Will this ever improve?

I feel like reacting violently to some of the unfair situations which occur around me. But is it something rare? Am I the only one or are there some more people like me who can’t stand the injustice and can’t do anything due to the fact that the system is like that?

I am a writer in Kannada. I have tried to put some sentences, situations which call for someone to take up at least some amount of scavenging.

In fact, I have thought of writing a full time Utopian novel on these situations. Why I call it Utopian? It is because the solution what I propose will never happen with the present setup.

Take for example what happened the other day in one of the Nationalised Banks. On a Saturday, My son was trying to get a PIN number for bank transaction through internet. I was watching him moving from pillar to post. I asked my son what was the problem. There was this man sitting in front of the Manager. He came to the door and told my son come on Monday.

That was the moment I blew my top. My voice rose without my knowledge. Are you playing? My son goes to work between 8 am and 11 pm on weekdays. Except Saturday, he is not able to come on other days. And you expect him to come on Monday?

The madam, who was sending my son the manager (and the manager was sending him to the madam all this time), rose and came in a hurry to the manager’s cabin to pick some paper which was to be given to my son.

The manager also exclaimed, ‘Why don’t you keep this with you? Otherwise, people start coming to me’. This made me raise my voice again. ‘Why are you sitting there? If your staff does not give us what we want and on time, I will come to you’.

I could see a lot of heads nodding with approval. The best was my son’s reaction. He was very much against me talking loudly to the officials in many places. Well, it was not his job then. Now, when he was cornered, he welcomed my action. He said, ‘These government people deserve this type of treatment’.

No ... no, I hate this. Why can’t people do their jobs without someone poking at them? Especially, when they are sitting in a place where they are called public servants.

Sad state of affairs!
