Blame Game - Indians are good at it

Indians Seems to be in a habit of playing the blame game and not taking the responsibility.

I was having a discussion with a very close friend of mine when this topic cropped up.

We were discussing how Great Lakes has been able to develop a brand for itself in such a short time, when he told about some of our batchmates still feeling that the placement team of 2007 didnt do the best in terms of placing the students. Lots of people shout that Great Lakes as a brand is still not good and keep blaming someone or the other - but they dont stand up and do something to improve the brand. The discussion then moved on how we spit on roads and then while moving around shout - "India is damn dirty". Lot amongst us, including me, keep changing lanes whie driving and even at times come from the wrong side and then when we find some one else doing it - "Indians are bloody illiterates, just dont have senses". When we find politicians continue filling their buckets when others are left thirsty, we shout about their being corrupted but - "We dont go and join Politics, but chose lucurative jobs in MNCs".

All in all there are so many instances when we do shout and blame, but deep inside we have been doing similar things and if not similar things we havent played our part in improving the situation atleast.

"Passing the monkey from our backs", thats what we have been doing. Its time to wake up
