When I thought of job options while studying at school, the most suitable thing seemed to be working as engineer after getting into an IIT institute. Now when I see it's the money that matters in real life, my mind was filled up with different ideas. I could do B.Sc. and get a PhD degree to become a professor in some college. Another option was to do a course in mass communication and become news reporter, this was the thing I was most interested in. But then, another plan, rather a crazy idea came up.
We are getting into business gradually, and the construction of our new petrol ⛽ pump started at full pace last month. But while observing the process of opening it, in last 3-4 years, I was left a bit frustrated. My mother owns it, and day-night my father struggled hard to make this dream come true. One must be thinking what could be the difficulties, if read the legal procedure. Okay, so first of all the plot had to be diverted. An electricity pole came right near the location so it had to be moved. Then electricity connection and water pipeline and all had to be set up, and several other procedures had to be finished, some without my knowledge. The problem was, all papers had to be signed by one or the other government officials. A conversation with a friend :
Samarth - So what are your plans?
Me - I'm thinking of becoming a politician or government official.
Samarth - Are you serious?
Me - Yeah, they take lakhs for signing a single document.
Samarth - We call it corruption.
Why did the idea came to me, the idea of getting money through such means. Well, I'm not supporting corruption in any way, I'm just a child, we learn what we see. The process of dealing this way became so frequent in the whole process that it seemed quite normal to me. My parents ignored all this as much as possible and managed to get their work done legally.
Recently the movie 'Gabbar' was released and after watching it, I dropped all my evil plans immediately. But no one stands against corruption in reality, isn't it? Hope not to experience such things again, cause young minds get easily inspired.
