I have the exact feeling when a person throws out the paper cups. You know there were days I have seen people spitting up mostly men, the auto drivers while driving or while waiting in signals and littering in common places, even educated guys some times do it, at those moments I can't stop giving an anger look but days were they even don't notice me, just spit and keep walking is what they do. as you said, no talk, just do it ourselves and I I have been participating in the coastal clean up, that day after cleaning the beach I get a heart felt satisfaction nothing is so great feeling. This kind of blog sharing helps us move forward knowing there are people who cares mother earth.

Everyday while traveling through our roads these became rather common which we are supposed to ignore just like how politicians ignore us. They just don't understand it's their home (earth) is being abused. They just don't feel it. Glad I feel really awesome after reading this post. I'm not just the crazy one who's bp shoots up and eyes goes red when someone throw trash on road or spits.I'll try to tell them they can drop in the bin as politely as you do. Thank you!

To answer your question, I can only mirror your last comment to me: 'Keep writing!' Do that and you'll find your unique voice. <br />Good that you have candidly accepted your past mistakes. So many people find it hard to do that. Heartening to see your thoughts about bettering India even while you are abroad. <br />My heartfelt thanks for your admiration. All the very best to you.Nandini Karkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14706646154677107759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502810396959590669.post-32290353037306982872015-12-17T19:43:45.290+05:302015-12-17T19:43:45.290+05:30Interesting idea.

I am not an voracious reader nor an excellent writer but when I read your blog it is so soothing and my mind voice says I must write like this one day to just flush out all my stress, sorrows & all bad feeling I have (also some happy post)…The best part of reading your blog is, I can relate me in some places (especially your childhood and USA Days) and I often google the words you use and find meaning for it. Can you please tell me how do you develop this skill of using unique words??<br />And back to the “Zen and the Art of Waste Management”, I felt guilty that when I was in India I have spoiled mother earth too but after coming to Australia I realised my mistakes and I always use only dustbins. I am thinking when I fly down to India for holiday I must volunteer to clean up some places for sure!!<br />I don’t know whether you will read this comment or not but I admire your language command.

Her response was, "Why else are we paying monthly maintenance fee, have a cleaner?" Other instance, I was asked,"to how many will you ask this? 1, 10, 100,1000? Don't you have any other job?" Either such people should realize on their own and change or at least, get sense when someone else requests and make an attempt to change. They do neither. We are left with no option but follow non-violence path as you said at last "No words; only action". On the brighter side, read this article, these guys have come up with an interesting reward for people who dispose garbage in bins diligently!! http://www.thebetterindia.com/33430/wifi-trash-bin-by-raj-desai-and-pratik-agarwal/ Manasaa Sureshhttp://manasaasuresh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
