Can't use a DUSTBIN??

today i had been to a railway station. we had just finished shopping and we were very tired. So we got two cups of coffee and one cup of pepsi. There was a dustbin near the stall, and i was so happy that i can make use of it, because it is so hard to find a dustbin in my city (chennai). But i was angered beyond limits when the lady incharge of the stall ordered us not to use the dustbin; and the reason she gave was that if we used the dustbin, flies will hover around her stall. What a dumb woman! I was really flush with anger. How horrid can people get?? When dustbins are provided, WHY is a CITIZEN of India PROHIBITED from using a dustbin?? It just makes no sense. Still my anger hasn't subsided. It is so pathetic and this is injustice.

Two days back, a man came from EXNORA (Excellent Noval and Radical Ideas), a group that is doing a really good job of keeping our city green and clean and creating awareness among students. This man, presented many good ideas and thoughts how we can keep our land litter-free. He told us that we must use our spare dustbin, ie, our pockets, to store the candy wrappers and other papers and then throw them in a dustbin. He told this because there aren't many dustbins around these days. But today I was disgusted at the way that woman literally told me to litter. She told me not to use the dustbin!!! How could she? Where are her brains?

Then when I climbed the stairs of the railway bridge, I looked out. All along the railway tracks there were so many white plastic papers and plastic cups and all kinds of waste. If every person who threw that, had enough sense and used his "spare dustbin", just imagine how green that place would have been?? Grass would have thrived and we would have had a lovely lush green path all along the tracks. But now, the land looked dead. It was so dirty. Why this injustice? why isn't there a right to use even a dustbin????? This is plain madness, i would say... what do u folks out there say?

Rajiv Gandhi Memorial

Today our school's NSS unit went on a small camp.. we visited a small village school and had a wonderful and memorable time. On our return, we visited Rajiv Gandhi's memorial. It was a very quiet place and it was awesome. But when I read the stone tablets that spoke of him, I was moved... He had been such a good leader, and yet he was assasinated. I felt bad... all the good people are killed and cheaters are allowed to survive in our country. But I felt good that atleast, my countrymen had enough sense to build a respectable place in remembrance of this great personality.

I learnt from the info they had put up there, that Rajiv campaigned 20 hours a day & he didnt have his special security that day. He only had his normal security and was walking among the public. One lady, pretended to touch his feet and in a fraction, her human bomb exploded killing so many... I felt miserable... how can anyone possibly be a part of a human bomb?? I can hardly imagine.. How did she get the heart to do such a wicked thing? I have been so disturbed by this whole thing.... Why so much hatred against a mahatma?

A Street Drama

I was walking down my street, heading home from school and on the main road, I saw a huge digital poster & wondered what was it about. It contained a big picture of some local politician, who's first death anniversary was being celebrated. And that was not all. A little ahead in the street, I saw 4 or 5 huge speakers with loud music and there was a shyamiyana too, on one of the roof-tops. And also, another huge poster. I was disgusted to see so much of money being wasted in making such huge unnecessary posters. I mean, it is good to remember people on their anniversaries, but don't u think it is outrageous to spend so much in speakers (sound system) and posters, where , in one corner of our land, millions of people are starving and in need. And I had one more thought... well, it is pretty hard to say it, but it is the truth... The street of which i am talking about is in ruins. I mean, after the rains, about 2 years back, the street has literally withered out. and the authorities haven't taken a single measure to mend it. And only for their anniversaries, they will spend hordes of the hard earned money of Indian citizens. They can't use the tax that sincere people pay, for the benefit of the society, instead they are bent on making all this fussy stuff for name and fame. Well to be really honest, I felt disgusted, really really bad and awful..

And also the speakers... One cannot imagine the noise they made.!! Don't they realize it is a residential area and there might be really sick people out there or students working hard?? Why cannot they think and use their brains? Is such loud music THAT necessary??

I know i have offended a few people, if so, i am terribly sorry.. But do touch ur heart and analyse the whole thing and think....I am sure u will agree with me.

What do u people out there think? are u with me??

Sixtyeith Year Of Freedom...

This year we will be celeberating 60th year of Independence...

Well, in 60 years apart from a basic development, everyday while going to school or whenever am out of my residential area, all I can see is that yuckieyy and shitty Naala, where there is a Garbage house, and next to it people have settled homes, I just hate it.
Freedom is for all of us... Not only you or me, or my friends or my family, etc etc. Wishing and hoping that it does come to an end... It should rather asap cause Common Weath Games, Next World CUp and many of the world championship are to be held here, in the Capital... *sigh*

Well and if you wanna look to the best of Indian Culture then it completely rocks... Metro in Delhi, 60 yrs of Indpendence *hehe*, rising Bangalore, developing *yet not in a balanced manner* , depleting bacwardness, Delhi has become far more safe, etc etc!!!

*Just yearing that one day the world will turn to East!*

Naa, not a dust bin, I prefer a *letter box*

In my colony there are no DUSTBINS and I real hate it when I am forced to throw something on the road that is only when, when I am tired carrying the trash in my hand.
My friend and me eat ice cream and chocolates everyday and I always make sure that the wrappers either go into a dustbin or in my hand or in my pockets. And thanks to me now she has got a habit to hand me the wrappers and its upto me what to do... well since there is NO DUSTBIN I HAVE TO THROW THE STUFF on the periphery and the sides... I sometimes throw the trash in front of a park where there is big garbage bag. This bag has always been in front of the board saying "यहाँ कूडा न फेंके"...

Then it was one day, the I had this chocolate wrappers in my hand and was wondering where to throw.
There is a letter box in our colony which is not in use since a decade or few years less than that. I am so good *hehe* that I posted that wrapper... *U got it?* I threw the wraper into the letter box. *I made sure no one was watching me but if anyone did, then I still dont care... hehe* I did this twice...
But still, what else could I do!!! Now I am thinking something, that I should write a letter to our president, I mean president of my colony...
*hehe*
