Yesterday,I got to file my income tax returns.Kudos to the IT department , they had put up a real good show in place.Evrything was good...the help-desk, service, seating arrangement, food stalls, aeration et all...
Whilst the IT department is making things work at the employee level, puppeting the business class to pay taxes has been far from reach .Who would bell the fattened cats??I m playing an inquisitive on-looker here :-)

"Who would bell the fattened cats??" - Nice question. In India, I will say only one person who can do it and who is doing it. He is in the position of chief commander. He has full authority over things & he is all powerful. He is the deciding authority. But he is a bit lazy and lost focus. At times he looks as if he is least bothered about the society. He is trying very hard to come out of it. I see him frequently participating in all the debate shows aired on TVs. Now-a-days he is also expressing his views wherever possible. If you are very curious to know his name, he is standing there between the alphabets “U” and “W”.
The only thing he need is the guidance. So first word of your question can be rearranged to “How”.
"HOW?" : (below is something which i posted in another blog...found the topic to be similar more or less...so posting it here too).
Unity in Diversity...that is what is needed right at this moment...when u look at this very deeply...u can see these kind of problems are more in the big cities...eg., chennai...read somewhere that thousands of people move to chennai from various districts for their livelihood...they live in different parts of the city...they are not united...its not only the fear against the rowdy group but also the inbuilt fear against all the fellow citizens, neighbours, etc., everyone is scared of every other one..these rowdies take this as an advantage…these rowdies form a group for a wrong cause…but whereas the working class do not form a group for a right cause…on the other hand when u see in the villages….they live in communities and they represent them as a whole…they know each other and they get involved in each others problems (perfect example is "Siruthuli" in Kovai)…it is very easy to say that people should come out of this problem…but as u know all the greatest things done starts from a single step…that single step is very important…everywhere represent urself as a group…form groups for right cause…that’s not easy…but that is very much achievable…..we feel our duty is over as soon as we cast our vote…but participating in election is also very important……a group of software professionals can take up an assignment of educating a village on their rights and help them chose the right candidate (when u r in a group, the chances of getting attacked is very less)….a group of professionals working in a call centre can dedicate some time of theirs in organizing the ques in public places…..a group can stage a procession against the corruption… iam not saying that u will have to leave ur job do social work….its just what u can do on ur spare time….a group of four will spend more than four hours in a coffee pub doing nothing but chatting….if we want our surrounding to be clean, we need to put minimum effort…the change should start from us……first form groups for a noble cause…as told in “anniyan” chinna chinna alatchiyum nikkanumna we should act first……otherwise we can always choose to write and discuss/curse abt this and prove that we are conscious….my words may be too harsh….but I have read abt these stuffs very much and could see not much has happened so far...its not the awareness that is required now.. (we all know everything....its the action that is need of the hour...
"Knowledge is useless.....unless it helps the society atleast in a small way" - told by a great philosopher (none other than me).....:-)
nullity,
you sure have good thoughts to share.
Like you said , "Saying is not doing".
