True, I shouldn't be exhibiting this much of disgust towards the very system that keeps you and me alive to name the post so.I'm being clearly drawn towards Libertarianism these days, I very fiercely guard my own space. I really wish i could claim a square metre around my feet, wherever they are, to myself dry and stink-free.
But ofcourse, there are heavy chances that its going to violate someone else's right to protect their private space. I earn enough to live the way i want to and i very much want every one else to live so atleast not to bother me with charity. You shouldn't mistake me on this, sincerely I do care about the under-privileged though i care not, to spare a penny for that wooden legged old man near the bus stop who's ready with blessings that instantly turn to curses if you pretend not noticing,about that madman on the streets with matted hair who digs in the garbage (our street that is) for something edible though there's not a time i passed him without thinking about getting the number of an asylum.
I live in the 21st century and am very much an agnostic as every other person is, except when there's a really serious issue at office. If there's one thing that upsets me in this country, its pissing in public.
I've had quite a few pals who would make a face when they see someone spray paint a tobacco stained bunch of painstakingly painted blocks, while they themselves wouldn't hesitate running their zip down even when the public toilet is just a metre away. Its unhygienic, they try to justify. Well, if someone's piss is unhygienic for you, so is yours for everyone else. I'm tempted to get into gender difference here, but i rather not make it more stinky.
I'm getting too much into this dirty business. Though you should understand that I'm not againt all the slum dwellers defecate on the rail lines and the rock crevices.. They do it there simply because they have no other place to do it. Its only these gentlemen who go on a high watching Madhavan die in Rang De Basanti and come right out of the theatre and look for a dark corner to piss that bother me. Duhh... that accounts for a spoiler alert. Preetha, i hope you've seen the movie before reading this ;)
