We, the people, in state of euphoria, but now what???

Anna Hazare has set the stepping stone and ignited the society to fight the corruption. The ball has been set rolling. The people’s agony and anxiety towards the corruption they had to face has come on surface. The common man of independent India, depicted the huge gripe against the political system and demonstrated their remonstration to the levels of demeaning the democratic system, that we Indians are so proud of.
At the end, half the battle is won. The parliament, portrayed unanimous expression, in creating the Jan Lokpal Bill, as demanded by Team Anna.
But,
Now, the Litmus Test is of the society.
Most of the people subsist in the opinion that the Lokpal Bill, will wave some magic wand and the corruption will cease to exist. It is not so.. It is high time they shake their own mind and soul from the belief that it is the other person who is conducting corruption. In reality, let’s face it, it is you, me or our fellow and friends who are indulging in small to big corruption. Let’s keep the corruption occurring at the highest level involving the top bureaucracy and ministers and corporate houses aside for time being as the common man does not get affected by this corruptions directly at every sphere. The corruption that hurts all of us, commoners is the bribe that we give to get our every day accomplishments, like to get the ration card, to get the birth certificate etc faster breaking the queue or we pay to the authority to salvage us while breaking the law.
The euphoria to fight the corruption, as ignited by Annaji, has reached an optimum stage. The parliament has responded and it is on our shoulders to play the part, that we on most occasion expect to accept, as being portrayed by the OTHER. We prefer living in the dream world of Thou is fraudulent.
But,
Its time we understand that while pointing a finger towards the other and addressing them as alter, the three remaining three fingers are pointed towards our own self.
And,
The buck of honesty has to start from our own doorstep.
