The uncommon sense

April has just started and the water shortage is already in place.

Just two days back, there was a similar shortfall in the PMC supplied water. The watchman did his duty of going to every flat and saying "Peene ka pani bharke rakho"

Half an hour later, i can hear some water splashing outside. Go out only to discover that the upper floor people are washing their terrace with buckets full of precious water. I was simply dumbstruck for a moment. Do you call them ignorant or stupid? Or simply deaf? The watchman had to leave his "watching the gate" duty and go all the way to the 5th floor - just to tell them to stop.

Its was beyond making me angry. All i could do was pity their brains. Gosh...When are we going to have the 7th sense- CIVIC sense???
