Laptop down - shifting to Kububtu on my unused desktop!

Think and research very carefully before you buy HP laptops!

There's an entire series for which HP has disowned from accepting the horrifying flaws inherent in them.

My laptop is just one among so many that faced the problem of overheating - this resulted in problems that require repeated fixes and will continue after your warranty period when the cost will be completely borne by you!

See the following thread at the HP forum:

What is wrong with our system?

Why are we satisfied if the Chief Minister, his Dpty, or even the Prime Minister resigns?

They'll be replaced by someone else who will do the same thing!

Have you ever thought about why are we stuck with the same Police system that was left behind by the British? The talk of police reform has been going on for so many years but because politicians want to continue controlling them, this will never happen!
On the other hand, if Manmohan Singh wanted, he could change the law so that, for example, all Government Employees are actually responsible and could lose their jobs if they are not so.
But he is just like us and does not see any passion in the masses for a change!

It's not just about the terrorists attacking. We are completely submerged in complacency. Yes we may want to blame someone but then we want to get back to our usual life.

Unless you want the same things - the same system, to continue and pass on to our children, we have to change it. Because a system that is corrupt is flawed. We already know that. So why are we not improving this system right away instead of building on it?

And changing the system means we have to have the right people in Government.
And for that either we have to convince the existing government or vote in a government that is willing to unite India instead of dividing us.
We shouldnt be satisfied with a manifesto promising 24hrs power or a new park or reservation! We want a manifesto promising that the system will be changed!

Don't look around expecting someone else to do this. Each and every one of us have to participate in changing our country with action:

1) Always ensure you vote.
2) Never be a part of corruption.
3) Use RTI to expose corruption.

More ideas and actions need to follow...
