“Rain brings
happiness” but guess that is not the actual case nowadays as we
cringe at the thought of knee deep water making us sail through the
roads and putting us through the hardship of getting jammed in the
traffic. The more I think, the more I realise the serious
consequences.
The climate was so
awesome making it all the more pleasant for picturesque photos posing
in the rain and traveling in empty bus to office .All thanks to the
holidays declared for schools and colleges. But then the reality
dwelled in when a dead cat fell from the sheets of the covered car.
That is the reality we all ignore comfortably. It is nothing but a
representation of people getting stranded due to heavy rain.
Let us not blame the
encroachments in lakes and rivers(at least for now) as it is not the
right time. Moreover the Govt. has also generously approved all the
lakes in the city to turn into well established Residential
establishments.
The plight of a common
man is best understood in the serious traffic disaster the city
experienced. Just a km took 2 hours long journey. One could easily
see the plight of people getting over delayed to their
destinations.Why does it happen? Let us all forget about the
Government for a while.What have we done in such a crisis? Have we
ever been more sensitive towards such situations? I see people
cursing and getting into an argument with the bus drivers for the
delay. Can we all please be a little more understanding? The hateful
words would be of no use whereas a calm crowd would be of great help.
Public transport has the utmost responsibility of taking care of the
people during such situations and that is the reason plenty of people
rely on it, yet we fail to acknowledge them at right times.
The best thing we could
possibly do in such a situation is to remain calm or get off the bus
and walk to our destinations. But we were hell bent on calling our
family to our rescue and making the scenario all the more worse.
Imagine an ambulance
trying to get past the traffic. It cant get worser than that.
If there is something
the country is of great need, it is the self discipline of the
citizens. Good Governance is possible only with self disciplined
citizens. We all cringe at the thought of immersing our feet in the
water yet spit in it as if that doesn't affect us. Stagnant water
minus the spitting would do so much favor.
Rain brings more
happiness if we all could be more self disciplined.
Nice write-up :)
