Jugaad

I just hate the word.
In my opinion it's the thing responsible for quite a lot of our country's problems.

People seem so proud to say we got this internship or this ticket or this card by 'jugaad'.
Where does corruption end? It's such a vicious cycle.

Why is honesty never appreciated?
Is there even a line between right and wrong in most people's minds anymore? Or is 'what's best for me' the only thing that's right?

It's still a mood of cricket fever now, so why is a batsman who 'walks' condemned for not sticking by his team? If a team wins unfairly, shouldn't they actually be ashamed of winning?

Why is being tough and hard-nosed admired in preference to consideration and gentleness?
Why don't the nice guys win??
I guess only eternity will tell....
