Ponds on Roads

I know am very late to show up with these photographs, but somehow the irony didn't turned out the way I thought (Thank God) and when it rained, though I clicked these pics but forgot to put them here. But as said its better late than never so am here.. LATE (trust me,I hate to be) as usual..

The picture above is not a scene of an old rotten road of a countryside but instead, to be specific its a scene of roads on rainy days in Jalandhar and in general this case prevails in almost every city in India.

I cant say whom to blame for all this mess but what I do know is we cant clap with one hand. Its not only the municipal corporation and its not only we people. Its we both. If, we as people understand our duty well, perform it to 50% of what we are doing these days then the condition around will be far better and you know what, we wont have to depend on corporation to clean up the mess. We just need to be careful by not throwing trash specially poly bags on roads but instead use community dustbins. If we perform our responsibilities well and don't let corporation have a chance to blame us for the increasing pollution then the roads wont be ponds anymore. Its we who can together make a difference so its us to decide where to live and in what conditions.

Decide yourself which place you want to live.. place like <----- this or place like the one below















Certainly we all will choose a beautiful place like the one above. When we move to countries like America, England then, after spending some years out there when we come back to the place where we have spent our major years of life we just don't like to be in a stinky dirty place. But is that the first time we are seeing or feeling it? When we know that place is dirty then what are we doing to make it a beautiful heaven except to condemn it? It is our Mother Land so cant we do a bit of effort to keep it clean? When we follow all rules and regulations in other countries then why cant we follow them here in India? Why do even people coming from abroad forget that not to spit or throw trash on roads? Only because its India and there is no one to fine them? Why do these people make fun of us when we try not to litter on roads and to stand up for India?

Its high time now.. we all need to wake up and show the whole world that we are far better than what they are. Don't depend on anyone for things which you can do yourself. Just learn to stand up for yourself and for your surroundings. Get united to fight the menace of not only environmental pollution but also of the bad habits which we have developed in ourselves of keeping our surroundings unhealthy. Trust me and trust the voice of your heart this World is a very beautiful place to live in and India is a Heaven on Earth so get together and try to make this place what it was before.. A Real Heaven On Earth.

Nice thoughts.. but you need to draft your posting at least twice before posting.. you should read the complete article once again...

So how about an article on electricity problems and solutions? :) , but in any case you should hold back the article till you are satisfied, never let someone read the rough sketch, or else keep it private till you are satisfied with it and let only a few people read it and get their comments.
All articles are great, and start a flickr stream since you are using your own photos, and may be consider Creative Commons

I was also thinking about writing on electricity problems. Will come up as soon as I get some really good stuff to show on it.

Will surely try either of the two.

Thanks!

I was referring to the scenic beauty that is why there was no name of College anywhere in the post.

I am glad that you liked it.
