What did you do for your India today??

The IndiBlogger forum is now a read-only archive. Every public discussion is still here to read, but new topics and replies are closed.

Ok so let me tell you how this works... All of us think that a lot needs to be done in India for things to change. Some of us want to do things for our country to change and become a better nation with great citizens who are better human beings. I believe that there is nothing like a selfless deed. So, anything you do for our country will directly effect you. Lets start writing what each of us do to contribute for our Nation and in turn inspire others to join in. It can be anything.

It might be that you initiated a car pool at your office to reduce pollution and traffic. May be you fought with your neighbor who wanted to cut an old tree outside his house for making space for his car or may be you proposed the idea of putting dustbins around your locality to reduce the garbage lying around.

You could have sponsored a kid or you might have just taken a walk to the market to contribute by not using your car and being a fitter and active Indian. Absolutely anything....

So, let me kick start this topic...

 Today, I did two things

First... I watered the trees (the ones you see on the side of the streets) outside my house

Second... I kept my cool and avoided a traffic jam from happening...

Good topic.

Problem is there are m0rons like me out there who just sit back, relax and give sarcastic comments if others do something good.  However, at times we too do good things, not because we are great, but because there are greater m0rons out there who are worse than us. So here are somethings that i didnt do unlike many of my colleagues today

1. Did not use the hand drier at office rest room

2. Did not use the lift while going just 3 floors above

3. Did not take a green pledge in front of 7 flood lights(in broad daylight), 4 video cameras and done in an air conditioned hall.

4. Did not go and congratulate the superboss who got a promotion(recession guys, recession! so your hike is halted)

Well Santosh.. Thanks for the appreciation and second Honesty goes a long way. Even small steps taken as individuals can make a major difference. I hope you continue doing your bit :)

I always make it a point that i dont throw wrappers of gums, lays etc on the way or at stations. I put them in ma bag and carry it home and dump it in my dust bin. I still remember the 26th July floods in Mumbai and up to some extent these plastic waste was also the culprit.

I must say a great effort.We always do bak bak bak (hindi words) about what our netas and police should do for our country.But we never  look at ourselves.This post will provide a great oppertunity to realise actually how we are contributing to our country.We have turned in men (women included) of words only now lets be men (women are also welcome) of action.OK I should stop bak bak ;oops:

What I did today

1)when I bought few things from a shop.I asked for the bill.

2)Asked my friend to purchase a platform ticket before entering the railway station.He was like lets go inside without ticket.

Actually, a big pat on the back for Mukund. Now let this be the platform also to share ideas our on how can we improve our lives and that of fellow Indians.

Thanks Hemal... This post started because I really needed ideas which we can do in our day-to-day lives. I actually feel that If we all take care of our own well being and encourage others to do the same that is all we need.
