Who let the dog poop?!?!?!

A pleasant Sunday morning ended up in an altercation with a guy whose mutt dropped its shite right in front of my house. And this, with the guy standing and watching nonchalantly. When I asked (you think so?) him how his civic sense was so low, and that how he could allow this to happen, I was shocked on hearing, "koi law hai to batao yaaro". Now, do we need laws & rules to keep people from making their pets to defecate around the world? How is it that our sense of hygiene and sanitation reached such lows? The same guy or anyone in his place would ensure this doesn’t happen in front his own house, would he? World over there are rules where-in pet owners need to carry a bag and collect the faeces. Even in Mumbai there are action groups which keep the pressure mounted on BMC to monitor and ensure that the faeces are collected and discarded by pet owners all by themselves. My question is, will only an iron fisted approach be the solution to something as basic keeping our own surroundings clean? People should understand the dangers of leaving pet wastes in the streets that in turn would affect their own surroundings. It is learnt that this waste in turn reaches our drains/gutters and then to all the connected natural water bodies. The same waste then comes back to us through the sea food we eat. Now pl tell me, whether bye-laws and govt. rulings to stop us dirtying our environment or a concerted action by way of educating pet owners would be more effective? I think we all know the anwer.

No Spit Day

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 high...

A visit to India Gate

By
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...

Kya hum besharam hain?

By
Sunday the 31st of July saw its 1st Slut-walk come to India. So this was the 1st time that one could watch females ambling around on the streets in skimpy clothes without any inhibitions. Now if you are a guy who's reading this post, my last sentence should have clearly made your sensory organs that visualize or capture images in the mind to work overtime. Any male's instincts will go berserk, regardless of his age- 16 or 60. I guess that's not the point here. One's libido could be strong anyways- it need not also necessarily be because of the clothes that turn one on. All the rape and molestation that happens in villages or remote areas is often insulated to western clothing/culture let alone urban India. This is prevalent even within households and amongst relatives. The culprit there doesn't bother if his victim is wearing sleeveless attire or a mini skirt. If clothes were to only triggering factor in such crimes then what reasoning do people have when ev...
