My Contemplation

"Rules are made to be broken" - That is what we all believe in. Of course some rules are to be broken while some are to be followed. No one can always be right not even the rule maker. After all we leave in a democratic country and we have to make our own rules and regulations and we have all rights either to follow those rules or just keep it aside and let it be on a paper.

While we make rules and regulations we also have to focus on its implementation. Yes, while we make any rules the most important thing is to focus on its implementation. Today government comes with lots of rules and regulations but how many are actually followed. Recently I read in a newspaper, government in our city came up with a regulation in which if any one will be caught spitting on the road they will have to pay Rs. 1000 as punishment fee. But no where it was mentioned about who will regulate this? Who will be the accountable for it? Who will observe it and when? This is where India lacks,  implementing it physically rather than keeping it on paper.

Blaming government completely for all these is not fair. Because we all some or other way are responsible for these. In one speech on Independence day one of the top notch MBA college's director said one simple thing which i would like to repeat over here. She said "If every individual in India understands their own responsibilities and be accountable for it, India will be free from most of their problems and would achieve the highest possible growth."  If I take the above example every individual should understand that workers of municipal corporation every night give up their sleep and clean roads to make it walkable for us. People without any hesitation spit on roads not even realizing what they are up to.

Many times Government have taken suitable steps to define some regulations and implement. But you cannot expect government to observe all 24x7 every individual whether we are following them or not. We should take a step forward and realize the importance of those regulations and be accountable for it. If we observe thoroughly how many of us follows traffic rules? I do agree every time you don't have to stop on traffic signal at least at the point when signal is not working. But we should at least make sure that when ever we stop, we stop behind zebra mark. While we are walking on road we make sure when to cross and when to not. Tie a seat belt even if we go a kilometer far and wears a helmet at least a front runner should wear a helmet.

It is not compulsory to follow all the rules but we should realize and make a point to prioritize those rules and make at least 50% of them compulsory. Imagine if every one starts following 50% of all the regulations it will be easier for all of us to move freely out in India. Police will be lenient with people because they will observe the difference. We and authorities will be able to think and focus on other major issues rather than running behind each of us for such small matters.

Taking up our own responsibilities can make a big difference in India. It just about understanding right and wrong, prioritize important things and make sure to follow it till end. At least if every educated people can be responsible and realize the importance of our education, it will create a big difference because in our educational curriculum we all learn all do's and don'ts.
