Its Time... TO ACT!!!!

Some of us want to live in a Developed India... some believe we can never be one...to each his own.. for some.. it just doesnt matter...
but what are we actually doing to change things??? We complain incessantly for every little thing.. about the Indian Standard Time, about lack of proper infrastructure, education system, transport, healthcare, population .... blah blah blah.... But do we actually do something constructive inorder to help our country be a developed nation??
We feel proud.. when someone in the United States goes to space even if they are remotely related to india, when we win the world cup, when the number ofIndian engineers in NASA rises... We have loads of engineers , doctors, etc who make us proud. They have done their job. but what about us.. what about the common man? Isnt it our responsibility to keep our city/town clean as much as the government's? Why do we shrug off our DUTIES when we protest for our Rights??

Its time we move on from talking about the things for the sake of it and actually get up and do something.
We blame the government for the floods in mumbai, the drainage system isnt proper, its not cleaned etc often unrealising that we are the reason for the drains to be clogged.

This was an initiative which was told to us by a professor. She had initiated it and wanted us to be a part of it.She talked about being responsible and conscious and refuse to throw any waste anywhere but in the proper place and also prevent others from doing so. often as we travel in trains there are people who throw waste conveniently out of the window. You can politely ask them if you could keep it for them and throw it in the dustbin later. Well hopefully most would get the message and do the needful. Some might get upset but its worth the effort. You have nothing to lose and its like a cascading effect. You leave others feeling responsible for their actions.
If all of us decide to do the same wont our city too be a beautiful place?? wouldnt it be easier to achieve the dream of living a Developed India if we share the responsibility and act accordingly.

There is so much to be done if we WANT to do... Let each one of us contribute in our small ways.. kehte hai.. katre katre se sagar banta hai.. Our efforts wont ever go waste.. somewhere somehow it always makes a difference...

Well I still hope, Wish and Dream that one day I am going to live in a Developed India and I know I WILL :)
