Ram Gopal Varma’s latest film ‘Contact’ that shares its plot with the Ahmedabad blasts, opens with the quote, ‘you may ignore terrorism but terrorism won’t ignore you’. Yes, isn’t that what our attitude is! As long as we know it is not harming any of our near and dear ones, do we really ever care? Not only do we listen to the news with a lazy ear but also continue with our reckless ways. Oh c’mon, who are we kidding here? We are responsible for spreading terrorism. Don’t we always like to play truant with the law? Get passports made by bribing whoever it is that finds information conflicting your interests? Don’t we lie to the law with a straight face? Have we forgotten all about the unlicensed cars? I mean this is not the entire list of ways how we play with the law in our country; if I tried giving every detail I may probably exhaust at least ten 10 blog posts. Little do we realise that our playing hide and seek with rules laid by the law enforcing bodies in our country spell danger for US!

See laws are there to provide obstacles to illegal activities. But our encouragement of thuggishness proves to be a magic wand for terrorists. They can get away with their misdeeds because we do not help the police and other law enforcing bodies to maintain a safe, abiding by the law environment. Are we anywhere close to getting there?

It may be a good sign for those of us concerned about the big brain drain and indeed a great example for the coming generations. Yes you heard it right, the IIMs were not really lured by offers abroad this year thereby marking a huge shift in their social consciousness, though I don’t mean there wasn’t any before it is just that it has never been so central to the agenda of the students. Many regard the salaries being offered as a deciding factor. For instance the slow world economy has not dampened the spirits of the domestic companies who have gone out there with a hike of 30 percent in the moolah while foreign companies have upped the last year’s salaries by a mere 3 percent. Another thing that has come to notice is the fact that IIM students have become extremely picky about the job profiles, to the extent that they are accepting less salaried offers if the job profile is good.

In other words, IIM graduates have become GLOCAL they think global but remain local which apparently is the mantra for a reputed Japanese university and we all know how the progress chart of the Japanese looks like. How else do you explain Neela Nageshwar Vittal’s refusal to a salary of Rs. 1.44 crore only to open a processing unit for medicinal plants. Yeah, the Indian future does seem bright…very bright!
