Like someone said here you are not alone. <br /><br />I live in Bangalore and have grown up here and lived overseas for about 10 years. Much like you I don't take crap and expect civil behavior like standing in the Q. I have told many people off and most of them back away. Including the one's peeing on the wall or littering the place.<br /><br />I recently had an experience while entering the lift in Garuda mall with my family. There were 3 girls trying to squeeze in ahead of us and I just put my hand across blocked their access and let my wife and kids go through first. Of course they were pissed off and were muttering something in a regional language I could not understand, except the word " attitude" which obviously meant I had attitude. I told those arrogant girls off again while in the lift in plain english and said that they need to learn some manners. <br /><br />So I can relate with what you say. Keep fighting bro, India needs smart passionate people like you. And as for the idiots who comment here, fight them too. <br /><br />AjitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-75132484556464194192010-03-30T12:35:35.722+05:302010-03-30T12:35:35.722+05:30This is excellent Sujai.

"THE Mr. Sanjay" was one of them. <br /><br />This blog incident show the reason why India is still not developed , even after having lots of money and education. Whenever some guy comes up with a good intention to change the things for making it good and better, these so called "THE Mr.Sanjay" kind of guy stop him. <br /><br />That is the BLOODY problem which we are not able to solve.remuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053342645249034819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-82008913951506515102008-07-30T21:34:00.000+05:302008-07-30T21:34:00.000+05:30All I want to say is both of us are not alone!

I'm sitting here on the other side of the globe - People protest if something is wrong. They don fear to sue the person. Its just that we as Indians don use it - We don protest. I would blame you that you don protest and you would blame another person and he would blame someone else. Its just the blame game that keeps going along among Indians. No one things - Fine I'll change something. Nothing begins with an entire group starting to fight against something wrong - It always starts with 1 person...!!

I go around him and he gives me the finger and mouths a couple of bad words through the window. I blow him a kiss. He gives me the finger again with even more ferocity and some more dirty mouth-mime. <BR/><BR/>We get stopped at the next light, side by side and he rolls down his window. I roll down mine. He is a well-groomed, professional looking guy in his 40s. Could have been a lawyer or a doctor or a dad or a teacher. He was driving a newish, nice looking mid-size SUV. "F*&% you," he says, "You think that you can just pull out into traffic with that Volvo like an a**hole." <BR/><BR/>Those words didn't make a lot of sense to me, but he probably didn't anticipate having to face me at the stoplight and couldn't think of anything else to say. <BR/><BR/>I hadn't done anything wrong, and I knew it. He knew it too."You should write a driving manual," I say. "A**hole," he repeats. I say, "You know, life will go a lot more smoothly for you if you treat other people with love and kindness instead of anger and hate."<BR/><BR/>Without skipping a beat, but with a noticeable change in tone, he says, "You're right. You really are. I apologize. I'm sorry."<BR/><BR/>With that the windows go up, the light turns green, and we pull away. <BR/><BR/>My blood was pumping from the encounter. I was jolted by the encounter, but couldn't tell if it was the fact that someone would treat me so badly for absolutely no reason or if it was my complete surprised when my words had such a direct and powerful effect on him. Those words just came out of me, naturally, and without thought or planning or with the goal of teaching this guy the error of his ways. Those words just came out. <BR/><BR/>Later on, after my workout, I wondered who had taught who a lesson there at that stoplight. Had I taught him in that tiny instant that love and kindness were more powerful than hate and anger? Or had he taught me that lesson? The answer, of course is that we taught each other that lesson. <BR/><BR/>So it is true, just like they say in the books and tapes: treat the good person with kindness and the bad person with kindness, because your essential nature IS kindness.<BR/><BR/>You are the other person. You are consciousness.Buddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001866169072136883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-42454775334154632822007-10-30T19:40:00.000+05:302007-10-30T19:40:00.000+05:30Here are some stories that make my day - http://ww...Here are some stories that make my day - http://www.helpothers.org<BR/><BR/>After reading your stories that made me sad I went and read some of these other stories.<BR/><BR/>I thought of these really inspiring stories - one of them is here -<BR/><BR/>In fourth grade we were supposed to bring in a dime for a folder to use in class. My parents were divorced and money was in short supply. Watching my mom fend off creditors, I did not have the nerve to ask her for a dime. When I got to school, I really wish I had asked my mother for the dime because everybody else in class had the dime ready on their desk for the teacher. I was embarrassed and felt silly. <BR/><BR/>Somehow, A girl named Karen, sitting next to me, saw my personal suffering and waited until the last second to put a dime on the corner of my desk. Even though I never said a word, she saw my quiet anguish and only wanted to relieve it. She said nothing and I was too embarrassed to say thank you. It was the most genuine, authentic act of kindness I've ever experienced.Buddhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16001866169072136883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-23755647808413018812007-04-02T05:08:00.000+05:302007-04-02T05:08:00.000+05:30Good one.....I had a similar situation at hyderaba...Good one.....<BR/>I had a similar situation at hyderabad airport...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21825668.post-67770572007317758872006-12-27T14:50:00.000+05:302006-12-27T14:50:00.000+05:30Too good sir.

There are good things about that country and there are bad things about that country. While I was there I almost became a part of that society but there was a vaccum- couldn't describe it. There was one sentence that would ring in me- which kept my hopes up- someone said - "It may be raining spears and daggers at home, and pearls and diamonds in the foreign land, its still better to be home".<BR/><BR/>Right now, I am back home, and no matter what they say- I do my best not to say- "Chalta Hain!". I keep my fight up- for what use? I don't know. That fight in some way culminated in starting a telecom company here in Bangalore. <BR/><BR/>I guess it works different for different people. My wife is ready to say "Chalta Hain!" almost all the time and she is happy. It works for her! :) <BR/><BR/>I am not sure it works for me- because it causes lot of agitation in me.Sujaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539694685428659940noreply@blogger.com
