Curbing corruption !!! Myth or reality ???

Two major Government came to power on the issues of corruption recently in India's political history. Although other states saw power being changed to parties who promised to curb corruption. But one question lies, can it be really done ?

There are many reasons that fuels corruption. Let's first see the side from general public. Then we will move to corrupt Govt employees ( as it is a general notion among people).

So how is general public responsible for corruption you may ask. Remember the employees who are working were too general public before occupying the seat.

And next comes a message being spread all over messaging platform. A person gives TT bribe for a seat, then discussing corruption in the compartment. Just to avoid let's say fine RS 100 he gave RS 50 as bribe. It is the mindset of people. No one would agree, but even me did the same.

What else, a student belonging to SC/ST to get stipend by the Govt, he bribes someone for a fake income certificate (I don't know what's it Called exactly). Then he gets the stipend and of course enjoys the money. So let's call he bribed Rs 200 to someone and incurred a loss of Rs 20000 per semester. Wow, kids are growing with corruption. Hmm nice.

Now comes Govt scheme like our Indira Awas yojana. I don't know the eligibility, but I think a super poor is eligible to get it. But everyone knows who get it. OK, in the crowd of all corrupted, some people who really require it also gets. But at what cost ? He has to pay a bribe of Around Rs 3k for first installment. This is the ground reality. Now you may say, the money comes from Govt Directly to bank account. But a person is involved to pass the cheques to bank officials so that they can credit the amount to account. Without bribe, they don't pass cheques to bank. Now Who is responsible ? You may think, There may be a solution, the amount would come directly from Govt to beneficiary. But remember, the person who was passing the cheques will be responsible for identifying the beneficiary.

And much more examples of corruption exists in offices. Even if the senior officer is honest or the junior too, there are other people who influence things in office.

Why does a Govt officials take bribes 😵 ? Let's take example of a junior clerk joining job newly. What is his basic. 7200 + 100% DA + 10% HRA + other allwonces. With a grade pay of 2700 I think. And basic changes from year to year 😷
Still they need to extract money from people. Why ??? It is just the example of one employee, there are higher pay for higher officials. Some extract from public, some from companies for their lease agreement or passing things quickly.

While being kids, we were being taught at home, school, private coaching to stay honest, punctual , we were given examples of pneople who were honest. Although now-a-days, all of above mentioned institutions just want us to read as an ass (read donkey), and score good marks.

But what does change in span of some years. Its being said, what we learn as a kid, it stays forever. Of course we remember A B C D
......Z and 1,2,3.....0 . But what about the morals we were taught, how can people forget these ?

In one of his speeches, our beloved PM Narendra Modi said, "unko dar rahega na Modi ka, kaise WO corruption karenge ?" But it might last for 5 or say 10 years. But what comes next when he is gone ?

We have to make an habit of saying No to Corruption. Can we do it as an employee, as a general public, as a law enforcer, as a people elected representative ???

As a kid I have heard, Japan was poor than us when we got independence, but see them see us.

Are our next generation going to listen to this same lines while growing up and planning to settle somewhere around the globe leaving their home.

As our father Gandhi said,
"Be the change you want to see in world. "

Waiving Child labour, reality or just in paper.

Hey readers, I know you have came across thousand of article about child labour. But one fact can never be denied that, in pen n paper it has become possible.

I am not saying waiving child labour system is impossible, but are the rule makers and civic society ready to implement it on ground level. Some would say, yes the system has been stopped in a great way. In reality, everyone knows that's not true.

But where is the problem. We have systems and NGOs who are hitting trumpet the have changed it.

Whenever you go to such a child, he or his parents would have a simple answer. OK we ll not send him to work, but who will feed his/her empty stomach. Oops, I forgot we have mid day meal scheme. So is it enough to give them breakfast and meals. What about the dinner. OK let's think, their parents should give it. KUDOS we have solved a big problem. We waived 100% child labour. Really !!!

OK now they are going to school, learning some stuffs. But what would they do once they come out of school. If u visit a rural area, and ask a kid to write his own name, they write it by difficulty. But where is the problem. We have given them food, education, and now they can't write their own name. Now comes most tricky part. What would they do when they exit school. No doubt, some 10 out of 100 kids do well in education and go for higher studies. Thanks to their parents teachers who have made them eligible for so.

Now let's talk about rest 90. What are they gonna do after school. Go to some workshop or somewhere they find a way to make their living. But what do they know. Those workshop/hotels have some well trained folks who are working and of course earning well than what a normal graduate could earn. So who is gonna keep them for work.

What I missed in above context is, family planning. Only a few people have the idea. Others just bang and produce whatever they can. Now after producing children, they realize that, they need to feed them. But u know, those people have less earning with which they could barely feel their empty stomach. So they have simple solution for these problems. Send them to work in a hotel to wash, or workshop to do minor helping works(later they turn out to be good mechanics of course). And some send kids to beg. Oh shit. What did I tell. Its reality.

I still can't figure out a perfect solution for waiving this system. But simple things might solve them. Educate those kids with real life things along with regular course, so that they can later make their living by what they r taught.

Educate those poor people about family planning, so that they produce 1-2 children whom they can take good care.

I don't know whether I focused my points all over. Let's hope for a better future for those kids.

What should I write now ???

Hi friends,
I don't know what to write right now. But something will come in a day or two. Anything that will be penned down here will be an interesting one. so keep up. Have a fun filled life

Now die peacefully with #Google

Hello friends,
Once I had gone with a friend to one person. Actually he was working as a Insurance Agent. So while trying to convince the person to buy an insurance, he said something like this, "If you die sir, your family will insured". Something like this. But this  is not the context of this post.

Now coming into the post context, "Google gives you an option to die peacefully".

You might be surprised why die peacefully? Who would someone want to die soon ? But what if while travelling, the plane / train / bus /car or might be your beloved bike, you might face accident and die there. But just imagine, what would happen when you leave this earth with all your emails, photos, and everything in Google.

I don't know whether you have found it or not, but Google gives an alternate way to give your account credential to your loved one or trusted one (Sometime you can't  just trust your loved one or may be you have some extra affair which your loved one should never know). Or just in case You might want all that data to be deleted so that no-one can misuse your emails / details / images or whatever you have associated with your Google account.

OK, a question arises. How to do it ? I have answers for your questions.

1. Login into your Google Account. You might want to get the link. https://accounts.google.com/
2. You will get a page like this. But you have more 2 steps to go.
3. Click on "Data tools" link. Or click on this  link.https://www.google.com/settings/datatools
4. You will see INACTIVE ACCOUNT MANAGER. Click on Set up Inactive Account Manager.

Now you have to provide some details. i.e. Your email address, mobile number on which you want to be  notified before any actions taken on your account. I am showing this  step by step so that you don't have any problems while doing this.

Step - 1

Click on "Add mobile phone number". You will get an pop-up screen like this. Just provide the phone number and click on "Send Verification Code". You will get a code on your phone number and type in the box and click on "Confirm". If you have entered the correct code, then the number will be verified and the pop-up will be closed.

Step - 2

If you want to add another email, follow these steps. Or simply go to Step - 3.

Step - 3

This  step asks you about the time period for which your account should be shared with someone or Deleted from Google Server.

Select a specified time period from the list.

Step - 4

Now comes an important step, you should be cautious while doing this. (You might reveal some dark truths.. ha ha).

OK. If you want your details to be shared, follow this step. Else move on.

• click on "Add Trusted Contact". 
• Now you will see a box asking "E-mail address or Contact Name".  Just enter the email of person. And tick the check box quoting "Share My data with this contact". And click on "Next".
• Now select the products which can be accessed by the trusted contact. You might "SELECT ALL" if you want.
• One important part is giving contact details (Phone number ) of that contact for verification purpose at a later stage. And then click on Next.
• A new box will appear. Enter some boring text or important like farewell messages just to scare him /her.
• If you want to add another Trusted Contact just follow the above steps again.
• Next step comes Set auto-response in Gmail. This is just like you set vacation mail in Gmail setting. (You are on permanent vacation, might be).

Step - 5

Optionally Delete Your Account.

I think this is the part most people will like. As no one wants their secrets to be revealed.

So, to do this just click on the red Button with "Yes". If you see No with grey background, then you are done.

All steps are complete. Now just click on "Enable" button at the end of page. And ta-da, you are done. 

Thanks for Reading this blog. If you like it, spread the word buddy. Others should have idea too.

For security reasons, Always enable 2-steps verification on Google.

P.S. You have complete control over your account until you are alive or forgot everything like Password, your answer to secret question. Then you are like dead anyway. So keep them handy always. And add your phone number to account setting to Retrieve Password in case you forget the password.

It might be noted that, all images shown here are purely Google products. I have nothing to do with them.

Happy friendship day

Why should you have Ad Block Plus on your browser ?

Hi friends,
You must have heard of ad block plus for browsers and also android. Well if you don't know, it is a great tool for browsing internet without ads. Don't mistake it as a browser. It is just a plug-in which blocks almost all type of ads.

I have been referring this to my friends as it feels great to browse without any ads. But one of my friends asked me, "why should He use this."

OK, The pictures below will tell why should you be using ad block plus for your browser.

This is the snapshot of an article on TIMES OF INDIA browsed without ad block plus.

Same page with Ad block plus installed 

You can see no ads here on this snapshot.

I think you can understand the difference.

If you want to download Ad block plus, click here

The same has application for android too. But the problem is it blocks ad when you are connected through your mobile network. So keep rocking and browse internet without ads.

See you soon.

http://lifehacker.com/5833597/downloadcom-adds-opt+out-bloatware-to-software-installers

Ok, nations toolbar was one of the craps came to my PC while installing software from CNET installer. It installed nations toolbar to all of my browsers. I removed from all other browsers, i.e. Firefox and IE. But I was stuck on chrome. 

It is very simple yet no one will think of that option. It installs a extension in chrome, so even after setting Google as your default search engine, it will keep searching in nations only. So uninstall it from extension gallery and you are done.

Take care fellas. See you soon.
