Where is your common sence???

Our country is full of beauty. I guess you just need to look around. I know that you must be thinking that it is equally dirty crowed and full of uneducated people. That is true to an extent but that doesn’t mean that we ignore the beauty or make no effort to make our surroundings better. Forget that atleast we should make an effort to not litter around or atleast not spoil monuments and public property. I know I am sounding as if im ready to give a lecture but im in no such mood. Its just that a visit to the forts made me realize that we have a great heritage but most of us just want to spoil it. I mean why would any normal human being scribble on walls of these monuments…u don’t do that at ur place, do u…I mean in that case it is understandable coz that is the way u are and no one can do anything about it. U are born to spoil things rather than do any good. And if you don’t do that to ur bed room walls then why scribble your lovers name with yours and all that…will scribbling make your love stronger or you just wana show off to ur girl friend how cool and devoted u r y making stupid hearts all over the place… I mean it is a question which will remain unanswered coz I guess people who do it themselves wunt be able to explain why they do it. K this is not it, one goes to such places to appreciate art or heritage or beauty and I mean artistic beauty but SOME just go to appreciate a different kind of beauty….girls …I mean how wela can u be… u have nothing to do in this busy scenario except for looking at the tourists. I mean im sure the nice girls wunt even bother to give u a single look forget a second look. And im also writing all this but cant do anything about it. Common sence is something that CANNOT be gifted to anyone. I mean these are basic things that you don’t need to be told. And if though there is no need, there are a number of posters which ask you not to scribble or dirty a place or guide u to a dust bin. I guess even more than education what is important is your being a decent citizen and that is the only way people will stop complaing and make an effort to make this country a lot better than what it is…so wat say…should we all start from ourselves.

despoiling the monuments is a forever problem in this country. not just the people, administration is equally callous. when i was working on a delhi special issue, i was appalled to see the state of the monuments. thanks for your response on the 'dada never dies' article.

I agree completely on this issue. Inspite of a few NGOs taking up the issue seriously, the govt. has never taken any firm step.

Nice blog!
Keep posting! :)

i would like to share an experience on reading the blog..
I have been living in Paris for a few months..
I found it really amazing that in museums like Louvre(I hope you have heard of it),few of the most expensive paintings are kept at an arms length of the tourists.With only a rope separating us from the painting.No visible security.Obviously security cameras are there.This paintings are prone to damage if photographed.All they do is write no photograohy to prevent it from it.In the palaces, everything is restored and kept in a similar manner.I could walk and sit in Napolean's throne.But it was WRITTEN I am not allowed.
I guess I wrote a blog here also.But thats my favorite activity any way.
