Does it matter to you??

Preparations in Delhi,India is on a roll to host Common Wealth Games 2010. The countdown has begin for the mega event.I came across article recently stating required infrastructure and necessary arragements are being accomplished for the event but one line struck me,cleaning Delhi city is not just the responsibility of government the citizens should also contribute in this work, so very true. Government have done and is doing its part of work, people should realise even they have got to contribute to make such an event a grand success.We must present to the world clean and friendly environment.Citizens and Government must work as team,hand in hand then the work will happen on the fly.Here's an opputunity for India to potray its potential to such a vast number of countries,making this event happen smoothly is a biggest challenge in a country like India.

To tell it clear cut, we lack concern in public place cleanliness. People don't bother or realise that its their responsibility to keep public places clean. Cribing about departments not cleaning will not solve the problem, one has start from himself/herself and consider it has his/her own property and act accordingly.

Lets take act of littering,people don't realise its repercussions.They just think litter just passes by wind and gets off the road, but forget that it gets collected in surrounding piles up and makes the whole road awful to travel.Stringent laws have to be enforced like high fines, laws such that people must dare not to break the law. Its just not only illiterate who act irresponsible, shocking is to see educated people doing so. People have got in minds,anyways it will not change its been the same since when I was kid so why bother and they continue doing the same, they should realise change should begin and even if some realise,they fail to realise that change can begin by that very individual and there are few people who do realise and thats appreciable.

I remember myself littering when I was a kid, and I used to enjoy throwing it out of our car while travelling as it was fun to see it swrill in air, eventually I relaised my mistake. To my surprise my elders didn't bother to correct me then as its trivial for them. Whatever small thing I would have thrown its not the place for it to be, it had to go into the bin I was making road way my bin. If everybody does the same, just imagine the extent of litter piles on roads. This is just one of act where civilians mustbe responsible.
Many such acts of us, though we do knowing or unknowing it affect us in big way. So people should act and be the change.Its nice to see changes for better but its nicer to be the part of change and nicest to intitate the change.
