RE:RE:I am Shilpa Shetty!

Hi,
Above all of what you said, We must love our country irrespective of how is it. That it when we start working for betterment. If I see someone criticise India, as if all other countries are doing well, I call them as anti-nationals. People are human everywhere and basic natures dont change.
I went to UK, US, Canada and many countries. I see people saying sorry, excuse me, Thanks in each of their sentenses, all people religiously follow traffic rules and maintain cleanliness. However I explored further and all I understand is they are no different from us. They follow rules because rules are very strong and violation has strong implications. I also see negative points like violent children, Perversions, Single mothers and psychopaths. Once again these are results of country laws. In UK you cant control children beyond a point. Your kid demands and threatens you if you say something they dont like.
So what is the fun of criticizng our country? Whatever it is we must love India and our fellow Indians. If certain things are wrong we must work for how to resolve them.
From myside, I started educating my kids of showing concern to others in shared places. For example, I told my kinds that if you want to go somewhere early, start 15 minutes early instead of crossing red lights. Dont block free left riders. Dont drive in wrong ways. Dont overtake others for a race (Do racing in big grounds). For all this, I explained them that road is a shared resource and we cant get just what we want at the cost of others. My approach was to make people within my control understand and show concern to others.
From the Govt side, it may be approach to make law strong to make us show concern by force.
