It is said that in western countries, you need to bribe to get illegal jobs to be done, here we have to bribe for legal jobs too!!<BR/><BR/>@ Shaili,<BR/>Email forwards are doing rounds now-a-days stating 49-O part of our constitution, wherein, you go to the polling booth and announce that u vote for no one... i don't know how far it is true. I tried checking it up online... nothing to prove so. so I dunno if tis an option for us.<BR/><BR/>@ Rayshma,<BR/>as i said, sometimes out of helplessness, we give in to bribing. I just hope next time we have the courage to put our foot down and insist on not offering a bribe. Though I'm seriously clueless as to whether all this will be possible?!<BR/>and the collecting litter in my bag thing, is what I used to do even in college. collect my friends' chocolate wrappers too, so that they don't litter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942036099036487222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568222715193414011.post-63156064972730787292008-12-12T12:53:00.000-06:002008-12-12T12:53:00.000-06:00totally with u. things i do: a. do NOT crib when m...totally with u. <BR/>things i do: <BR/>a. do NOT crib when my bags are asked to be checked. or when i have to take off my knee high boots for chkng. living in & traveling from the US, i am now used to it. <BR/>b. i do NOT litter. i empty my handbag once every week in the garbage bin at home, if it comes to that. but i can't litter. and this, since i was a kid.<BR/>c. i use footpaths & subways.<BR/>d. i pay my taxes.<BR/><BR/>things i need to do: <BR/>a. vote. been two years since i've been in india. don't know if i can vote and how. but will figure it out. <BR/>b. stop bribing. yes, i am extremely ashamed to admit it, but if i need to pay my way out of something, i do. it may not be large-scale.. but last time i was in india, i did bribe the peon in order to get my dad's death certificate before i was due to leave. and excuses like "i didn't want mom to do it" are legit. but still, it's bribing. and i shouldn't support it. <BR/><BR/>gosh! that's a long comment. once again, wonderful post.rayshmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702175811120928581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5568222715193414011.post-15181056429117692732008-12-12T09:58:00.000-06:002008-12-12T09:58:00.000-06:00exactly!!!!
