Written to be Read.. Not to be Ignored


          You might be thinking as to why the header is different. But let us all think for a moment. Bangalore… the city which was called the Garden City, is becoming a nightmare to all its lovers. What has changed in this city that has made everyone scared to go out? Everyone say that it’s become one of the important IT hub of the world, the city that never sleeps, mutil-cultural and now even Metro’s are coming in. But where is the name Garden City gone? Why does it take 1 hour to travel 10 KM’s in bangalore,reason being traffic Jam.
Wherever you see bike’s, cars, lorries and some vehicle’s we don’t even know the name of.  Being a Owner of a Bike or a Car is to be proud of. I agree! But using it for uncessary purposes.. Is that right?  Almost 70-80% of people who work in so called MNC’s, college students provide there own Transport Facility. Then why use our own vehicles and waste so much of Fuel. And we complain that the Fuel rates are hiked every 2 or 3 months. Just think about the fuel depostis we would save and also the amount of polution that would be reduced.  I’m not telling you not use your Own vehicles, but use it wisely. Let us use Fuel and also provide it others as well to be used.
India was never a pour country. We have made it poorer. At every Traffic Signal you see a lot of people still struggling for food and shelter.  We are so generous by giving  them money or food so that they can feed themselves. But who has the courage to tell them not to beg instead give them advice as to what they can do with their lives in order to earn a living. We are the ones to be blammed, not them.
Coming to the government who proposes and analyzes what can be done to improve our state and country. I do agree that they have given so many things to us. They even give us a facitlity to collect our wastage from our doorsteps, but we do litter everywhere. Have Paan’s and spit on all corners possible. Throw ciggarate buds right where you smoke. Paper’s, plastic covers, chewing gums and the list will go on……. Atleast throw it in the side of the road or in the waste- bin’s that are provided for use. We do not have any right to complain about it unless we adhere to it.
Coming to our taxes. How many people pay their correct tax amounts? Might be 10% of the current population pay their taxes without fail and false proof’s to cover it. Let’s pay our taxes correctly to the government. Atleast make contributions to Welfare organizations so that atleast you would have a sastisfaction that some is happy and the money is worth it. Any which ways you can show the contributions you have made which will reduces your taxes.
I still remember those days when there was shade everwhere by means of tree’s. Now it’s only dust and  smoke everywhere. If one form each house plants 1 tree, imagine the amount of greenery we would have in bangalore.  Come on bangalore let’s change the city we live in and make it the best city in the world. Let’s us be an example to other’s saying that this is how we live.
I’m goin to change and be the real BANGALOREAN!!! If you all are with me then tell the world that we”ve changed.
