I want to put my personal opinion here and would prefer if people that read the blogs do support and come up in support. All these problems including unemployment, shelter, food, health problem, lack of good doctors, hospitals, crimes, terrorism all are due to over population. Government put in all their efforts but fail to meet the demend of population. To my opinion, Government should make a law of two childs and appreciate in any way if one child. Incase if no step taken, our coming generation will suffer and as I read in one of the local newspaper, there will be no Ganga in coming 50 years. So what we are going to leave for our kids - No fuel, No water. Just imagine the life we will leave after our death. Can somebody come up with suggestions so that we can do something for our next generation. SERIOUS STEPS REQUIRED.

It is what happens to you when you engage with the harsh realities that Ketan has given a glimpse of, that will determine whether you have it in you to be the change that you want to see. If you have the strength to stand your ground and survive, then you are my man. One thing, to my mind the most important, that you have forgotten about is "getting to know the people" of your constituency, big or small. That emotional disconnect between the people and their leaders is a major factor contributing to the mess that politicians have created. You will connect with the people only if you want to lead them; not if your aim is to just rule them.

Well i appreciate your trying to put sense into those seem to crib for a hobby..but, (there is always a but!), i feel that the system right now is so corrupted that its not only the aforementioned 15 things that will make a better society. Let discuss why. I will take examples from my life. In my constituency, Voter IDs aren't just with mistakes, but in my experience simply erased. Pray why may you ask. I dont know. The last time i was in my home town, my name wasnt on the voting list. nor was that of my folks, some friends, and in instances entire societies, who were the intellectual lot failed to find their names on the list. We complained, raised a hue and cry, but still nothing till date. Last year, one of our family friends suffered a tragedy. No one dies thankfully. It was a case of eve teasing and hit and run combined against a 9 year old girl. Only 9 years old!!! We ran form pillar to post, media to DCPs, IASs to Politicos. The accused were let out on bail for mere 5000 bucks. Why? BEcause the system is so designed. Why dont i change it. I wish i could, and i tried, and tried and tried...and then said fuck it! I want to keep my family safe from these hooligans. And that was that. I am mighty impressed that you are appearing for the IAS, and i hope and pray that you do clear it, and be the change we all want. But, what now? what do i do with the jerks already in the system, who will waste no opportunity to squash any voice against them. So i figured that India as a nation is undergoing the same transformation that most developed countries of today underwent 50 years ago. No to say, that i dont raise my voice against what i think is wrong. I am not afraid for myself...but my family, thats a point to ponder.
