IS CLEANLINESS REALLY NEXT TO GODLINESS???

Well, before i start to write this new post,i would like to mention what prompted me to post this new note.... I was travelling on an electric suburban train on a hot sunny day..Not much of passengers on board,still too much of litters.I was wondering why on earth is my country too dirty?with this thought wandering my mind,I took a long walk to catch bus...All i could see on my way was tons of garbage scattered on road.... So i decided to just write something about it...

Many a times we blame our country and mainly our fellow Indians for not keeping our places clean...I have seen that people who have just returned from foreign trips proudly say "U know how clean Japan is? China is?Singapore is? U know what? u have to pay penalty if we litter the highways blah blah." People keep saying so proudly about our neighboring countries and curse ours for not being up to the mark...One thing which i have noticed is that these people as long as they were in those countries ,would not have littered at all.. But once they come here,they start ruining the place.. If asked why? they say "My country!!" What a shame!!Guess our government has given too much place for all these...

I am reminded of one incident that happened to me recently.. I got a cup of coffee in a railway station and after consuming was searching a trash basket... One of my friends said "why do u search?put it in the railway track".. Most of the time we tend to give good advices to our fellow people!!...So now coming to my story at last i found out one dust bin!!.. To my astonishment even the trash basket looked like as if it has to be condemned!! Too dirty!! For namesake there is one trash basket at each station...

I am reminded of yet another incident where a mother and a kid was sitting opposite to me in train... The mother was eating some fruit and dropped the remains just like that on the floor.. I told her not to do and what i got in return was a stare!!Not only this, each of us can say thousands and thousands of such incidents in our day today life!!

And in railway station bridges there is not even a provision to discard waste!!Then coming to our electric suburbans,again we don't have a provision to put waste except railway tracks!!This is not only the case for trains,even our roads become prey to those travel on buses!!Anything to discard?put it outside the window!! very simple job indeed... We never see who comes behind us and we spit, wash our hands and do all sort of nonsense there...What on earth do we really think when we do this?

Now and then we hear NGO's taking measures to clean roads,beaches etc etc... but all their efforts are in vain...I think our government either thinks people are matured enough not to litter or they themselves participate actively in this...There are only two solutions to this case!!

Either everyone of us should take an oath not to litter the place around or the government has to take an initiative regarding this serious issue!!

Well,the latter solution seems to be difficult to implement!! And we are so called humans with six senses!! can't we at least sense that our own country is being spoiled by ourselves?So let us,from now on think a minute before we play up with our roads and railway tracks!!!
