I came across this post related to japan's latest crisis while surfing. Amazing... worth emulating their sense of national pride and civic sense! When you think of our own country India........well things appear disgusting .Hope it touches all hearts as it did mine. Its not that we have no good examples, but this is not from an individual/s. It is the entire population and all elements within that showed collective learning. Do share if you come across more like this.
1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn't fall.
4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
7. THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.
8. THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly

well on an imaginative perspective, lets assume that We Indians were to face a similar sort of crisis, the things would have been totally different. Though I may sound anti Indian and a bit pessimistic but the fact is thats the civic sense we indians have culminated. We have no planning what so ever. No Disaster Management attributes what so ever.
1. The Frantic
There would have been visuals of disarray, restlessness and pain. The graphs of sorrow would have been at its peak.
2.The Ignominy
There would have been crusades for basic amenities. Helicopters would have dropping supplies and people looting them.
3. The Fraility
There would have been wreckage and debris all around. Roads cracked & Gutters blocked upside down because of poor town planning. Jairam Ramesh would have said that issue would be looked upon later, right now we are focusing LHASA City
4. The Hoarding & Black Marketing
Those having the resources would have chosen this as a heaven made time to make profits at any cost what so ever. Sharad Powar would have said that prices will fall eventually, nothing much govt. can do about it.
5. The Chaos
There would be looting of shops. Politicians using the opportunity to criticize the opposition and use the situation for political motives.
6. The Inefficients
Police would have said that call NSG commandos.Home ministry would have said that they are not trained for rescue operation. Opposition would have demanded resignation of P.Chidambaram.
7. The Crudeness
Hotels and restaurants would have hiked prices. ATMs and Shops would have been looted.VIPs would have been provided special refuges to planes.
8. The No Preparedness & Blame Game
No one would have had any idea what to do. People would have flooded to temples and mosque pleading god to provide divine relief. Blame game would have started between ministers and concerned departments
9. The Media
Media would have gone bizarre spreading rumors creating misconceptions and spreading terror among masses. INDIA TV would have claimed that after the disaster, the voices of PATAAL LOK are now clearly audible and would have declared another date of end of world
10. The Unclean Conscience
There would have been utter chaos among masses, govt. , concerning departments. We would have found disparities all around with no common unifomity.
