I was on the way to my office by rick when the auto guy was complaining... ''there is so much traffic here ... I donot know what will happen..'' He started praising Bangalore and then started criticising eg..traffic, cleanliness etc... I was listening to his discussion. In between, I noticed that he spat on the road which really pissed me or you can say 'frustrated me'.
What I would like to state is , why the hell are we complaining about our place.. Why do we expect only government to do everything..Ok if the government provides also do we maintain it.. and we say '' this is wrong.. that is wrong '' etc..... Here iam not pointing at Bangalore..Iam telling in general about our country.. When we go outside India, we say '' wow it is so nice here.. so clean etc ..In india, it is not at all clean''.. It is not that India is not clean it is just that we do not keep it clean. We have wonderful places in India which luckily ( I must say) have not been explored.. Had it been explored, it would be disastrous..... We just do what others do....no wonder we r followers in all aspect...
If the place ( whther blore, chnai, mbai,kol etc) means a lot to u why not u take it for it..Make others take that example.. Prove that we equally can take care of the place.. once it is there in people in the individuals, it is easy for the government to take over the duty.For eg, instead of taking the cars every day for work, make a car pool.. every week.. Once a week u can take ur car for ur work or wherever you want. Go by bicycle to the near places or go by walk so that ur health is maintained and it will make a diff to the traffic jams. We all might feel ,.. it willnot make much difference but it will once people follow it.. and once they follow they slowly develop their ideas and become leaders at it....Another example, Plastic bag ( biggest threat to the environment) or you can one of the biggest threat, in Himachal Pradesh, they have banned the use of it. they used recycled paper.. One must really admire their attitude and the way they take care of the environment though the state becoz of the tourists....we have our own ideas on how to make a diff.. but we still donot want to.. we still want to do what others do. I would like to state another example , trees... We see trees in abroad and then when we r in india we cut them, why no parking space.. Ok cut the tree but can't we replace it by planting a saplings and taking care of it... I know it is easy to say..but if we start doing it.. slowly.. it will be a part of us..
Iam sure if all of us group together and create the feeling of individuality, liking for the nature, it will just ''MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE''.
Cheers... :):)
