With a purpose, I gave a serial number in the title. Whatever I observe, where people flout the rules with impunity, I am going to give vent to my feelings. It starts from small things. Jumping traffic signals has almost become the rule. I am not going to rave about that. I have learnt to live with that. Nowadays I drive not only for myself but for others too. But there are other instances. Like the other day, a man living in my street (in a Chennai suburb, Guindy)was not willing to listen to me when I protested against his action of using my neighbourhood as his cow shed. He brings a few cows from his herd and ties them around poles near my house to milch the cows. He leaves them there for the whole day. All the cow dung and urine is splattered around in the neighbourhood resulting in proliferation of mosquitoes and flies. I even pointed out that his own young children would be at risk of contracting some disease. When I threatened him with taking it up with the Municipality, he started budging. He has now started doing the same a little farther away from my house so that I cannot object.
This is an exapmle of impunity this generation shows towards rule of law, civic cooperation and care for neighbours.
My observations will continue
The necessity for elimination of characters like Raj need not even be discussed and given any serious consideration. Let us not make them heroes, when they are not even zeroes.They will go down the drain just as they are flooding the media columns.
