I also provided employment
by Dare on Apr 29, 2008 06:26 PM

When I read this example, I felt timid.. what have I done for India , esp to reduce unemployment. Then light dawned on me..:
1)Whenever I go to ration shop for changes/correction in the card, I have to bribe.. I believe I am paying some salary to those govt karmachari.. so I employ them ..
2)When I have to go to muncipality for water connection etc, they ask me for karcha pani, again I am providing employment to some govt employees
3)I could not get train reservation early this year. So I had to pay bribe to agents, who had blocked all seats on Day 1 itself so we dont have to stand in line but can get from them.. I believe I am sponsoring that person's childrens eductaion for that year atleast
4)I was caught by traffic cop.. yu hi, say signal thoda.. so had to give him chai paani.. I was happy, may be I helped her wife with grocery for that week with that.. again helped in employment
5)My son needs an admission at a kindergarten. Went to the best school, they said give 75K in donation.. Well I said no and went to a lesser known school and agreed for 25K.. Now I realize,. I probbably employed that principal for a month thru my donation
6)My power company charges higher energy bill, shweras everyone else in my building have considerably lower.. when I approached the technician.. he said, kaam ho jayega, 3000 mein.. I said OK, gave him and am worry free for the remainder of the year.. some employment taht for him..
