The Great Indian Litterbug

The great Indian litterbug inside us scared of dying at such a young stage when our honourable Prime minister launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan. The great Indian litterbug still hasn't forgotten the scare of 500 rupees fine which is there in all the major cities. But that scare was beaten easily when he saw the traffic policemen spitting on roads who were supposed to be in charge of collecting those fines. It definitely increased his confidence to spit on roads anytime and anywhere. Such a democratic feeling it was! This confidence grew day by day when he found out the municipal corporations in all the cities appoint people to clean the garbage on the roads. He did the simple math and realized that those working men are getting pain from the tax he is paying. So as a responsible citizen he stopped using dustbins and started throwing garbage from his window directly on roads.

The great Indian litterbug forgot his shame, respect for his country and purpose of life when he started littering. And then there was no looking back because he knew that he was not alone. He never got the opportunity to spit on the walls very first time. The walls were always full of red and he just used to add his share of red. This Swachh bharat abhiyaan was really a big scare against all such litterbugs but when he saw so many people are arranging for garbage to clean it live on TV all the scare and fear ran away. And the big news came, 1 billion dollars funding for the abhiyaan from the World Bank which means the litterbug can happily live till the government spends successfully the 1 billion dollars in abhiyaan.

But truly speaking this great Indian litterbug campaign is the scariest of all. Because it is going viral on social media and we can't neglect the power of social media. From Narendra Modi to Alia Bhatt who got their fame and memes respectively only because of social media. All the litterbugs will now fear that the hidden Times of India journalists and their cameras will catch them in their shameful acts and tomorrow all of them will feature in the next video. Hence I really salute the team behind this campaign because this campaign will kill the great Indian litterbugs hidden inside every Indian! Next step should be the great Indian litterbug awards. All these people who are making our country smelly and dirty should get the worst award in the world. Today we managed to get funding from Worlds bank. We could have used it for unemployment, poverty etc. But we have to use it to clean our streets because some litterbugs forgot their responsibilities. Hence I am looking forward to this campaign which is getting its share of efforts and funding from TOI which will be useful to destroy these great Indian litterbugs and then we can concentrate only on our economic growth and other basic problems. Hope these great Indian litterbugs don’t delete the campaign videos and keep them in the garbage folder on computers called trash instead they will take a broom and will know the importance of cleanliness.

A Healthy Child Makes a Happy Home

The topic is very much true that a healthy child makes a happy home. I have so many personal experiences which really made my parents happy and proud. I was born little underweight and it was never a concern for my family because Indian parents generally don't think to make their child healthy but they just wish that their child must be thin and active. Thanks to my classmates as I was attracted towards various sports from my childhood. I used to go for training in athletics which was a rigorous job at the age of 7 when I joined it. My day used to start with 5 hours school in morning, homework and a little sleep in afternoon and athletics training in evening and dinner, spending time with parents and TV for an hour in night. The schedule wasn't easy for a 7 year old boy but I could live with it only because of health and thankfully because of parents' healthy attitude. The sole reason to join athletics was to stay healthy and fit for which my dad gives very much importance. From my nursery days I used to come first in class without spending much time in studies though it is hard to believe. But this exercise and healthy food made my memory sharp and made me very attentive in school. As the topic says a healthy child makes his home healthy and happy. I always experienced that I was always at the centre of attention at my home. My parents, granny and all the relatives always took care that what I eat and how I take up only good habits and make only good friends. So to make a child healthy and fit his/her whole family started eating healthy food and start exercising which is a lacking factor in India.

I still remember how my dad joined and learned swimming for me. His only favorite exercise was walking. But to teach me swimming he learned swimming and then taught me. I used to go for swimming on weekends when I used to have holidays for athletics practice. I did all these only for fun and I somehow liked to be busy at small age too. But later I realized the effect of those exercises and healthy food prepared by my mother when I started going for treks. I started with Nainital trek and then regularly went into Sahyadri ranges. Stamina the key factor in trekking and I earned in my childhood days. I still remember when my mother was ill because of low hemoglobin content. After that incident I found out she was lesser concerned about her hemoglobin than mine. She started giving all the iron rich food and kept me healthy. She also became healthy at the same time. It was the key. If we make our children healthy then definitely we will keep ourselves healthy resulting in a healthy and happy family.

I always used to like the advertisements of chyawanprash on TV and I always used to ask my mother to buy one. I have tested all the companies and all the types and it really must have helped me because I never got hospitalized and even used to catch cold only once in a year mostly. I will conclude by saying that the concentration of a family always remains on a child which makes the family complete. If a family takes the effort to keep the child healthy and fit then they gets time to concentrate on themselves and apparently they also stay healthy, fit and happy!
