How to Stop People Littering on Roads.

How to Stop People Littering on Roads. 

Yamaraja calls out Chitragupta who tracks the human being actions of deeds and evils. Chitragupta calls out the first person and says, “Yama Raja. He has done lots of deeds to you. He is LitterEswaran and has littered India with all his saliva and paan. Bacteria and virus have spread a lot and killed many people. Most of your burden's of taking away people’s life has reduced. He in-fact played a vital role in reducing population and there by contributing more towards the family planning government program"

Yama feels happy and sends LitterEswaran to heaven. Chitragupta calls out second person and continues, "Yama Raja, he is Litterkumar and helped a lot in solving Cauvery Water Disputes. He has thrown lots of plastics into the river and have contaminated the water. Since the water is polluted, the Karnataka Government nor Tamilnadu Government never fought for the share of water later"

Yama again feels excited and sends Litterkumar to Heaven. There comes another person Litter-not-inghania, Chitragupta feels angry on seeing his profile. "Yama Rama, this guy Litter-not-inghania never littered so far. Because of him people ended up manufacturing dust-bins, that too 3 cycled disposable bins. Brooms, mops was also manufactured and thus he has caused a major financial loss to India."

Yama burst out into anger and sends Litter-not-inghania to HELL!!!

Wait. Did I have a hang over yesterday? What am I writing?Supporting Littering? Of course, there is one thing that makes me angry to the core. i.e Littering our Mother India. I hate people who spit and throw non-degradable plastics on the road. Whenever I see people littering, I could not control myself and convey them not to spit on road as much as politely I can. But do you know what kind of response I get from them?

“What’s your problem?”

“Fu**  Off”

“Was it your road?”

“Mind your Business?”

"Its my mouth, My paan, I will do anything"

“unga appa pota road ah?” (Meaning – Was it constructed by your dad, to ask this?) 

Okay, some people keep quite. But give the following expressions. 

There is third category people too. Who don’t scold me in return; never show any off those faces too. But Push lot of saliva to the mouth and spit it with full force. 

Most of the walls, Subways, Public Toilets are littered by people who chew paan and betel leaves. Only dog piss, when it sees a wall or pole. Are you worse than the dogs which have only five senses? Spitting it on seeing the walls and poles? 

Three out of one bus are spoiled because of littering. They don’t care about the people on road. All they are concerned is to offer a free paan shower from inside the bus 

No one loves to say, avoid me. But I do.  Please avoid me. I never die so easily and if you throw me on soil, I can easily migrate dangerous chloride, heavy phthalates and contaminate the environment. - Plastics

Why don’t you consider me burying inside the soil rather than spiting on walls? I am a good bio degradable item.  - Paan

I am the Co-Founder of Bangalore-Hikers and never urge Smoking, chewing tobacco and alcohol consumption during the trekking. There is one more point, which I follow strictly. That is “No Littering”

Nature has gifted us beautiful places. But we are simply spoiling it.

Though every body knows, littering is not a correct thing. People love to do it. So, how to stop others from spitting? 

I don't think so, on placing a board “Don’t spit Here" signs everywhere will help. Because you know what happens? People get curious to spit, whenever they see “Don’t spit Here board”, See what happens in the below picture. 

When I saw the above The Great Indian Litterbug image, I was never surprised. Because I know there are lot of people who is thoughtless and insensitive and take these as their new resolution pledge too. So, how to deal with them? here are few tips to reduce littering. 

• When you find a person spitting on road, appreciate him.

“Wow, that’s a good spit. I simply love the color of your paan. I love the force you gave. It’s simply awesome. I need a favor from you. I hate a person. Can you please spit on him. Please…Please.. I will give you 20 rupees.”

• Throw some sand on the place he Spitted and gave him a smile, which would embarrass him and the next time he may think before he spits. 
•  Install announcement systems all over the places and the traffic police can appreciate the spitting people in mike. 

"Hello Red shirt, standing with a yellow bag, scratching his head now. I appreciate you for spitting on the road. We are looking forward for more supports. We are in sort of paints, so I request you to eat more betel and paint the walls with your art. Keep Spitting. Keep littering!!!" 

The people around him can clap for him and award him the most litter award.

P.S: Though this post is to write about in favor of Littering (humorous take on The Great Indian Litterbug! ), I willingly added the dangerous of Littering.  I love my mother India and I respect it as my mother. So, till my last breath, I will fight against littering and will work for a clean India. 

A healthy child makes a happy home.

A healthy child makes a happy home.

Today I happened to clean my house and came across my personal Journal that I was maintaining from past 25 years. 

March 10th 1990. . .

Today there was a writing competition at my school Organized by Dabur India. The topic was "A healthy child makes a happy home" When I read the sentence, my mind flashed about my uncle Mr. Natarajan who was a multi-millionaire in 1970’s. He is known for his intelligence, Hardworking, good and kind-hearted nature. He had 2 sons - Pari Natarajan and Praveen Natarajan. As soon as he finished his son’s marriage, he divided his complete property into three and offered it to his 2 sons and took one share for him. He told his sons to lead thier own life and to start a business based on thier own interest.

With the money in hand, both Pari and Praveen started a new business. The eldest son Pari Natarajan started Alloy steels. Soon he was blessed with 2 female kids. His business grew and he succeeded like a hell. Mr.Pari recently gave an interview. What was his success factor? He said its because of his 2 beautiful daughters. "They are my inspiration. I go weird on seeing their positive energy and beautiful smile. Every morning, I play with them, go to swimming and the energy I get from kids is unexplained and it motivates the day."

Unfortunately, Praveen Natarajan too started Garments business. He succeeded rapidly than Pari uncle. He started to export the clothes and he started his business worldwide. Everything went smooth until. . .

One day he found his daughter fainted while playing. They took to the hospital and realized that she was having some problem with the heart. They took her to Bangalore. No use of treatments. They found the best hospitals in Singapore and stayed over there for her treatments. He joined his elder daughter in Ooty Convent School hostel, to concentrate on his Younger’s daughter treatments. Months passed. He lost his focus on his business. He was always stressed. He avoided family functions, since he was spending time for his daughter treatments. The business went on loss. I wonder whether god exists in the world. Because he took away the kids life. That point of time, I realized, how Healthy kids play a vital role in a family.

September  29th 1999:

I never liked my wife at the time of marriage. We had lots of conflicts in each and every decision. In-fact I thought of divorcing her. When our hardness was about to reach the peak, she was conceived. We thought its our fate to stay together. But after my son’s birthday, our love towards him made us closer and the intimacy between use us grew. I must say that if today me and wife are staying together it is because of my son's birth. No, its not with the compulsion. But we understood that we have similar interest for our son. Never knew, a happy kid would change a person's life.

August 19th 2013

Today I came from office with a severe head ache and stress due to office work and pressure. My 5 year old kid came running towards me with lots of love and affection. In fraction of second, all my stress wiped off.  That love and affection and his positive energy made me to forget all my stress and head ache.

December 14th 2014
My M.D is very bold and strong. He got a call in-between an important meeting. He excused us and went outside the meeting room to attend the call. All we could hear was a screech sound of our MD.

We are rushed to see what happened to him. He cried and shouted. It took 15 minutes to make him normal. His hands was trembling. We called back the same number and came to understand that his Son's school van met with an accident and his son was hospitalized. Though he was literally very strong, this incident shook him to the core. He sat at the corner of the hospital without knowing what is happening in and around him.

A bright smile lightened his face, only when the doctor said his son is safe and out of danger zone. Kids are very important to one person life and Kids play a vital role in Family happiness.

January 3rd 2015:
My grandma was diagnosed with cancer and doctor said its impossible to cure her. Since it was the duty to take care of my mother, my dad brought her to my home and offered all the medical treatment possible. My son started mingling with her and she started listening to my son naughty stories, his day experience and so on.

Soon, my grandma started walking and felt so active. I won’t say that she was saved from cancer. But yes, she is surviving more than the expected day. It’s all because of the magic of the kids.

When I finished reading my Dairy I learned the value of healthy children.

In-fact, taking care of kids is another sensitive thing. They don’t know what is good and what is bad. They tend to get wet in rain and play in water. They don’t know the impact of getting cold and fever due to it. Everyday freaking traffic, pollution and climatic changes affect the kids a lot. Kids also don't have immunity power as that of adults and hence bacteria's and virus love to go and rule a kids body. I was surprised to see a kid with 100% attendance in school. Its rarely 5 to 10 kids in a school of 10,000.

They eat lots of chocolates and ice-creams and tend to spoil their teeth. They take out their bi-cycle and race with their fellow kids. They are kids and all they know is to face the world without any fear.

So, was it not our duty to protect the wealth of our family the kid? Make sure you include Dabur Chyawanprash atleast twice a day in their diet plan. It has herbs like Amla the best antioxidants and gives you 3X of immunity. It increases Natural Killer Cells that is very much needed for immune system

Upgrade your Car with Quikr NXT

Upgrade your Car with Quikr NXT

This post is purely fictional
I am damn crazy about cars. One of the items in my bucket list is to drive all the cars that are in the world before I die. Of course it’s a realistic wish that could be easily achieved. I could visit all car showrooms and take a test drive. But my pleasure was not in driving all the cars once or taking a test drive. My wish is to own all the cars and explore them. The happiness that I get when I own the car is much more than I take a test drive for just 10 KMS or so. I longed to exchange my car every 6 month.

My idea was simple, Sell my existing car and buy a new one. But practically it’s not possible. May be possible, but it comes with a huge cost.

When you take the car to the showroom and ask for an exchange price, your blood gets boiled when you see the price they quote for the car.  Requesting help from Dealers for exchange is also not a good idea. They simply take a lot of commission charge. So, going to showroom or contacting dealers is a poor idea. The best way is to sell the car yourself to some private party and buy a new one. In order to do this, you need lots of contacts and network. Here comes Quikr NXT which offers a perfect solution for all. Quikr NXT is the best way to trade the car with most profit as well as buy the car of our favorite choice.

Also, Owing a BMW 7 Series car is my dream and when I found that the Starting price of BWM 7 series itself is 1.07 crores(*) and a conditions apply mark next to it. After that, I never dreamed of owning BWM cars.

One day when I was browsing the cars category in Quikr NXT I was surprised to see Jaguar, BWM, Land Rover, and Porsche cars listed in the Brand Name section. My curiosity roared and when I checked the price of BWM the was just Luxury BMW 7 series was sold at Rs. 15,00,000 only. That too with special VIP number.  Now, I am planning to re-visit my bucket list and modify it. Yeah, since I will be getting cars in cheap and affordable prices I can buy own 5 cars and use each one every day.  Monday BWM, Tuesday Jaguar and so on.

The Quikr NXT is very much useful during re-locating. When I first got my job transferred from Hyderabad to Bangalore I faced lot of difficulties in getting the car registration transferred to Karnataka state from Andra Pradesh state. Getting no objection certification from Hyderabad RTO officer was hectic and sluggish. Though I had all the mandatory documents and the insurance was renewed on time, I had to wait for 10 days. Luckily my colleague at Hyderabad asked my car for a good price and I sold to him in Andra Pradesh itself. Then I brought a latest, updated car at Bangalore. Quikr NXT will be very much helpful during those times.
