What is the bigger problem...we or the system

Delhi came to a halt yesterday.It is the woe of all the people....in all the big cities. Mumbai too is in the same boat.
There are so many reasons to it.
If we forget the obvious non working of the municipal system, we will see that everywhere these cities are generally near some waterbody. All the settlers want a house , but when the area around these rivers etc. is taken up nobody cares, many of us buy these lands for houses. But water needs drainage and with just one rain then the city is deep in water, we lament.
Next we all want a car, and not use the public transport. With these many cars growing , no amount of land is sufficient.In Australia , it is required that anyone who buys a car, has a place to park it.. if we do that in India........mor than half of us will have to go without a car.
And lesser we talk of our population , better it is. As it looks as if people just do not think before a child's birth , that where we will house them.
They say...all who are born will eat their own share which is in their luck. But forget that if there is nothing what will be their share. The problems are glaring and growing.
And not to forget our govt. which talks in terms of GDP...but what about consolidation of what we have gained...by providing facilities for the public. But then what to expect from a chappal and mike throwing parliamentarians.
Here comes the crux of the whole problem
WHO SENT THEM THERE?
US!!!!!!!!!
GREAT!!!!!!!!!
So the whole gamut falls on us, as before casting a vote we see the caste, religion, party, and so many factors, but forget who will work for us.
In our system a person who fights election, needs money for PR, and only the moneyed can afford it. Why we as citizens do not get up and look out for good candidates , and canvass for them, so that others also get to know them.
WE have forgotten our duties.
The day we will get up and do it, the whole system will too.
I feel strongly for our country which our freedom fighters have given their blood for, and our forces even today are fighting to keep united..without a thought for their own life .

Dear Lata
You Too have come up with a relevant point that when we can manage our public behaviour in foreign countries...why not in India?
THis is one of the reason stated in an article of TOI's yesterday's edition ,about the problems Indian students are facing in the OZ.When it went out of hand it became racism.
and yes punishments are there as deterrent , but nobody implements them.
we can just hope our next gen does better.
