Just Like That

It has been more than a month that i have actually tried or thought about writing a post. I thought about changing the way I think while writing. I mean why only finance and fun???? I can always go ahead write things that are happening all around us.

Shall I talk about my hometown? Kolkata is a wonderful place, the city of joy, warmth of people, the bengali rosogollas etc etc. However, many would not admit the coarser version of the same city. The atrocious drainage which leads to flooded streets during monsoon. There is a major part of the population who survive on the pavements. Nobody has ever thought about a shelter for them. During the monsoon floods, these people face the most severe crisis. Why only them? Talk about people living in concrete houses, they are restricted to their beds sometimes just because water has oozed into the ground floor of the construction.

Since the past (God knows how many) few years the corporation has been correcting the problem. However we still do not see any proactive solution to it. Only after three days of severe water logging and incessant rainfall, bringing the politicians down on the streets, the Govt. used their pumps to suck water out of the city.

The effects were not limited. Broken streets, damaged houses, transport problem, dirt, all together made the city look like a newly formed junkyard. Thats how the Govt has planned our future and these are the aspects we bank upon. How safe is the future.....our present decides it.

So now its on the concerned people who has to either let go or save our lives.
