I also provided employment
by Dare on Apr 29, 2008 06:26 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

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..

I do dare to declare that we give and take .. not only money, some times portion of name and fame knowingly or unknowingly .. what do sir, situations are compelling us to live 'other way too'

Logically putting a list of real life needs and deeds, our friend 'dare' ... tried to account them as social services { ?/! } to satisfy the questioning inner consciousness of some of us.
