Socrates, Jesus, Gandhiji did it… now its our turn
– by Bindu Philip
Today I woke up at 7. As usual I went to my backyard to have a look at my plants, when a strong stench came to my nose. The smell was soo strong that it could not be avoided. Just near to my house a Tamil family is living (they can speak Malayalam also).The house is so near that we can hear it even when they whisper! I said to a lady there that some smell is coming from their house. The lady said that the smell is from the fish heads she threw on their compound!! I was shocked to hear this How can she tell this without any guilty feeling!! Cant she understand that the smell is disturbing us!! She said that as she didn’t hear the waste collectors’ whistle she just threw it out!!
I knew them already because if I am not in my house, they would burn plastic and if I am there they will give it to the waste collector. And the lady used to throw plastic bags with fish in it. And I used to take it to my home and give it to the waste-collector. Nothing new I felt about that incident. Anyway, I decided to go there and collect it again this time. I was shocked to see a big cover full of fish heads!! I took that cover to my home, removed all the fish head. At that time my mother came there and she saw what I did!! My God, she created such havoc that the whole neighborhood came to know about this!!

But all these didn’t stop me from going there again to dig a pit to cover those fish heads. I washed that cover before keeping it inside the waste bucket in my house-compound.
My mother said that this cannot be allowed because diseases will spread from that. I said 3 years back I was ill with chikungunya from the waste thrown all over the same neighborhood compound by another family (many families came there to live on rent). That was the reason I started cleaning realizing that whether the waste is on our compound or on the neighbor’s compound, the end result is disease to all!

But I said finally whatever others think about me, whatever rumors others spread about me, even if they mock me or call me insane, I will continue to clean my surroundings. I remember now the dengue outbreak at medical college and surroundings.-the reason for which is the improper disposal of trash all around the medical college compound-and the sufferers are the people who live in the neighborhood!!

I am sure that nobody is going to understand us but that doesn’t mean we should stop doing whatever we are feeling is right. From time immemorial those who are on the path of truth suffered a lot. Socrates was killed because he said the truth. Jesus was killed because he said what is true. And in India Gandhiji was killed because of the same reason!!
So friends whatever others think about us we should continue to do what it takes us to our goal-a tidy city!

-Well said Bindu
Hmmm all 3 prominent figures mentioned here died in their attempt of telling “the truth” to the world. So are you suggesting its such a fate that awaits all truth-tellers. Gulp what about us TidyCityers?
what ever be the result we should not stop doing our duty means cleaning and making others aware of cleanliness-morover as ‘Krishna’ said do your duty without expecting the results-nishkama karmam.
Bindu, I respect you for the things you do without minding what everyone else will think of you!
Gulp what about us TidyCityers?
Dont worry Cris! I’l try my best to rename the Ani mascrine square near your house to Cris Sita Square after you!
Anyone noticed the repeatition of the content in the post? :O Or am I hallucinating?
and every tidycity member be ready to find some name to give to the respective squares near their houses.=))

Oh dear Bindu when you told me abput the post repetition I thought you were saying I posted the same entry twice – as 2 different posts. I see now what you meant. will delete the copy!
I see now what you meant. will delete the copy!
And she forgot it!
Its still there cris.. Err.. I can do it also.. Sorry sissie!
Society is so dulled in its vision that it should not even come as a surprise if your actions are ridiculed. What you are doing is selfless service. Let us also remember that it is not just us humans who are benefiting from a cleaner, healthier environment.
I felt very happy reading about your strong will on this.
What i dont understand is, why dont your neighbor get the point bindu. guys, we have to do something about that.

yesss there is a law which permits us to clean our negbours compound, there is a law for right air, right environment, we can register a case against them-there are lots of ways- but let us follow the path of ahimsa of Gandhi and patience of Jesus-forgive 7 raised 70 times those who disturb us:)
Yes, non-violence is the path to follow. Gandhiji’s definition was “provocative action, yet non-violent”. The fight is not against individuals, but against the collective mindset of those people who have not bothered to think about such issues, or who regard such issues as irrelevant to their personal lives.
Keep up the good work, friends.
