thank god, for small mercies!

yes, india has its share of problems. and we complain about them all the time. power cuts, road rage, not enough water, too much water, politicians, bureaucrats, long lines, filth, pollution, what have you... i was thinking today, thank god - what if we didn't have any of these problems? what if the roads were clean, we had good sewage systems, proper water management, kind and honest politicians, solid socio-economic infrastructure, and tractable traffic? well, with all its cultural heritage, historical beauty, warm and compassionate people, democratic rule... it would easily be the world's hottest country to live in. we already have a billion people living here, however would we keep the other 5 away?

our reality, hence, is a blessing in disguise. if you think about it.
