Life in a Metro - II

Ever thought of people who make our lives in these overconjusted cities comfortable:

1. A railway motorman/ Local Bus Transport Staff, who run their services, whatever may come...heavy rain, floods or a full fledged terrorist attack;
2. Municipal Corporation Employees working in various departments be it the cleaning, water supplies or any other such public service department - People who try to clean up all the dirt and garbage we drop on the road without giving a second thought, people who face the ire of public for lack of water supplies or for dirty public places. Ofcourse people dont realise that they are more responsible for all this. They spit Pan/ Gutka and defaecate in public places, waste litres and litres of clean drinking water in washing their vehicles and then righteously blame the government and the people running it;
3. Police who maintain law and order including Traffic Police - Ever imagined what it would be like to be a police officer under constant pressure from seniors officers and politicians or facing a continuous danger to his and his lovables' lives from criminals and yet stands a brave face before compromising - Ofcourse, we are all humans and I just imagine, what would I be like, had I been in their positions. Ever observed a Traffic Policeman standing on a busy square while the traffic lights have malfunctioned due to heavy rainfall, while he his still there - in the rainfall and trying his best to manage the traffic;

The list of such people would be endless, who without asking your caste or religion serve you day and night, try their best to make your lives comfortable without bothering about the lack of amenities at their own homes for their family - their lovables.

Last but not the least, before raising a finger towards them for being corrupt, being slow and all the other not so good things about them, lets have look at ourselves, have we been absolutely honest all our life? Do we pay all your taxes honestly? Do we have the civic sense to abide by the traffic laws, to not spit/ not urinate/ not throwing garbage in public places? Do we clean our pet's dropping from public places when we take them around for a stroll?

Thanks to these people with whose efforts, we are able to be comfortable in a city like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangaluru or any such place.. Its been their efforts only that we are able to sit cozily in our offices and homes and criticize them for not doing their worth.

And why only big cities, this applies to each and every city, town and village..


Let all of us help ourselves..
