Bonding over happiness

In the name of modernization, our tech has changed drastically. From standing outside PCU for hours to make a phone call to power to make 10 calls simultaneously sitting right on our couch can truly be termed as revolution. From 1 / 1 million getting a chance to fly evening economy class to everyone flying at as low as INR 99 fares is sign that what considered luxury once has become a day to day affair for us .

These and many other changes like Bullet Train , Skyscraper to live , 2 minute meals to eat , World to roam around , 100 GB's of data to carry in pocket , starting revolution on click of button and many more . People have adapted and benefited from these changes over the years in very positive note. 

But few things which have never changes include the laziness and not caring for cleanliness. Although Keeping own house clean is number one priority but beyond the doorstep of our house, the rest of a world seems to be a garbage bin for which " GOD KNOWS WHO " is responsible to clean . The percentage of responsible citizen is very few compare to billions of others thinking it's Govt. responsibility to clear up the mess because they are public servant. 

Unfortunately such attitude has turned a amazing park near our society into a dumping ground of waste material. The Foul smell has attracted pigs, insects and it's difficult to pass across the road without putting a handkerchief on nose and mouth. Our Resident Welfare Association ( RWA ) have been putting request to local municipal body , MLA , MP and even local media to get this garbage cleaned up as it was potential hot bed for diseases . Even though few truck load of heap was cleared but it was far from over as more and more piles were coming up as even Waste building material, Hospital discharge and local restaurant leftover were also finding this park as their place to rest upon. 

Finally when cases of dengue started Appearing in our town and govt, issued advisory which clearly mentioned places which can be breeding ground then a sense of urgency appeared in mind of every parent . Immediate Meeting was called upon and we decided to take things in our hand and begin ”Cleanliness drive " right away .

Took almost 15 days to clear everything and dispose properly, 30 days to disinfect entire area and more 30 days to plant trees / grass in park .. Everyone worked and contributed , even taking guards at night to ensure no-one is again dumping anything at the place . Even have to call Police for assistant few times to fight with Builders and enacted local force to fine them every time. Dustbins were installed at every corners and daily collection was contracted. Nearby School / Hospitals /Office were sent circular to help us in this drive.

Now , People actually get out of their houses and to fill their lungs with clean air and this developed a sense of working together , connect neighbors , building trust and to raise voice to prevent crushing of nature earth . This surely inspired our new generation that world/life is not bad as they thing and humanity prevails and best companion of your life is mother earth.


No man made technology can do magic as nature can do and growing around them is the best thing that can happen to life.
