Ever wondered after taking a stroll round blog park, or guest column park in any newspaper or a real stroll around a real park…What are the chances that you missed meeting a compulsive cribber…Pretty slim I’d say….Considering how “young” India’s population currently is, cribbing seems to be alarmingly becoming a national pastime !! From newspaper columnists to some very well-read bloggers, Its as if people now consider it their national duty to start cribbing about every little thing that may or may not effect them…No, I am not complaining about, or rather cribbing about, lack of real activists….Inspite of all that people may say or leaders may exhort, at the end of the day, it still is left to a few people only to do the actual dirty work…My concern is that of the rest, there are majorly two kinds. Those who do not care to comment and those who care to only comment….It is the latter version of the species that has me thinking..A passive spectator only adds to traction, but a negative participant can actually cause more harm than what many passive spectators may result in…Even if these species result in convincing one borderline case on the supposed futility of considering an attempt at changing the system, then that in itself is a huge loss…

I tried to look at a lot of people’s opinions about this, but always fail to understand why they see, or rather prefer to see, only that which is worthy of deriding..

Yes, by cribbing about cribbers, I am running the risk of being a cribber myself..But atleast that way I become an active participant in the movement against cribbers ;)
