I came across this post and it got me thinking
I'm curious to hear different perspectives from people in India. What comes to your mind? It could be something from your family, school, workplace, or society. Please keep the discussion respectful.
Zero civics sense @ Juhu Beach
I know Juhu has been like this for years, so nobody is really surprised anymore. But every single time I visit, it still frustrates me.
It's one of my favorite places to come and unwind in the evenings. Lately, I've noticed more groups coming here with food, snacks, and picnic setups, which is absolutely fine. Public spaces are meant to be enjoyed.
What I don't understand is how people can finish eating and then just leave everything behind. Plastic bottles, cups, wrappers, tissue papers, snack packets, just tossed onto the sand like it's someone else's problem.
The worst part? These photos are from a regular evening. Not after a festival. Not after some huge event. Just a normal day at the beachhhh!!!!
Also I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THERE WAS HUGE HUGE SACK KEPT LIKE RIGHT BEHIND EVERYWHERE FOR KACHRA!!!
People complain that Mumbai doesn't have enough clean public spaces, but when we do have them, we treat them like dustbins. If you can carry food to the beach, you can carry the empty packaging back too. Basic civic sense shouldn't be this rare.
At this point, the garbage isn't even the most disappointing thing. It's how normal we've made it.
P.S. Police around seem more concerned about couples than the garbage covering the beach. 🙃 ( For 💸)
Am I overreacting, or does this bother anyone else too???? 🥹🥹🥹
