Hazare tum sangharsh karo, hum tumhare saath hain..!!

Good blog Manoj,

I like the writing style. You have jotted down the typical spontaneous thought chain (separated by …), without analysing or processing the individual links of the chain.

Yes we are in a Rat Race. And with crumbling civil infrastructure, and corruption at its peak, life gets worse. But I am optimistic because of following two factors:

1. There is a Breakout Principle(Book "The Breakout Principle by Herbert Benson"). We are the peak of the issues and we will automatically find a way out of this Rat Race, as we cannot get bear anything worse.

2. With US and now Europe leading the world into crisis (because of living a more lavish life than they deserve) Asia will be the next hub of opportunities. And our situation can only get better from now. :-)
