Thankyou Modiji for scaring me

The whole demonetisation chutzpah has scared not just me but practically the whole country . The Indian society which was used to keeping a ready cash , some - less , some - more ,at hand is suddenly scared to keep that, even  for an emergency . The common man is scared to keep the black money or gold although it is difficult to define black money in Indian scenario . Now that is a different issue altogether . I personally , am confused as to whether it has been a good move as there are people who give valid reasons in favour of the move . And there are equally intelligent people who tell that it is a big mistake . I am inclined to feel that it was a necessary move but it's implementation was faulty . We are scared but we need to be scared a bit more .
We need to be scared of bribing and taking bribes . We need to be scared of dishonesty in our dealings . We need to be scared of breaking social rules . Scared we should be , of stealing electricity . We should be scared of breaking traffic rules , jumping red lights , throwing banana and peanut peels out of our luxury car windows . We should think twice before we litter , or pollute our environs . We should be scared of disrespecting our elders, women , cildren and teachers . The leaders should be scared of not fulfilling their promises to the voters . The officials should be scared not to complete their duties . Scared we should be of over populating our country and scared we should be of asking unjustly for easy way out through reservations .
Some of my friends said how can I expect the govt to bring in all the changes , it has to be the people who should change . Here , I feel the good old saying of sparing the rod and spoiling the child holds good . See how the scare of a penalty has everybody fishing out cash from every nook and cranny . So if a punishment is levied strictly to people not abiding by the rules of the land , they will all fall in line . If a common man is discilined and has national character , Good Days will definitely come !
