In reply to Abhijit Ray. Thank you Abhijit :). I agree that the govt needs to step in and make sure that the implementation is stronger. At the same time the power of persuasion is amazing, people really do respond to that very well. When each one of us owns the place we belong to and show it in our actions, I am sure the others will follow as well, or in other words, it is the development of a movement :)

In reply to Priyashi. Thank you Priyashi :). I completely agree with you. It is our responsibility to create a healthy environment to live in and I couldn't agree more, it is as if it is very easy to escape responsibility and want someone else to do our job for us. And that chalta hai attitude is such a pain.I am sure going ahead, there will be a new rise of people who want to see change and make it happen than the ones who sit around and complain!

On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanthi, I took an oath, not just for my personal benefit but for the benefit of my nation; and that would help NaMo for his most inspiring “Swach Bharat” campaign…

I want to pledge for clean India. I can pledge that i shall not litter. At the same time, i cannot pledge to stop others from littering. For that government needs to form law, authorise people to penalise litter bugs. Other pledges like telling the truth, being kind etc have come and gone, I did not stick to them.

The contribution of Gandhiji for country’s Independence is remarkable. For what I believe, it is now our responsibility to create the place, environment, society where we want to live. We all know what is wrong, aren’t we – but we are lazy enough to stand against it. Everything is “chalta hai”. No Boss – Its high time, I will give up my “Chalta hai” attitude…Thank you Vinay for bringing up this article. I hope more and more people come and give up this covering attitude for misbehaving.

In reply to Alok Vats. Thats really cool Alok :).. I consciously used to avoid littering in public places but from this time onwards I will make sure that I shall try and prevent the others from doing it as well as a part of my moral responsibility. :)

In reply to Ravish Mani. Hi Ravish, Yes, I guess just a couple of mins before this comment we had published the post on LBS :). As for the issue about his death, I am afraid that there is nothing conclusive about it. I no doubt agree that he was an amazing man of his own accord and there are a lot of things that make us mesmerized.

Hmm, I guess I am not going to take any pledge on today, as the pledge which we are discussing about these days are already followed by me in real life :) Thank you Vinay for sharing this blog post….

Well I’d like to remember Lal Bahadur Shashtri also today because Oct 2nd was his birth date too. He inspired people of India to fast one time daily when US banned export of wheats to India. He was the leader who pushed Pakistan into its very interior. He gave the slogan of Jai Jawan Jai Kissan. He was the only PM till date who conducted a successful mass movement in independent India. Unfortunately he was killed in Russia and no one demanded an explanation why his body became blue after drinking a glass of milk.
