Q) What is a vicious circle ? Give an example for it. (100 marks)
Ans. Vicious circle is a phrase. It is generally used when we observe a lot of bad things happenings or a lot of inconvenience is suddenly caused to us. When we try to find a cause, we realize one thing leads to other and ultimately it returns to the original problem. Thus creating a vicious cycle or circle.
Example you ask? In our country there is no dearth for example on vicious circles.
Case in point. The recent demolition drive on illegal structures in Mumbai and Delhi. Being a civil engineer I completely understand the inconvenience caused by illegal structures to society in general. And they need to be removed. But just how corruption is rampant in our society can be shown with this example of the vicious circle.
Public:
They want to make houses. No plan. Some have money,some take loan. Then what ? Go to the real estate agent, look for a property and buy it. I like it, I got the cash and finally I got the building. Some realize that piece of land is not for residential or commercial purposes, So what ? Simple. Take out more cash, and the formalities get completed in a jiffy. And 'HAMARA SUNDAR GHARONDA' is ready.
Government officers:
Always ready for additional resources (for the uninitiated, to be understood as bribe). So what if this is illegal? This is cash (yummy !!). Back then no hidden cams or sting operations, so no fear. They give me cash, I make them happy. It is a pure cause and effect relationship. Bribe goes to highest levels of the concerned department. But who gives a damn ?
Government at the state:
Know what all is going on. But as a pure HINDUSTANI, no reaction. 'chalta hai' policy at its best. But no action. Why to lose our vote bank ? So what if it is illegal. If they have no problem why should we ? (typical government attitude, to be expected even after hundred years !!)
Supreme court:
Last resort of the common man. Issues ruling in favor of the public. Illegal structures to be demolished. No two ways about that.
Losers:
1) Public, for their lackadaisal attitude. They should have researched properly. No excuses for that. You paid the bribe. You should be ready for the consequences.
2) Government officers, Should have known 'All good things must come to an end'. You put the finger in the pie now you burnt it. Expect a lot of court cases now (yummy !!)
3) Government at the centre, I am not coming to power next time.
See now ? All put blames on one another. Government is corrupt. But are we not too for assisting them ? And if you are not corrupt then you are a fool. You should know how to build a house better. Perfect example of hand in glove act and vicious circle.
End result :
General Public are big losers !! They suck !!
Wow !! I got full hundred on hundred
(Pssst......Ma'am don't tell anyone I paid you a hundred to give me these marks.)

When I saw the entire list of all that you have written so far, I wondered where to start? The answer was clear.. start from the start!! And honestly, I am glad that I visited your blog. You not only write well, your manner of writing is as if you are sitting across and jovially putting across your thoughts... I enjoyed the style as well as the content. You appear to be quite a keen observer of people, their behaviour and the consequences of their behaviour!!!
