When we periodically describe the corruption or no-movement of files in the government departments for months, and blame the system as "Policy Paralysis"; what we conveniently ignore is the "People Paralysis" of the Sarkari Babus - the parasites. 

By and large few of such Babus make use of the system and exploit the system being in the system. But interestingly, there is an aura of authority and yet a friendliness about such parasites. They are found to be good in their PR skills and soft skills, and are more approachable. Things get done easily with them as they willingly sell their work for a fee. But they deliberately create a smokescreen of “authority” to justify their conduct, and think of their positions as their possessions.
