    It is us, the young of India to take these work of nation-building.
    how long can we blame our govt?
    for cleanliness, I always point out everyone who throws garbage.
    people do laugh at me but when I explain them they do cooperate.
    a clean green India is my dream and I have made it my life goal.
    I will certainly do my bit for my country instead of blaming Govt.
    If the young like us do not take initiative who will?

      This is not just path holes. It reflects a deep rooted problem in our psyche.
      Cleaning our streets, respecting public property and certainly owning everything this country has as ours as we treat our home.

      Bro! I'm not kidding, I feel the same way! Building an India where people don't feel like its necessary to leave the country in order to chase their dreams and live a better life is my goal as well! I believe we have all the necessary resources and manpower to achieve this easily. We just need to realize it. It's funny how we also have the same name :)
