THINGS TURN AROUND

THINGS TURN AROUND

Just a few years ago, I thought that the place where I reside is almost ideal. It takes 5 mins and minimum fare in an auto to go to the station, one end of the lane is a dead end, so no traffic no honking horns..basically a peaceful life. In an apartment having just 6 flats, water would never be a problem at all. But year by year slowly but surely the things have turned around. Today the same peaceful place is nightmare..so much so that the old or the disabled cannot even think of attempting to cross the road….the horns are a constant nuisance…in the speed of life people are forgetting the basics that when you are passing a residential area you should control the urge to honk…Both sides of the road have been declared no parking zones….and there is no parking lot in our apartment…so now, while the Government is making money fining the car owners, we are at the mercy of neighboring society to allow us to park our cars. The water cut is so much that now there is no enough water for all together not more than 20 people. The irony is that the 5 star hotels , I have seen, waste so much of water and they don’t face a cut. What is the priority, basics or luxury, I can’t fathom!
