Honesty. Is honesty a virtue or is it a part of humans, as natural as breathing?

Whatever we shirk is called an ideal by the society.

But nothing has changed, I feel.

We have perfected the act of blaming others, the stock of politicians was always low- so we find it easier to be indignant at the politician.

It leaves the general public free from any responsibility, which we have always shirked.

On December 2 Times of India front page, there is a photo of Balasaheb Borkar who travelled by train to CST with his licensed revolver. He went through the metal detectors placed at different exit and entry points. Not once was he questioned by the police. When he asked the police why he was not detected, he got the reply that the police could not hear the beeps from the metal detector.

And today comes the shocking news in the same paper that one week after the outrage, railway police have recovered a 8.5 kg RDX bomb kept by the terrorists in the parcel room. It seems the police have not bothered to ‘sanitise’ the CST.

The politicians can only give a sense of direction- they have appallingly failed at that. But is there nothing the public can do?

People have to realize their responsibility. Even with the best kind of leadership, there is nothing much we can do when there is this kind of take-it-easy-slackness.
