Satta- Kissa Kursi Ka

Sitting in Air conditioned Lab and getting all the services at ur doorstep and talking about faulty system isn’t the way to get the feeling of system and complain about the same. But then I got the opportunity to get the feel of this system. In fact it’s not for the first time I came across this system. Dad, being a Central Govt. Employee, we have lived that way till date. But things are really different at different levels. But what is common everywhere- corruption and misuse of positions.

All this game is about position. I prefer calling it Kissa Kursi ka.

For my new job, I needed character certificate from Gazetted officer which has to be attested by 1^st class Magistrate, District Magistrate or Sub- divisional Magistrate. Now I wondered how these high authority people will give me character certificate? It should be issued by someone known to me but I don’t know them and vice verse. It should be given by my school/ college Principal who knows me but then that’s how system works. I’ve to run pillars to pillars (rather floor to floor on various offices- Tehsildar, SDM and DM) to get this certificate.

I saw the pathetic state of Govt office where there is no proper guidance and only chaos and crowd. I failed to understand that when we call these IAS officer civil servants, are they actually serving us? We, so called, "the people of India" can change the picture of democracy but can we change this system? Can we change mid-set of that SDM who asked me to go UP to get this certificate? I failed to understand that in spite of coming from the same background what happens when power comes to ur hands? Why the same person doesn’t remain the same now and doesn’t wish to help a genuine person? Its indeed again all about power and position.

Searching DC office and waiting for indefinite time for a signature was really tough but had no other option. Here I realized that common’s man time isn’t of any relevance at all but getting time from these high profile people isn’t easy task. But it was worth waiting as I could get my work done (finally after 6 hours). But I had one more topic of Kursi to learn. There were MLAs who delayed for another hour even after I got seal on my application.

After this experience I’m thinking to join Politics but will it clean this system???????????????????
