Whose seat is it anyways?
My new job requires me to travel for a solid 1.5 hrs one way, which includes 30 minutes by Delhi's metro and another 60 min by local bus. Now I do understand that for all the people going to work getting a comfy seat is damn tempting. But for Christ sake how can we guys (that too not all) be all chivalrous to part with our seats for a girl but same does not goes if the person standing is an old dirty looking guy who is trembling and cant even stand straight or a poor lady with a baby etc. The most ironic part is that most of the youngsters turn a blind eye and pretend as if they can’t see it all. Why are we turning into animals?
And now lets put you (yeah you dude or you not so dude) on the pedestal. Imagine 20 years from now when you would be probably 50 yrs. You are traveling my a local transportation system and there are these kids all sprawled up on the seats. Now that you don't have the strength so you get tired and your hands start aching. Your palms are sweating and people around you are suffocating you to a choking puke.
Now my friend do you realize that in life its good to GIVE and see the smile on other peoples face. How good would it be if all understand this simple point of life while we are in our prime rather than retrospecting it the tough way when we are old?
If the system and moral values are eroding its because no one is doing anything about it.
Do you remember the beautiful formations we used to form during republic day celebrations, on the ground for that magnificent aerial view? We were just supposed to stand in the said position. and when everyone did it the formation became a magnificent beauty. Same is the case with reforming the system.
We all have to do our small teeny-weeny part for e.g.
*DO NOT OGGLE AT FEMALES
*BE COURTEOUS AND SOFT SPOKEN
*DO NOT LITTER IN PUBLIC
*BE PROUD OF YOUR COUNTRY
Now the above said things just require that initial conscious effort and once that initial thrust is provided you cruise in your daily life with all these values strongly embedded in your moral fabric and you become a responsible citizen. Imagine if everyone does it, what place would we be living in? Please think, it really is a small thing but can have a BIG effect.
