I somewhat agree with your point of view but I cannot discard my nation just because their are poor, illitrate or corrupt people lving here. I always count myself one among them as country men and I will never give up on my country.

You look at developed countries and start expecting everyone else in the world to behave like that. Its not possible in a day, month or a year or maybe in our life time but let me tell you slowly and steadily we are reaching there for good or bad.

we were taught basic manners, so sorry. Please speak for yourself, and not in plural. India is a poor country and needs a lot of help at all levels. Too many people spend their lives saying ‘govt should…’ it is sick and nauseating to hear this. Check what have you done to change things, then comment. Look at Akshayapatra.org, look at aidindia.in. These are run by brilliantly qualified people from good families making a change in India. Akshayaptra feeds 1 MILLION+ people a day – this is awesome. Aidindia teaches basic Rs to 1000 villages in TN. Either do, or shut up. We have too many talkers, we need doers.

I am shocked and really dont understand how u got the idea that I was being rude to somebody here. Pls pls trust me that was never never the intention at all pls.

I beg pardon with folded hands and on my knees from the owner of this blog as well as all readers if inadvertently I hurt somebody.

U r absolutely right. The change must come within us and I am on that path and doing fine, but yes I aint calling myself perfect at all. But if I want to be Mr. Squeaky Clean and also demand a clean earth is it wrong? Pls?

I just mentioned a fact of life in India and it is the TRUTH. The truth howsoever bitter must be swallowed.

Dear Lucky u r absolutely right. But here I am talking about hygiene. What can u do about something lying inside one’s body? U have to let it be. But one can surely do the act of discarding it and cleaning up properly in a more civilized way isnt it? Is it not good hygiene? Am I wrong?

Have u seen the washrooms in railway stations in India? Is it wrong to demand that they be as spacious, well provided, clean and kept clean?

Did u read how much the planning commission spent on their Toilets recently?

Isnt it a fact that builders deliberately scrounge on washroom space and facilities while building commercial complexes as well as residences? Does that not reflect the general mentality on hygiene of people in India?

Is it bad to be Mr. Squeaky Clean??? Tell me is Cleanliness a sin?

Let us face the truth head on and we might be better citizens and keep a better earth for our future generations.

May I know 10 steps that you took to keep YOUR building clean? Or 10 people whom you tried to change? Or when was the last time that you spit on the road?

Indians are clean inside their house, OR in countries where being dirty will attract fines / deportation. Simple.

no clue about your background, but would prefer that you be civil towards fellow readers, and DO something about the change u want to do.

I have a no edit policy, help me keep it that way.

P.S. Inside your body, your own poo is less than an arm’s length from your mouth and nose. How do you deal with that, Mr Squeaky Clean?
