Was looking at a senior citizen railway ticket the other day, and below the tiny, computer lettering, which only the TC can understand, were bold letters, not thanking you for traveling by rail and not by air, not welcoming a senior citizen on board, but a line which blatantly asked, ‘ Are you aware that 43% of your fare is borne by the common citizens of the country?’
Which if you ask me, was nothing short of the government burdening a senior citizen with guilt that the discount he had got for his ticket came out of the charity of tax payers!
Hello there sir, you who have envisioned this ‘government guilt trip’ do you know how much of tax payers money was just used in giving voters, freebees, free electricity, free housing, free entries into colleges, schools and jobs?
Are those who used my tax money also told that the job they hold, or the TV set or free laptop they were given was borne by the common citizens of the country?
Or maybe I should speak directly to a farmer, “Hello sir, how are you doing?”
“Well I’m still alive. I haven’t committed suicide, you know what I mean?”
“That means you owe your life to me sir!”
“To you?”
“Yes sir, my money has given you free electricity, free water, and subsidized much of your fertilizers and seeds! So, whenever you see me, please thank me! It’s because of me you live isn’t it?”
But I don’t see the government reminding the farmer about this, nor to those who have got their jobs and college seats through reservations and not merit.
Ah yes merit: So, shouldn’t all those students who became doctors, engineers or who’ve got government jobs through reservations and quota and other means not have a sign put up by government officials outside their clinics or offices saying, “Our medical degree is due to the sacrifice of meritorious students!”?
And what about our dear politicians?
“Mr Karnataka MLA: Are you aware that 100% of the common citizen voters who backed you did so, because you were their representative against the policies of another party? Don’t you feel guilty about betraying your constituents?”
“And you, the party, accepting these betrayers, don’t you feel guilty?”
“Nowe don’t! We are above RTI! We are above guilt! Those guilt trips are yours to bear!”
And so at every railway station, watch old men and women, who’ve served this country well, brought up children through hard work, now, struggling with hardly any income, glancing with guilty eyes at their railway ticket, reeling under a burden of guilt the government has so callouslythrust on them, while they themselves ride guilt free despite their guilt filled activities..!

And as different governments over the years have addressed all the wrong problems in our educational system, I can only liken it to an imaginary minister again focusing on non-issues!
“Minister, we are so happy you have been appointed. We have to do something about our educational system!”
“Yes, yes, I am going to tackle the problem immediately. Bring me the uniforms the children wear to school and also call the tailor!”
"Minister sir, the books have to be revised, they are outdated!"
"A little longer tailor, yes, yes, cover the knees, the ankles and right up to the toes, why not cover the toes also!"
"Children are failing sir!"
"Yes, yes let her wear a salwar under it!"
"The teachers don't know their subject!"
"Use thicker cloth!"
"There are no chairs, no desks, in some places no schools!"
"Lengthen it! The toes can be seen, stretch it more!"
"The children are running to coaching classes!"
"Widen the skirt, you should not see the shape of the ankle!"
"There is cheating and copying during exams sir!"
"Broaden it near the thigh, none should guess there is a leg inside!"
"There are no text books, and the ones that are there have only blank pages inside as the printer wasn't paid by your department!"
"Pull it higher up to cover the waist! That's it, good!"
"Children are still learning things by heart instead of understanding the subject!"
"Now let’s start with the boys pant!"
"Nobody knows English in schools sir!"
"Double the pant piece! Use more cloth!"
"The fourth standard students don't know their alphabets!"
"No crease in the front!"
"The fifth standard students know no arithmetic!"
"Too tight behind!"
"The eighth class student can't write a sentence sir!"
"Thick baggy pants for first standard boys!"
"The tenth standard children are using crayons!"
"Thick baggy pants for the fifth standard boys and for the sixth and seventh and eighth.."
"All children failed their SSC sir!"
"And for the ninth and tenth also!"
The minister looked at the long skirt and baggy pants which the tailor held out for him, his eyes gleamed with satisfaction, “We will be known throughout the world for the best educational system in any country!" he said proudly.

Many of us apply the concealer in a semi-circular pattern to reduce the puffiness under our eyes. However the best way to apply the concealer is in a conical pattern under the eyes.
Do not keep your hair long if you cannot maintain it. Your hairstyle must suit the shape of your face as well.
Nothing looks better than a healthy and glowing skin.
Mix you moisturiser and skin Illuminator together and apply it to get an effect of a glowing skin.
Monthly visit to your parlour is a must in order to look well groomed and maintained.
Minimal care of your skin like getting your upper lips done, regular waxing, getting your eyebrows are few in the must to do list.
As said your haircut needs to compliment the shape of your face. Remember your haircut can transform your personality completely and thus
It is advisable to regularly get your hair trimmed to avoid split ends and other hair woes.
Clothes: Wearing clothes that fit well will make you look better and confident. Always choose well fitted clothes and colour that suits your personality.
CHOICE OF SHOES CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOUR ENTIRE LOOK. Choose your shoes wisely to look polished and make an impact on others.
