our railway station in bangalore is both gross and hip. on the one hand, there are wonderful steel dustbins, excellent lighting, computerised ticket-purchasing, top-notch restaurants and whatnot. at least, more or less. but the sad part is, that people refuse to maintain it that way. buggers. they are completely comfortable with throwing banana peels and wrappers right where they are standing when the dustbin is less than five feet away.
what is that? be he/she rich/poor, they are all alike. all without the innate sense of cleanliness. or maybe, they all keep their houses neat. after all, it is just a public place. why bother? hypocrites. dont they have a conscience at all? it is so repulsive to see people spit and pee, and do other obnoxious activities without the slightest sense of shame or regret. and then, they wanna be cool. dress nicely, eat in fancy places, shop till they drop. i'm talking about the educated ones. the ones who claim to be in the midst of everything happening. but, the basic sense of public hygiene is lacking. they may be nice people, they may be very nice people, no denying that, but thet're dirty.
and then, everyone blames the government. the classic example of refusing to take responsibility for your actions; determined not to acknowledge their shortcomings. well, its practically impossible for the government to hire agents to stalk each person to ensure that they do their bit to keep the environment safe and clan. i mean, is it too much to ask?
