A bit on Mar 15 clean-up

Will add to that a bit Vids. One, I actually came in Sari and unwalkable heels (yes there is a kind like that; only I get to use it though. Cause only I get to discover them). Bindu kindheartedly offered me one of her salwars and home-sandals, so I was rescued from the embarrassment of looking weird (one of those saris you wouldn’t call clean-up specials) and no doubt, my one-of-a-kind shoes tripping me down every 30 seconds. Now, someone had asked me something about the shoes, what was that now? Ah yes why do I wear them. And I remember who asked it – Me!

When I reached in Sari at Bindu’s house, Bindu was looking at Srijith (who came to direct me to the house) and asked him “Where is Cris?” A minute later she saw my face “That’s you Cris! I thought you were someone else”.
Hmm. No Sari for clean-ups, rule number 1!!!

But well, I used a dozen safety pins for the Sari and they all came in handy for id card clipping! Smart eh?

Another little Cris-crack came when after clean-up we had gathered around Bindu’s sit out and were having tea and snacks. I am a coffee person and completely anti-tea. So when someone asked for a second cup, and I saw one in front of me, I offered it “Take mine, I dont really want tea.”
“Ahem” – that was Srijith. “That tea is mine Cris”
Ouch.
And then I saw another cup on the chair and I say “Ah oh that is mine”
“That’s mine Cris” – from Bindu!
Ouch-2!
Lesson number 2 – do not offer tea cups you see in front of you to anyone.

About the plastic burning advice that Vids said – yes we approached one of Bindu’s neighbors who seemed to burn some waste, including plastic. He apparently knew about the ill-effects since he worked at the Trivandrum Museum. “But its only a little bit of plastic”, he said in defence. I suppose the message of why-no-plastic has to reach a lot of us, well and clear.

Two guys, next to Bindu’s house were surely a positive sign! I was quite happy to find people, for a change, asking us why we didn’t tell them before so they could have joined us! We have been telling everyone how easy it is to be part of this, but no one seemed interested once they knew what we were up to. These guys came out to talk to us and even complain for not letting them in as well. They sure had a point. Next time, we know what to do.
