Hello readers
We talk about change all the time, but that change is possible only if that change comes from within.
We have read countless articles of changing the system, corruption the way things work in India, well we have so much material that we can publish a textbook on this.
But the problem is we just read or express our concerns to one another and have made this a social talk when we meet relatives or friends and we conclude “this country does not have a future and so on.
But have we any time thought about this: whose country is it? Who is responsible for how things work around here?
The answer all points out to the man in the mirror, of course it is us.
Let us take a small example of the Bengaluru Corporation election that happened yesterday we read in the papers that only 45% turned out to vote what about the rest of the 55% why did they not come out to exercise their franchise do they not care about the locality where the reside? We feel this is one of the reasons why undeserving people get the power.
It is each and every citizen’s duty and right to vote. Why should anybody vote for those who are unlawful? The people should be asked for their decision. What is happening in reality is the person who is issuing the ticket and the candidate, both are corrupt.This very problem has to be addressed at the root itself.
Hope you all are doing great.
Yatha Raja,Thatha Praja
Yatha Raja,Thatha Praja
-Sanskrit Proverb.
But We feel this proverb has become the other way round that is Yatha Praja Tatha Raja let us find out why.
We the people of India are good at talking things which are absolutely of no use.

We lack common-sense. We are least bothered about everything which is happening around us. We don't care or respect each other, We have to be selfish but that also has a threshold level, beyond which is not virtuous. In reality what are we? We are highly greedy and egoistic to the core.
Progress of a nation is entirely in the hands of its people. But what kind of people matters a lot. We recently had a conversation with a police constable. While talking, he said there is no one who would come out and support when there is any issue that requires people support.
Why should we bother? It is none of our business. Let us first look after ourselves. These are the usual dialogues what we voice.

Escapism and blaming is what we are extremely good at. How often we accept our mistakes? Just point your fingers on the other person and be safe.
Any rule or law is for the well being of the people only. What we do? We start to find a loophole in the law or rule and make it as per our requirements.
What kind of development is expected? Development has to happen from within. There is no point in constructing multi-storey buildings and improving the infrastructure unless and until there are true people in it.

Why can't the people (we) question during the nomination of the candidates ? if we feel that the candidate who is contesting for the elections is a rogue why do we allow him to contest at the first place?
Why don't we speak out when it matters the most? It is because we know only to argue mindlessly.
We feel enough is enough we should start changing ourselves,that will be first step to at least get out of this vicious circle.
Let us stop throwing stones at others when we know we all are in a glass house.

Michael Jackson the King of pop composed the song 'Man in the mirror' so finally it all points to us.
Even the famous movie director and actor Upendra Rao has tried to bring this awareness in all his movies.
