Change...Is it Necessary??

Hello to all. I would like to start with two of the famous quotes:

1) The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live. “Flora Whittemore”

2) Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.” Keri Russell ”


This explains a bit about what i need to discuss here today. Not wasting much time i would first share an experience of mine and then carrying on with some other issues too.


It was on my last vacations when i was going home and waiting for the bus to leave the stand…i moved out of the bus for a change and what i saw was that people were bringing eatables from the stalls outside and were eating those and were throwing the waste on the side of the road despite the fact that there were some dustbins there.


I got a bit irritated and asked a guy who was looking to be an educated one-”Yaar ye yahan kyon fek rhe ho….dustbin hai vahan”…He said in an irritating tone that “idhar yaar pehle se hee kachra pada hai”.So I said -“aap aur bhada rhe ho usse”.Then we boarded into the bus as it was about to leave.Then i told him that the place where he was throwing the garbage was made a place like that by a person like us who first threw the garbage there and you were just adding to it.

Then i thought that how responsible are we as a citizen? We just criticize governments, criticize rules etc.What we do is we say that countries like US, UK etc are well developed and have clean roads and things like that but we ourselves make our surroundings dirty. . Are we really bothered for a change or we will just keep on criticizing things.

I guess rules in our country are not that stringent as there is no fine on things like i mentioned in the above incident.No fine on people smoking in the bus but we always find ”No smoking” written in the front of every bus. We are of the belief that “rules are meant to be broken”- this might look cool and easy. We can find many a times that younger people breaking traffic rules and then cursing the traffic police. We curse governments too but we never bother to vote.See guys this way things will never change. It’s on everyone of us to take initiative and ask the person if that person is smoking in the prohibited area and raise your voice against many such issues like this.Don’t think much but “Just Do It” and try to bring the change which you dream to see and make our country not a better but a “best” place to live in. It may be a similar article which you have read before and forgotten but believe me guys if it doesn’t awake you then i guess you better need another hour’s sleep.If it really wakes you a bit do something as efforts never go waste if they are taken in the right direction.
