A popular saying these day’s in Bengaluru is that we have drifted from being a – Garden City to a Garbage City, more so when the saying is accompanied by a seeming perverse delight, as if the person in question is in no way involved and filth and garbage appear and disappear on its own accord.
I have always held that the normal Bangalorean is a spoilt brat. A tantrum throwing adolescent who takes things for granted and complains about almost anything – its too dirty, its too sunny, its too windy, policemen are too strict or too lenient and the litany goes on and on and on.
The other day waiting at a traffic signal, I spied upon a family at my fore in a car. The kid in the car was either a poor traveler or had had too much to eat and was violently vomiting through her window while her mother looked on rather nonchalantly. The upshot was that the car side was soiled much to the chagrin of the family. What followed was bizarre! The mother uncorked a bottle of water and proceeded to clean up the side of the car, oblivious to the filth that she was creating around her on a road that did not solely belong to her and her family. Having soiled the road they just drove on, as did I with two wheeler whizzing past on adjoining footpaths that are supposed to serve the pedestrian.
My anger was so great that I shot the lady, in question on my mobile camera of course!
