So there I was sitting in my over stuffed bus on the way home from work. I don’t know whether I’ve told you but where we are located right now is a huge township and it’s still under construction. Maybe 10% is completed. The entire place is crisscrossed with re-bars and concrete. Anyways since there are wide open spaces that are waiting for the construction to begin, guess what, it looks as though the laborers have found a way of utilizing them.
So where was I? Oh! Yeah I was on my way from on the bus. As I was staring at the picturesque sun far away setting down, it looked as if it was going down in a blaze of glory. The color was crimson, red, pink and all colors imaginable married from the family of pink and red. I was thinking of taking a nice long shower and the yummy dinner I was going to make when my dream was interrupted by a rather disturbing and unpleasant site.
There was this man standing in the middle of a wide open space and PEEING! Yes you hear me right, Peeing. Of all the places, that was the only space he found to pee. I was telling my friend Harsha that there is going to be a house there pretty soon, so he’s probably laying down the foundation, jokingly off course. I was like he can at least seek the shade of some tree or face a wall. But this act was a blatant display of his democratic rights, I think. Or come to think of it maybe he just needed to go bad. Whatever it is, men in India seriously need to rethink this whole peeing in the public status. It’s so not cool! I leave you with a joke that my friend once told me:
The idea of democracy in the USA is: To be able to kiss in public
The idea of democracy in India is: To be able to pee in public.
I choose kiss any day. What would you choose?
