![]() Little acts of kindness and thought from us would make a lot of difference to needy people. Offering water and Juice to passengers, students, peoples would make a real difference during summer months, when temperatures soar to up abnormally. This is what peoples of my city are doing these days. Many local organizations and social activists are offering water and juice to passengers, school students, and hapless peoples. This is one of the best things one can do during summer months. Our little acts can make a real and tangible difference. Last week, while I was in market I saw some peoples are offering water and juice to every people visiting the road. But when I see the road, it really broke my heart. Road was full of plastic glasses. Yes!! They were using plastic glasses. I really appreciate the idea of offering water during summer months and truly respect their intentions but this is what I don?t like in the name of social work. Using plastic glasses in such a huge amount and dumping the roads and surrounding are not at all good practices. I don?t get why we have so many double standard people under the tag of social activist? Why there are so many categories like- Environmentalist, Child education and rights and Women Empowerment? (I agree that every issue needs different approach and experts but don?t we have some common responsibilities/duties towards our society? Is keep cleaning the road and city is just limited to municipality? ) Is caring of Environment is just limited to environmental activist or child education & rights, poverty and women empowerment is just limited to their activists? I really hate this mentality of peoples. In India we all used to talk a lot about ?Clean India Campaign? but when it comes to the ground level we all refuse to do our bit. Is this what we are doing to support our national campaign? Of course Yes, Sad but true! This article and the picture is the best example of reality and double standard nature. |
