Our Decorated Roads

Certain sights become so common to our eyes that whenever we see them we tend to overlook, but to an onlooker and any newcomer it might be remarkable and disgusting.

 There are many sights that are generally witnessed in most of the Indian roads. Littered garbage, for example, lay strewn around the public dustbins as if someone’s effort to perfect his aim has failed him repeatedly in throwing his waste into the bin, or maybe those garbage were too beautiful to be confined into the bin. In places of no dustbins the roads are decorated with variety of pattern of dumped waste sometimes even releasing their fragrance imploring the pedestrians’ attention towards itself. Even the busiest man takes his time to appreciate the elegance of the strewn garbage. Some people remark saying why is nothing done about them. Little do they realise that the aesthetic value added to the roads by the virtue of well planned dumping of the garbage is irreplaceable. The garbage which would have been recycled losing its identity, have found a new incentive to live without losing their identity. This is not something any ENVIRONMENTALIST would ever understand.

There are some warriors fighting an endless battle to clean our city with the intension of keeping their vicinity disease free, but what good is health without beauty?

Some people involve themselves to cleaning to show our visitors from foreign countries a clean India. Why do we bar them from having the sight of decorated roads? Or is the scenario so blatant that it is solely for our countrymen?

Whatever it is, or however one takes this fact, the fact remains a fact and the fact is that THE CONDITION IS ALARMING and needs immediate change.
