Corruption in a simple language is defined as dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery. It is the wrongdoing on the part of an authority or powerful party through means that are illegitimate, immoral, or incompatible with ethical ...


Now analyzing about the the admission of your son  to the school you passed from, it is not at all Corruption as you are only stating the fact which may or may not help in the admission of your son .It is a privilege you had earned. 


Regarding calling the doctor for taking  'extra' care of a patient known to you is based on your relationship cultivated with the doc over a period ,  it is not any  kind of corruption as you are not using your authority nor bribing the Doc.

It is the privilege extended by the pharma companies to the doctors , who also need info of new drugs in the market to serve his patients better  . So  doctors are  not corrupt?

An artist or politician tries to 'push' or 'promote' his or her children ahead of others. is it corruption? It is corruption when he is bribing the authorities .

When a police constable takes a bribe of Rs 10/- it is corruption. when a powerful officer facilitates a file good for public in general after receiving some unauthorized inputs it is corruption?

When we try to jump the queue at the bus stop, It is an act of  indiscipline .

Only those acts comes under the preview of Corruption where  a person in authority takes money for doing a job which he should have done as part of his duty .In India almost every Government  department has become corrupt bt  the most corrupt offices for common man are-
Transport Department
Property Registration oFFICES
Police Department
Income Tax
Excise
Sales Tax
Civic Bodies

It seems you are very keen about this India Against Corruption movement. i wish you all success. but i would like to clear a few confusions that keep on disturbing me regarding corruption. what is corruption? when admitting my son to the school I passed from, i filled in a space for alumni. is it not for some kind of identification for seeking advantage as group or class etc. over who cannot fill that space? is that corruption? i called a doctor friend of mine to take 'extra' care of a patient known to me. is it some kind of corruption in demanding something 'extra' over and above he would have otherwise got? i do not know any doctor of repute who do never in their time received any inputs of whatever kind from pharma companies. so all doctors are corrupt? an artist or politician tries to 'push' or 'promote' his or her children ahead of others. is it corruption? when a police constable takes a bribe of rs 10/- it is corruption. when a powerful officer facilitates a file good for public in general after receiving some unauthorized inputs it is corruption? when we try to jump the queue at the bus stop, is it corruption? when a powerful person take crores it is corruption. is it not that corruption, like so many other thing, is like a ladder? amount and proportion in quality and quantity and how much that 'corruption; will affect others depends on ones situation, scope and opportunity. no way the any of those mentioned above are more or less corrupt than the others.
 it would be most kind of you to clear the mind of this corrupt man.
