\nCRITICISE LESS, ACT[positively] MORE<\/p>\n

It has been my observation & most of you must have observed, the same, too,that in any situation of civic-neglect viz pot-holed roads, broken footpaths, ill-maintained green spaces, leaking water-pipes, non-functional traffic signals, mounting garbage on streets,dog- pooh at various places in the neighbour hood, we all go on high-drive in criticising,criticising & criticising the officials\/management of local bodies, DDA & various utilities. We criticise them whenever, we gather in the park during morning walk, we criticise, when we meet at any social get-togethers & we criticise,when we talk on mobile or sometime on whatsapp!<\/p>\n

The healthy elders who have lot of time on their hands stay longer in the parks & there panel-discussions,seminars, amongst,them on the in-efficiency of the civic officials are held in great detail!There are exceptions too,In some of the groups? A few elders amongst many in their groups,take positive actions. contact the concerned officials, follow up & also help the workers in various ways & get the problems sorted out amicably in a time bound manner!<\/p>\n

But ,majority are experts in giving their views\/expert advice on the mis-management of funds\/for changing the situations on the ground.<\/p>\n

Why,they do it? Why, they keep on criticising? Why, they do not form small groups amongst themselves to follow up with various civic authorities.<\/p>\n

I have no doubt,their problems will receive the solutions, in lesser time than expected!<\/p>\n

Having been in the local government,my experience is, there are sometime, problems within the various departments of a local body\/Utility companies et al.I do not hold a brief for their in efficiency.It is also a fact that there are,also, many instances of unethical practices being followed by some of the officials\/elected reps\/contractors, but CRITICISING only will not solve the problem but, may\/will aggravate the situation.<\/p>\n

So the rule of the game should be, ACT POSITIVELY ,CRITICISE LESS.<\/p>\n

It will have good effect on all-employees, your own children ,your public- areas of neglect. <\/p>\n

Things will start improving?~<\/p>\n

TRY it for a MONTH—————,dear all.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis is my prescription for obtaining better civic facilities\/improving the quality of life in & around your neighbourhood.<\/div>\n
\n
\nInstead of `sudharofying` the world,first bring improvement around you.<\/p>\n
