Jeebon indrojaler bibhido mudra dekhe
Hotobak holam
Jege chilam, shedin sojag holam
Tumi chile pashe –
Tomar montai khanik hijibiji chobi e(n)ke
Stobdho hoye roilam
- Tumi dheer, gambhir
Tobu asha nirashar godhulite
rokteem ek swapner sporsho pelam
Shudhu mele dhora tomar aakankhabhora aanjali dekhe
Shedin khubdho r shonkito holam
Tomar anunoy erate parini shedin
Tai nibhite nirjone, Ningre dilam indriyo gulo,
Abluptir majhe bujhi pelam amar thikana
Du- pho(n)ta bhalobasha diye lekha…

CTRL+ALT+DEL corruption
Concepts like 'freedom', 'choice' are
(i) very individualistic AND hence relative,
(ii) with shifting priorities and competing choices they alter over time
(iii) they cannot be absolute, for forces of governance, civil-society, market and media act and react at an individual and collective level for sub-sets of populations to experience 'freedom'/'choices'.
Thus the dividing line between corruption and anti-corruption is not just thin and sensitive, but mostly marked with a lens of convenience. It’s also philosophized and justified as "a bit of lie for a bigger good is fair enough" and taking it even further stretching to tickle our mortal and moral quotient by saying "beyond these there is an after-world, wherein the mathematics of good and bad, right and wrong are seemingly clearer, so better be-ware'.
Well, public-good vs private benefit, if that is the indicator to draw that line, with corruption being endemic one wonders where to begin from, and whom to end with.... Weeding it out bit by bit or ensuring mechanisms to wean the system, too domesticated to the 'itna to chalta hai ji' strategy, or insulating our selves apathetically from large-scale scams, while continuing with the small scale ones?
Moral-policing of self might be the first step to CONTROL greed and desirous expectations), ALTER(the ways/means to reach/achieve)the goals and finally DELETE malices and malpractices- corruption in thoughts and practice...WHAT SAY ???

falgudhara
Premer ek gobheer ashwad, aaborno swapnaguloke rangiye tulechilo,
Asharer meghe shedin bujhi jouboner baan uthechilo-
Unmotto mon, naki churno kuntol ...naki rondhe rondhe ek ojana spandan?
Hatre berai ek swapnil oboyober, naki tora bandhe kichu jhore pora swapner?
...E klanti noi, bibranti noi...srantir shupti matro.....
