The Sick Indian Middle Class Mentality

Gandhi once said, "If you want a change to happen, then you should be that change". Golden words.
Common middle class indian want everything to be perfect, say proper roads, good medical facilities, etc.as in developed countries and blames the authorities and govt.for not taking care of some basic facilities.

He wants change, but never want to be that change.
Each one of us go into our shells when a common issue comes up, as we are basically afraid of antagonising anything and everything. As i was driving my bike to drop my kid to school, i saw that the roads that leads to the school was laid last week and it is washed away in 2 days after a brief spell of rain. I just got irritated on seeing this and wanted to change this and punish the erring contractor.....
But, the slackness of mind and it is time to school for my daughter and i have to ignore this and digest it saying that it is my fate.
As i want to be the change as Gandhi pointed out, suddenly..."Sick Indian Middle Class Mentality" comes up and i am back in roads thinking it is my fate.
