Me and my father sat in regervation,due to more rush we haven't got ticket and when the T T(ticket collector) was coming we used to go to another compartment's and finally one t t caught us and asked us to show us ticket and i said that not there and he calculated the distance and panality and asked us to pay 1200 rupess and i said we cannot give this much huge amount.
the t t said to my father that at next stop he will give us to police .My father just took out 200 rupees not from his pocket and gave to the tt

You are 20 years old. That's not a child in most parts of the world. You could have politely told your father it was wrong.

Then you just need to grin and bear it. If he does things that you find embarrassing just put your mind in a different space and try to pretend it's not happening. Can you excuse your self to go to the rest room so you don't have to deal with it? We all need to urinate sometime.

The system is like that. It should be changed. Not just in this particular field you mentioned, but in every aspect, the list changes to be done in the system is endless. But not at all a problem. If the younger generations think like you, come forward prohibiting bribe or any illegal things, i am quite sure, you can bring change together. I appreciate your thinking about what's correct and what's wrong happening in the system. Begin somewhere. The rest join you. You can not build Rome in one day. It takes time. But change is must.
You see, the biggest difference between farm animals and human beings is that we have the power of choice. The ability to make choices and decisions. Of all the creatures on earth, only human beings have been given this power.
Will you use your power or ignore it? It's your choice.
It may be time to STOP "going with the flow".
Instead of telling ourselves that we can not change the system, or being a part of it in it's wrong methods, everyone should raise a question against the system like you've done today. Youth can do it. Nothing is impossible when you guys come united. Don't give up. Good luck.
