Friends returning from the US have observed how clean the country is, how organized the traffic on the road is,how regular the queues are, how our country pales in comparison etc. I always proffered the population card as our country's inability in such debates.Now, I was on a short vacation to the United States.
I enjoyed the land and its vast space. I admired its clean roads too.Felt happy at their morale even at this period of intense recession.
The following incident by a desi irked me very much:
We were waiting for a ferry ride to Liberty island and this guy kept spitting on the wooden plank. Other than feeling disgusted (like many Americans did) I showed no other reaction.Perhaps if I were twenty years younger I would have certainly gone up to sort his problem."Rajani" behaviour was my wont those days.
But now,
I feel we have a choice to act in a certain manner individually or collectively as a country and I exercise mine and he his. That and no more..
