DID YOU SAY "CIVIC SENSE"?

Vow!! what a topic to discuss a side of typical Indian psyche which goes unnoticed most of the time and the oblivion has led us to creating a mess which is becoming bigger and bigger!! I stay in Tagore Town a predominantly residential area of Allahabad,an area good for a quiet stroll.Almost everytime i walk around,i see at least one owner of a pet dog letting the poor beast vent it's bowels on the nearest (in)convenient place.Is it so difficult to have your pet trained?In countries like USA,UK you can be fined for the same.Cities are abuzz with so many food joints,pubs,restaurants,shopping malls and so on which have added quite a spice to our daily monotonous lives.But driven by the spic & span interiors of such places you all might have just missed the starking realties smirking at all of us.Whether it is a mall or a restaurant on a daily basis early in the morning around 7am or so one can see the employees sweeping the floors and even the pavement infront of their shops.Nice!Very Nice! What is not so nice is the no. of used soft drink paper cups & solid paper plates which they accumulate and throw outside consciously or unconsciously.But the question is where is their conscience at this point of time which allows them to keep the interiors clean as long as the exteriors exist as virtual "dumping grounds".
Another perfect example could be that of our very own college.............................
