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???

its usually that people think that the rules are for others, and that they themselves are 'beyond' such trivial things.
we have repeated notes about separating garbage, my maids get upset at me for insisting on it, cause guess what? No one else in the building does it!!
Seriously. And whats amazes me is : same people when in a foreign country follow every rule in the book. They would never dream of throwing anything on the road. And here? Uh

Not just that, ironically the same Indians who follow all the rules of cleanliness abroad don't bother to follow it in India. What say on this?
@jdb: I have seen boards here like : "No Littering, fine $1000 for littering"..Thats should explain it- 1000 dollar bharne se accha hai litter na karo....Same thing should be done in India..Isn't it? Yahan thukna mana hai...500 rupaye dand hoga.....Just imagine :-)
I don't think it would make much of a difference 'cos they know it is only on paper. 500 ho yaa 1000... It-happens-only-in-India you see.. :-)
