It's this mentality that's hurting India as a nation the most. People almost seem to think that the laws are meant to be broken. Why can't we determine that we shall follow the laws instead of trying to see how to break them? There are so many simple ones which don't cost you a dime to follow: Never cross the railway tracks, always follow the traffic signals, do not spit or litter in public places. Do you think if you followed these laws, people would kill you?

Saturday I was watching the epic Gandhi on TV. What amazes me is the determination of the person to fight back without resorting to any violent means. If he could do that in the oppressive British regime, how difficult is it to do it today?
