Power Corrupts

I was in school and one of those kids who were always teacher's favourite.
Surely, that thing changed in college. I remember people often turning to me to get a job done as they knew that particular teacher would agree to me.

No, it's not boasting at all. That would have been probably years ago. As far as the present is concern, I don't even recall much of school. But, yes the lessons which must have been learnt then are learned now.
So, was not that favoritism wrong? Well, that time - no it wasn't. I must always be right!! Ya.. that was the same attitude till few days back.
And, all of a sudden- life wanted me to learn something more- something to add on.

So, today - favoritism is not my cup of tea.
When the elections just turned down on Mayawati this year; many of us were happy. But, ofcourse there was this sudden reaction - If they have power, they ought to be corrupt.
True!! Didn't many of us thought the same. Yes! we did.

Power is a mighty word. It creates, it destroys. It makes, it destructs.
The charm of power is that all of us- mind you- all of us are working our ass off to earn it; craving each day to hamper somebody's else life without even realizing that -it is this point the chain starts from. It is this point where every other person keeps acquiring the same properties and starts losing his hope of fair chances in anything he would have ever dreamt of.

The reservations are such a perfect example.
They could have liberalized the money spent on fees, form and books.
But, they preferred liberalizing marks- which was hard earned, must have taken a whole year from those people's life.But, probably cheaper than money. Or else what might be the reason to rate money over hard work?

The last 2year in IT world have made me see this Power and favoritism yet again.
People with hard earned name rarely survive and hard earned buttering capacity always do.
From a promotion to an onsite to a growth stategy--how pathetic does it feel
when you know that you were more deserving and yet someone else walked out with the candy
b'coz he/she is somebody else Eye-Candy.
Well, such is our world. Such is our generation and the most ironic the people aged enough to be included in the older generations are the top management and corrupt everything in and out.

Where are we ending into-- A society where Professionalism is another form of flattery.
They might be your friends or Friends with Benefits- but they have earned and reached a stage where
the other person will take a long time to reach without a GodFather.
Ahh!! Just the typical Bollywood Style.
