The Great India Litterbug!

Hold your breath. Now I will tell you a story of that litterbug who takes bath in public and a crow teaches him some mannerisms.

I am posted 100 kms away from my hometown. So I travel by train daily. One morning my train was late by 15 minutes. The train in which I was travelling was at platform no. 2 and another train was already parked on platform no. 1. A man came down on the empty railway track in between from the train which was parked on platform no. 1. He first spit tobacco on that empty track from his mouth. Cleaning staff members were cleaning that track and had already cleaned that part of it. Due to the dirt on the there were lot of insects on that track and cleaning staff was removing that dirt. Then that man came down and spit (we call that it a pichkari in this part of India) from his mouth and insects were back on it.

Cleaning staff went on a break and that man noticed that they are gone. There was pipeline attached on that track on which lot of taps were attached. Taps were for cleaning staff to get the water from that to clean the tracks. That man saw that there is no cleaning staff. So he removed his clothes after putting the towel on and put them on the pipeline. He opened one of the taps and started taking bath. If his spit was not enough to spread the dirt that he started cleaning the dirt of his body on the track. He was enjoying his bath pretty well. He was such a litterbug.

Wait. It does not end here. The climax of a story is yet to come. A crow saw that man bathing from its naked eye. Then that crow came down from the height and sat on that pipeline and slowly slowly came near to his underwear. Meanwhile that man was still enjoying his bath. The crow finally came and sat on his underwear but that man still does not noticed that. Crow picked up that underwear and flew away. That crow was a follower of our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and believed in clean India. People who saw that died laughing. It was a great lesson for that litterbug taught by the crow. Till now we only knew the story of a thirsty crow but now we also have a story of a clean India movement crow to narrate to our kids.

Red walls and dirty roads and places does not look good. People of our country needs to understand this or should start spitting on their house walls and should start throwing trash in their rooms as well if they do not understand their responsibility towards the country. The great Indian litterbug is a great initiative by the times of India to stop it by laughing on those who do it. I have shared a small story. To know more about it click here.
