Mumbaikars

While the mumbaikars have the knack of coming through difficult situations they also several bad traits. One of them is keeping the city unclean. There are several slogans/proverbs likes of Cleanliness is next to godliness; Clean Mumbai, Green Mumbai which absolutely make no sense to mumbaikars.

Slogan of Mumbai should be as under:
"We mumbaikars take it upon us to make sure that all corners in all public places are dirtied red by spitting gutkha, it is our responsibility to throw waste papers, gutkha wrappers and biscuit wrappers out of running trains, taxis, cars and buses. It is imperative that we open the door of our air conditioned car at all traffic signals to spit gutkha on the road"

Mumbaikars, look at what's happening to our city, we have dirtied all public places by plastic litter and dirt. Now that the rains have begun, we cannot miss the stench that this 'Kachra' is creating. We would not be able to survive like this! one day the 'kachra' is going to come into our houses and offices and choke us to our deaths; and righty so, unless we change the way we treat public places and our city in general. Couple of years back this kachra caused immense flooding in the city.

New Local trains were launched in Mumbai recently, nicely coloured in while and light purple; we made it a point to change the colour near the doors and under the windows to red within a weeks time (by spitting gutkha).

This is not done!!!Do we also do this at home???

We mumbaikars should stand up for the cleanliness of the city including the public places.
From today I have decided to boo any person spitting at public places or throwing dirt or answering natures calls on walls. I would also try to direct them to the nearest dustbin/loo.
Urge all to join me in this drive and keep our home, i.e. the city, clean.

P.s. Gutkha is a chewable mixture mainly containing tobacco, which has to be chewed and then spit as it is not potable...Kachra in local language means waste.
