Plumbing the depths

Corruption and scams

Headline the day

How low can the values dip?

The addiction to wealth and power

Has degraded the ladder

Once used to reach heights of excellence.

Change is inevitable. Yes.

But whether it is progress

Or otherwise, only time will tell.

I don’t wish to live and say

I told you so.

    Was just discussing with a co-worker today. What do we sacrifice? Hard honest work is one thing.

    A 55 that makes you think.

    I've had so many friends who have been deceived and suffered the consequences of unscrupulous businesses, losing thousands of dollars. It is so sad to see their hard earned dollars go for naught!

    Very poignant 55, Deepak.

    All too true. Sometimes it's good to be old and know there's only so much longer you'll have to watch things spiraling down the drain.

    I agree with Purba on that score. but let's hope that this generation of youngsters rises above it and leads the country out of the dark ages.
