PUC..!! (Pollution Un-Controlled)

What funny world we live into. We only see what others wants us to see. We only hear what we are told about. We sympathise but are not ready to empathise. We stand firm pointing all our fingers on the safer side of the table, but when the table rotates we hide right beneath it.  We notice the aberration, but still we un-see it till we are shown.  And once seen, we create huge noise unless someone turns the table onto us!! And then we finally tend to forget.

But how far can all this be tolerated!! Nature needs the due justice! Enough of blame game had happened. Its time to retrospect. Lets not simply pity the showcased senarious but as well realize it being around us.  Let us not say 'chalta hai' anymore.

The cliche here is, as an individual how much can we really do to save our basic right of breathing fresh. The government and the officials are blind at the facet of precious. I wish to draw the attention to the various breach of humanity occurring in my vicinity that really disappoints.

1. Industrialization is good, and the need of hour for our country. Still can we afford it at the cost of lives of fellow citizens. Industries burn huge dump of prohibited articles and fire theur chimneys. The poor people /labors dwelling n working around such industries constantly endanger their lives. And Capitalist and Government fill their pockets from the extra money offered by the offenders as bribe.

2. Private vehicles are for comfortable transportation. But today its not amenity but a luxury. We tend to smoke up so much of essential form of energy, while travelling for work and leisure. In all the affluent families each member has owns his/her bike/car. I have heard and also believe on the idiom "Time is Money" but in the given scenario when we see the Oil price on soaring side only, Money and energy can also be saved by waiting and accommodating others(Friends, Family, Colleagues, Neighbors) to travel together, and save on the fuel and unnecessary pollution. On weekends and holidays most of us tend to go for aimless rides and drives. One should really ponder before embarking on such foolish activity. I am sure there are other means and better means of entertainment.

3. Burning for rituals/ for waste overs/ or rubbers, is another grave area where we have to blame ourselves for thoughtful negligence. Burning of woods, cowdungs, coals, for havans, holi, etc. is a common practice in our country. For collective festivals like Holi, we want to burn our own personal edifice of Lord. Which ultimately boils down to 5 - 10 such burning processions taking place in a vicinity of 5 Kms. I do not get the point of burning so many piles of wood at such near to each other place. When the festivals are occasions to come together we are not just destroying the objective but also creating unnecessary wastage and pollution.  How can we be so insane.
As far as the burning of wastes is concerned, we do not waste for Municipal Corporation to handle the waste we want to manage that ourselves. How foolish can it be to burn the waste to make it light and travel in air. Wow! What a way to get rid of it. But, hey are we actually? Imagine a situation where every household of the city starts doing the same. It would be such a polluted environment, the smoke of burning, the ashes travelling with air all throughout. Even its imagination generates nausea.

To not to make it big, I just want to conclude saying, "Lets act Humans". Lets think about the bigger picture before acting personal. Its time we THINK. Think the longer effect of our not-thoughtful acts.
