Sincerely, Your Neighbour

Dear Fellow Resident,

Let me introduce myself. I am your neighbour, who belongs to same prestigious residential society you do; why I called prestigious because all my neighbours are way more literate than rustic folks, apparently quite well off, wear labels of big corporates and have been to some farthest corners of the earth.

However, of late, what jolts me with the shock every morning while taking the morning stroll is the sight of unclaimed littering napkins, carelessly disposed diapers, hurriedly thrown contraceptives,  recklessly dumped cigarette buds, hastily ripped off flying wrappers and so on. An incessant obnoxious issue which bounces back everyday. I am totally perplexed as I know my fellow residents are mature enough to foresee repercussion of their actions. But where to put my finger is my concern.

What surprises me most is the fact that this all is happening when the society ensures a hassle- free, well- segregated waste disposal facility at our doorstep. A far easier way than assessing the projections daily while forming new angles to propel the garbage bunch like a spear hitting the nail and living in constant scare of being grabbed by multiple eyes. I am clueless and eager to know what more my fellow resident is looking for. Probably, looking for a bit more comfort or luxury or the liberty of following own whims and fancies? Oh...pardon me, I am not getting the right denotation. So I solicit my fellow resident with folded hands, please break your ice and let me know what it is. Else I will constantly juggle with this dilemma as to how to infuse the sense of social and civic ethics into a literate being like you.

I am sure you are equally keen to retain your pride in the society.

Thank you for taking time out.

Sincerely,

Your Neighbour
