It is TIME!!!

Here I am re-iterating some thoughts thrown at me by someone!

I personally think, it is TIME. Its TIME to say 'enough', its TIME to say 'no' - to injustice, to chalta hai attitude, to corruption. Its TIME to 'speak up'

------------
Winds of Change....

Forward this email to as many people on your contact list as you can; and in
turn ask each of them to do likewise.

In three days, most people in India will have this message.

This is one idea that really should be passed around.

*Reform Act of 2012*

1. No Tenure / No Pension.
Parliamentarians collect a salary while in office but should not
receive any pay when they're out of office.

2.  Parliamentarians should purchase their own retirement plans, just
as all Indians do.

3. Parliamentarians should no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Their pay should be linked to the CPI or 3%, whichever is lower.

4. Parliamentarians should lose their current health care system and
participate in the same health care system as the Indian people.

5. Parliamentarians should equally abide by all laws they impose on
the Indian people.

6. All contracts with past and present Parliamentarians should be void
with immediate effect.

The Indian people did not make this contract with them.
Parliamentarians made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Parliament is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),
then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only
take three days for most people in India to receive the message. Don't
you think it's time?

If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete.

You are one of the 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks.

When you know that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission
from men who produce nothing,
When you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods but
in favours,
When you see that men get rich more easily by graft rather than by work,
and your laws no longer protect you against them but protect them
against you......
you know that your society is doomed

if you feel its TIME, please forward!

Aam Aadmi - The Mango Man....

The recent times have been tough for "the mango man" aka Aam Aadmi. With all the corruptions, Inflation, lay-offs etc that we read all day in the news. Today, news of these kind fill up the news papers. Some one blaming the other for corruption, editors / columnists writing pages on the issues. Government trying to justify inflation, at the same time releasing a survey that a Aam Aadmi earning Rs 32 or more (even a paisa more...) a day can be termed as above poverty line.Lay-offs has become a way in the corporate world. 

All this and more effects only the aam aadmi and no one else. This Aam Aadmi is at the mercy of all and sundry. Employers, Govt., service providers, to the extent that the people whom this aam aadmi trusts in their daily chores of life - viz, dudhwala, autowalla, buswalla, bhajiwalla, fruitwalla and you know who all I am talking about. All these have a unity of voice and when they are not satisfied with any govt decisions, change in regulations, inflation etc, they unite and make their demands heard. They threaten to strike so that (helpless) people like us suffer and the lives come to halt. We are always the targets for everyone. People make people suffer but eventually the helpless bread earner of the house suffers.

Fuel price hikes, autowalla demand hike in price, vegetables become dearer, you ask why? pat the reply - "mahngayee hai sahab...", you pay more for the transport, you pay more for everything that matters. Everybody who has a united voice put the people on tender hooks, on ransom and get their voices heard for which this aam aadmi has to pay. Their income do not increase with relation to the inflation. 

A time has come when we the Mango People need to unite and make our voices heard. Can we actually, NOT pay tax and demand that first our demands be met like, better road, better infrastructure, better life, lower inflation etc etc and then only we shall deposit the taxes? Can we unite & put government on tender hooks this time? Is there a possibility?

I think it is time to raise our voice. UNITE.
