To pee or not to pee...

Yesterday, I was going to the market, when i saw a man standing against the wall of an establishment- attending to nature call. In todays fast pacing times, when even the newspapers' have incurred a section called "INDIA POISED", is that what we are heading towards. And its not only that indians (this time I'm intentionally not using the word "WE") have restricted themselves to peeing in public places, wrong doings can be spotted in every walk of life here. Be it an officer accepting bribe, drivers drinking and driving (not to mention the consequences), forcing the brides to commit suicide for dowry (and if they don't, well burn them...who cares ???), peeing up against the wall barely makes the list. The list is endless...

And to worsen the situation, no one cares, not even the authorities. Who should be blamed here ??? The authorities alone are not strong enough to clean the filth from society...not anymore atleast. But it doesn't exempts THE PEOPLE either. WE watch some unjust activities happening and WE walk away (deny it or accept it, but this is the fact).I think its time to let go of the fear, let go of the "Why should I ?" and start acting up. Society is going topsy turvy only because we let it. If we didn't do anything now, then the only thing that we can wonder is:
Who will survive our lack of repercussion...???
