What i am writing today is not what i had in mind for a Friday afternoon, i had much pleasant ideas.
But while my train of thought was still boarding its station, i had a rendezvous with the Indian bureaucracy and there.... all thoughts lost and the only thing i could think about was files and clerks.
Bureaucracy in India is as ubiquitous as is God in its Theology. My job requires me to deal with the bureaucrats on a very regular basis and its not just the lethargy that is so discouraging, its the sheer attitude that drives you to the point of frustration.
The people who work there are a moral vacuum, irrespective of how Gross your problem is they would treat it with a noble indifference and apathy. the best part of it is the attitude is so pervasive that everyone from the topmost echelons of power to the peon carries the same disgraceful attitude forward.
Here i am manicuring only the tip of the iceberg, i am not even getting into the other areas which hold it back they are too grim to be dealt with.... i have already started the weekend on a disheartening note and don't want to carry the pessimism for the next two days.
So here i wish you all a very happy weekend !
Alles Liebe

Insightful! However Pareto's Principle works here too! About 20% (perhaps less)of civil servants toil...are bright, sincere & battle it out each day..despite the odds...despite the system! ...hopefully you will meet some of those endangered species soon! :-)
