The place where I live is quiet untidy with a vertically long slum going along and across the whole road and is located almost 5 to 6 streets away from my home.

I never knew about it till one day I went with my husband to the car parking area that’s across the slum. I was devastated and so distressed to see that untidy place filled with big piles of trash. Filth and unbearable smell of the trash and debris! Young children were playing at that untidy place.

It was difficult to cross that place even with the mask, the smell and sight were unbearable. I had to leterally hold back my breath in order to walk down to the other end of road. I asked my husband if there was a way to eradicate this trash from there and clear it out.

My husband is a Civil Quality Control Consultant by profession, I suggested him we should dump out the trash from there to a barren place and make it clean & tidy; fill the small canal now a slum with concrete and make a beautiful sitting place for passers by and plant some fruit bearing trees, put some benches as well.

It was of no use, as my husband takes my suggestions as abnormal ones. So as usual my ideas were dumped like the trash piles lying there for and since ever!! .

We are still staying there as its the home place of my mother in law and she has her bonds but neither she nor anyone else haven’t seen the mountain of mess made by us humans. We have survived such a major life taking threat of COVID 19. Still there’s no one noticing that area.

It’s big burden on my soul along with a lot of other stresses. I feel so sad and helpless whenever I have to paas through that area.

There are many instances like this to relate as above. The point here is that people have been staying here since ages and none has ever thought to come up with any solution of cleansing. Just like robots they are leading their lives, flowing with the tides of time; without sense or sensibility.

They don’t see the filth, don’t sense the bad odor that’s spread in that place. If they concentrate around their surroundings, there is lot to be changed. The untidy area has created a negative impacts on minds of people living in surroundings.

A lot needs to be fixed, to be improved and eradicated completely. They are leading their lives as per the flow of tide.

We have simply thrown ourselves to the tides of time and are just floating on it aimlessly. We float where ever the flow takes us. Like a log of wood or husk.

We don’t see any fault, any flaw any discripency around.

All that matters is our own selves. We have become so selfish and self centered that even if a theft occurs in our neighbours no one is going to catch the thief. Instead they post the video of thief stealing and running away with it. Thus encouraging more thefts to be repeated or perform a bigger crime next time!!

This is what our society has turned into. Its so discouraging and distressful to see the fate of our generation and the generations to come growing up in such a cold blooded & cold hearted place where breaking a bad norm is considered a sin.

The one who abides is abandoned. While those are praised who stick with such useless misguided, unethical, hypocritical practices prevailing.

It’s high time to get up and do some manly work around your areas. You should stand up, become volunteers, look for those who need help, are in distress, sick or anything that needs to be fixed.

This will work as a thresher to the cold blooded barriers, man made obstacles. Its tiring, exhausting, painful journey..

But at the end your conscious is content. You can sleep peacefully without any need to take any sort of steroids.

The more content hearts are, the more they spread positives vibes along.

Become that one beat to make a different sound.

Dont float with tide…………..

Go against it like swimmers and win the race against harsh currents of water.🏊‍♀️🌊
