Perspective: Glass is half empty OR Glass is half full .

What were the points of negotiations (differences or rectifications)?
The weak Draft of the Government to be drawn back.
A Strong LOKPAL to be put into the Parliament and Passed.
Should be done in some respected time Frame.

As of yesterday 24th August 2011 where do we stand?

The weak draft of the government is not withdrawn but have accepted to redraft the bill with inclusion of views from all the parties as-well-as all parts of civil societies.

As per first point the inclusion of all the other parties and the civil societies (mainly civil societies) the bill is now expected to come out stronger then the government bill and we can not be sure but there would be no harm in believing that the bill could could be even stronger then what we say as Anna's Bill. The discussion will be on live telecast which is also one transparent point positive of view for people.

Time-lines could go for a toss but if some time-lines are kept in mind or agreed upon there would still be no harm situation, after all we are expecting a Stronger Bill with this approach.

Three points to Three points
So if I give percentile to them lets say each having 33.33% then, I would say Anna team has gained 33.33% on the first point. Drafting new bill automatically means government bill is not the only one taken into consideration while drafting.

Then on the second one we can presumably believe keeping all the current events in mind, we are going to get a strong bill at-least much more stronger then what was proposed by the government. If not then the protest can be once again gathered and I can talk for myself that I will be again on the forefront. So we can give 20% to the second point.

Taking the third point now and seeing the situation lets give it no points at-all.

Over-all 53.33% to Anna's team so there is no defeat I see it a winning situation and if Anna's team besides him can show the glass full to Anna then maybe he puts the end to this fast. We loosing him at this stage will disperse the support and the crowd, country and worldwide. He is utmost important at this stage that, we have him besides us till the bill is passed in the parliament and in-between if need be start the protest once again against a weak bill if attempted.

I ams sure I would not be cut-down by anyone if I would say that we should continue the protest at the Ramlila Ground till the bill is passed to keep the pressure behind but we can loosen it a little bit. Loosening would mean that keep the crowd coming in and out and Anna'ji discontinuing the fast but staying at the ground.

Even when a very strong bill is passed we would still need Anna to remind the people of India that they are now to start with themselves. The corruption as seeped so much inside some Indians that in-fact there are few (individual or business) would go completely bankrupt. This does not stop us from going the right way and now since the this light has been lit in so many by Anna, it should not be impossible even if difficult.

Vande Mataram!
Jai Hind!
Anna tum aage bhadoo hum tumhare saath hai!

I am a stern follower of Anna you can call me a very big fan of his. I have been with him almost everyday in his support though in public. I gave my arrest on 16th Aug 2011 in protest against Anna's arrest. Next day again I was there amongst the people that marched from India Gate to Sansad. I wanted people to know this before they took any decision or made their perspective on it.
