Humor In Corruption: The Cattle Ransom!

Once upon a time somewhere in India there lived an young man who dropped out of school due to family poverty and later was appointed as a caretaker of a house under construction in the suburbs of a big town by the benevolent owner. The young man built a small thatched hut in the campus and started living there doing odd jobs apart from taking care.

Something else is disturbing me…” Friend 1: “You mean to say you are ready to pay bribes! How could you be so immune to the anti-corruption wave going on around?”  Friend 2: “How do I matter? Meaning how do I solve the problem by my so extremely personal example? I need to cl...
