Chalta hai



At my recent trip to Mumbai (India), I noticed a lot of amazing things such as a cleaner environment and lot of efforts at beautifying our beloved city. But, amidst this process of a positive change for making our city beautiful, I noticed that we "Mumbaikars" are still not able to change our "Chalta hai" attitude. Our beautiful roads are full of traffic due to the irresponsible behavior of our so-called Mumbaikars!! 

Its a shame that educated citizens of the country do not have the civic sense to follow the lanes on the roads and the traffic lights. When a road has a one-way sign board, people still break the traffic rules and enter the road from the wrong side and if a Police Officer tries to correct such people, they post the cop's picture on social media and Blame him for being corrupt. Why, in the first place, do such people break the law? I was amazed at the way the bikers and the rickshaws drive, they drive on the footpaths and overtake from the wrong side all the time. 

Stop complaining about the pot holes and the road constructions guys and take some responsibility for your own behavior. If you want the nation to really progress, then why not start by making a change in yourself?? It is very easy to find people to blame, that's what we always do, it is very easy to blame the government and the officials for the problems we face. But isn't it our responsibility to behave in a civilized manner to create a civilized society for ourselves and our future generations? One must realize that it is not easy for the police officers to control such a big population as ours, they stand in such hot temperatures simply to make our lives easy, and all we do is blame them for all our problems even when we are at fault!! The police officers are human beings just like you and me. Our nation needs a generation who stops saying "Chalta hai" and starts taking responsibility for their own actions. A change will come only when you change. Be the change that you want to see in the world.
