Swacch Bharath Abhiyaan

I got an earful from papa just a while back so i have decided to clean the table of dust. He said cleanliness starts from our body, then our home, then the outside world. Once upon a time i was carrying chocolate covers in my pocket until such time as i found a dustbin. I was shy and feared that people will laugh at me. Why would i throw chocolate wrapper only in the dust bin when the entire world throws it on the streets.
Since then, I have thrown plastic bottles out of the train window, i have urinated in public places, i have spit on the road and gone without bathing for a couple of days. In short i have done everything that disqualifies me from preaching about cleanliness. Still with loads of hypocrisy i appeal to my fellow Indians to heed to the prime minister. I think this time it is different. I think this abhiyaan will pick up pace. Broom was a symbol of the AAP but this week it was given a new meaning. Let us keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.
