No Spit Day

Image
By




The most observable day to day activity of the residents of our land is 'Spitting' . Just make an effort to see people around you......from the one walking in front of you to the one sitting in car with family or the one sitting beside you...............there comes a moment when they turn their head and leave the proof of their action along with the unpleasant sound of 'Aaaaaathoooo '.

The common habit of chewing pan, tobacco or just spitting for fun / pleasure/ sore throat (god knows what reason is it) makes people spit not only on roads, but also on public property (visit any monument to witness the remnants of this act) , and sometimes they don't even mind spitting on people (applicable to the ones travelling by bus, car etc., who see nowhere and directly put their head out of the window..... and....spit...yes.....along with the unpleasant sound of 'Aaaaaaathooooo') .

The roads/ lifts/ staircases (common places where we find the area of spit highlighted with the red color) are not meant to collect the litters of people, are they? This land , our country, is ours and no one else's ....but do we mistreat our land in this manner? If we take full authority in residing in this land, then don't you think it needs our attention to be handled with care. How are we contributing in bringing a change when we ourselves are not ready to change......?????

We can't stop you from doing what you are doing as you need to do that yourself.

But, what more can we do, but initiate to start observing a 'No Spit Day' ..... funny it may sound....but a small move like this can make a great amount of difference and make people conscious of their moves.

Awake Spot says "Lets all observe 13th March '2011 as the 'No Spit Day' and avoid from dirtying around here, there and everywhere "

Join our cause here and spread the word to all known and even ..... 'unknown'.

    you know, you can create this day if you just send out an SMS to 1 person who you trust has a habit of forwarding SMSes. Your message will get through. Viral marketing!

A visit to India Gate

Out of Sight ....but not....Out of Mind...!! Wanted to write a blog only once I saw myself changing....and have I?...Yes,I have changed to some extent and will keep on changing until apocalypse :p :p (it was meant on a lighter note, people...dunno whether the world ends in 2012, and don't even want to specualte) With this post, I want to bring into light the common man's perception about the heritage of India. Let's just focus on 'one of the many' such places - THE INDIA GATE - a landmark that commemorates the live's lost fighting the British Empire , along with the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' which pays homage to the ones lost in the 1971 Ino-Pak war. However on a recent visit, it appeared that it was more of a 'fun spot' and less of a 'rememberance spot'. The purpose for anyone's visit there, especially the residents of Delhi, is to eat (throw here and there) , play in the pond (having bath in the water and how can we forget ...throw...

Caution : Pay Attention

By
Recently the incident at Indore, shocked the wits off me. Its said that there are warning signs asking people not to go down to the waterfall, but that definitely goes unnoticed and out of sheer curosity we tend to do what we are instructed not to. Alas, its not always that we are lucky and forbidden from being victim of an unexpected incident. This incident proves that there are days when things just don't go the normal way . Its sad...really sad....We can't blame the nature for what happened, but definitely our negligence and lack of presence of security measures which resulted in loss of 3 lives. This could have been prevented : if at first, they (victims) realized that going against the warnings (of not going near the waterfall)could cost their lives, If, there were security personnels who could have stopped them from going against the warnings stated and If at the end, there were adequate security measures to save them from beight caught in nature's hand. Flash floods...
