CORRUPTION BEGINS WITH UNWANTED LAWS

Image
The  above report by a leading Malayalam daily narrate the story of corruption in detail. Opportunity for corruption is created. The vigilance department might have submitted the report to the concerned. No action by the authorities concerned. Corruption is allowed to grow. A petty fee made applicable for transporting tody from one district to another district of Kerala, after  a permit is made compulsory. The fee for the permit is Rs 2/- and the corruption for the transfer is Rs 60/-. If the government abandon this unwanted law the corruption will end there. If the government continue with it can be presumed naturally that the corruption is carried with the knowledge of the concerned authorities. Everyone must know that this corruption is done from the pockets of the poor tody drinkers of the state. It is really a pathetic story. If anyone can find an end to this please do it.

Image
People  who are working on different fronts can be primarily categorised into two groups. One is those working for the sake of work, nothing more than that. The other is those who want satisfac1tion for their doing. Such ones, if do not get satisfaction shall leave the work and move away. The former category shall continue to work until the scope of work is left. Whatever efforts we may put on something, but if it does not fetch any contentment, many of us may not be able to continue with it. Hence contentment is an essential return expected by many who put their efforts for anything. There are another category of people whose ultimate aim is not contentment alone but they find something more by sharing their contentment with the near and dear ones.

Peace is not man made, it is divine. While many ...
