we often hear this question from ppl who have jus returned from any foreign country. and yo must listen to them brag the way the U S of A is so clean and the ppl there r so sophisticated and all tat. and i have always wondered why our country can never be so clean how much ever measures our govt takes???!!! finally found the answer..
recently had been on a trip to singapore.. wow really an awesome island.. and how well they have developed the country from scratch. such a well planned country. i was admiring the way each and evry mall was built and how clean the roads were. traffic regulation.. no pollution.. a discipline in evrything. all this awe until i visited a place called ” little india”. tat was one time i was really ashamed being called an indian. tat place has been named so not oly coz of the number of indians living there was more.. but coz of the state it was maintained.. and yo know wat the locals say?? govt has tried imposing rules.. and evry other part in s’pore followed it.. except the indian population.. and tats y after a period of time.. the govt stopped bothering them coz thats there in their culture.. i don like to admit tat its in our blood to keep our place shabby. OMG it was typically t nagar.. all platform shops.. nowhere else was it like this.. ppl spitting all over the streets.. and there s a temple there.. and ppl r even breaking coconuts on the road in s ‘pore. all of us know how strict the rules r and s’pore is called the “FINE CITY” coz of the fine we have to pay even for spitting or dropping junk on the roads.. and when i spoke to a an indian settled there . he is saying we r indians naah!! gotta leave an impression wherever we are.. i was shocked is this how we want the world to look at us?? shud india be used as a scale for its unclean ways.?? i saw ppl those who evr throwing their coffee cups in the trash in s’pore airport were jus throwing away plastic covers and bottles inside the airport randomly as soon as they reached india..wat big difference does it bring in tat four hours travel.. or is there some change as soon as they step into our border?? all this cleanliness shudn be imposed.. it shud be within us to keep our country neat and clean. wats the use of the govt imposing rules now and fine for spitting and throwing garbage on roads.. even for this our ppl wil come up with demonstration and strike claiming its a democratic country and its their basic right to throw garbage on roads and al this wil be made into politics.. finally the real reason for which the rule was brought wil be forgotten..
i really wish there ll come a day.. when ppl wil stop bragging about how clean the other countires are.. and come up with ways to keep our country clean and green.. and india wil no more be on top of the scale for uncleanliness..
