Do your bit!

Gazing into the sky, painted with the little shiny stars, I stop to wonder how many of them are down on this planet! With minute on minute facebook (:) feeds, it amazes me to see the shining talents all around… novices to experts in varied areas, with unique talents and interesting approaches. Feels good to be a part of such a talented world but at the same time it leaves you drained to see the alarmingly increasing negative impact of human beings on their peers, children, kith & kin, and top it all to our beloved nature!

Why so, is the question that lingers…how and when will this realization hit every individual is a point to ponder. We no more have the luxury of time to realize & rectify at our own pace because the Nature is catching up with us already. From what we see, she is fast & furious! By the way, it’s not only trespassing nature’s boundaries but also an individual’s (known to unknown, related to acquaintance, infant to the oldest, poorest to the richest, abled to differently-abled, whoever) boundary.

So what do we do other than repenting, blaming, criticizing, being a cynic? Not that I’ve a magical wand to fix it all or get us a feasible solution; but what I do is my bit…and do note that I may not have perfected in these but still the moment I realize something is amiss, I try to fix it… Starting from the simplest of things:

• Not throwing any dirt anywhere else other than the dustbin (J there are many who would want to throttle my throat for the endless reminders I give them on this)
• Not wasting water
• Minimize the wastage of food (yet to reach the ‘Don’t waste a morsel’ stage)
• Try to reuse / give any remains (food, dress, etc) to the wanted
• Encourage recycling (Daffy, my friend, cheers to your idea of recycled bags)
• Save electricity whenever possible – by merely switching off when not in use
• Converting to paper bags / cloth bags  etc from use of plastic bags (just started)
• Not to tamper with trees / plants & teach kids not to tamper with plants
• Plant small greens
• Learning to Respect every human being for What they are
• Learning to Accept every human being As they are {novice-> intermediate as of now}
• Need an immediate STOP on my road rage – I mean my response to the never-ending atrocious traffic behavior in any place that I’ve visited so far…
• Practicing not to hurt people by my reactions {mainly when am irritated}
• Learning from kids all age (observe them and touch back on your deep-hidden kid-corner)
• Constantly be aware of my slips, mistakes, boundary crossings & realize the need to change myself

Not a mere ‘wish list’ but seriously I am doing or trying to do them… There’s many more yards to travel personally… But for all of us, I would like to depart with a small thought of mine “Let’s not see ourselves catching our breath in this race against Nature…” Do your bit!
