No change is going to occur in our society unless each one of us change our way of living. No wonder in our earlier days , our parents used to teach us to be truthful, kind etc. Now a days we have forgotten those things and neither teach that to our children who are going to buil tommorrow's soceity. We deserve this bcos we have made this soceity this way. we are not worth anything more than to live in a indisciplined, chaotic, selfish , untruthful , greedy and callous way. THis is what we are and this is what we will get. We will never become shanghai.Some one would say - come on let us be optimistic ..this way we will never move an inch...- What they say is true, we will never move an inch bcos we are unfit. Does any of these so called optimist , go an pick up a paper from the road , or not spit around.. ??? This disease will end only when we end. It is too late. Sorry for this harsh saying.. but it is the truth.

You are right. We are not disciplined. We take approval for one plan and build as per another plan. The civic authorities are right from the process point of view. thats the reason none of them are caught. For saving money we build houses in low lying areas, block drainage. We have to pay a price for this. Already we paid price through floods. I think the next round is such building collapses. Any way a good though provoking article. Thanks to rediff.
