common sense!

Some friend sent me a mail.. it was an obituary message for "common sense". I really don't understand why someone could name a sense "common" when its so uncommon and also when its not among the normal senses of a human being... or does it?

When someone gives horn, we try to give way.. but when we are blocked by a traffic jam.. whats the point in giving horn? I see the samething in a traffic signal too.. when there is a countdown timer and red light is on.. people simply start giving horn when the timer comes to 10,9,8... this is the reason most of the signals are not using the timer nowdays I think... traffic woes is at its best in bangalore.. but pondicherry might soon break it! in pondicherry you gotta watch all the directions while driving... someone used to say if you can drive in chennai u can drive anywhere... later it changed to if you can drive in bangalore.. ucan drive anywhere in the world... soon it will get changed to if you can drive in pondicherry......

never give up

Inspired by the pic here, I decided to draw it myself and did so. This is one of my favorite drawings I have done so far.

Am I the only one?

Hmm.. certainly not about the song by backstreet boys.

I often see people make the place from clean to dirty, dirty to dirtier and dirtier to dirtiest.. finally they avoid that place :) One such example is the beach in pondicherry.. in the morning you can see the people from municipality clean it and make it ready for the day.... as the time pass by people come, look for "cleaner" place and then spend their time ... sitting, chatting, eating.. and then leaving the food waste (disposable plates given for masala poori, peanuts... cups given for tea).. making it a dirty place.. the scene continues throughout the day .. only people who come their change.. but the attitude remains the same.. when they don't find a cleaner place.. you hear them say.... why municipality is maintaining the place so bad :-D and then they settle with a somewhat okish place (which is already dirty).... and then they repeat the same as other citizens.... I also hear people who have gone abroad saying.. singapore is the cleanest place and u know.. u can put rice.. right on the road and eat :-D. When they say all this.. do they realize those are the ones who have made it bad....

Even if its a small paper please please throw it in the dustbins, I should say municipality has done a great job.. by installing dustbins for every 5 feet ... and the best part is the kids (who are fast learners.. either bad or good) get the same habit passed on from the big fellas.... if you need a change, start it from you... and make a better place.. advice kids to throw the wastes in the dustbin... it won't hurt you or the kid by just walking 5 feet(to reach the thrashcan?)...

Am I the only one.. who has such a thought! Believe me when I post this, I do follow what I have said... and whenever I forget to throw the waste paper .. you can see it in my pocket :-D
