15. Be the change you want to see, Guwahatians!

So, the new word going doing the rounds is, "We need a change!" Well, frankly speaking that is the only thing which is constant. It's a continuous process that occurs whether we like it or not. But are we looking at a change for the better? If it is, good for all of us. But change, no matter how good or bad needs the participation of every individual who cares about the end result of that change. Until and unless every individual understands that the responsibility of making the change lies with him/her, no man on Earth can make them realise this most potent truth.

Today morning, I was left mortified when I saw the condition of the newly made bus arcade at the Commerce College stoppage. Vandalised with a vehemence! I understand the young people these days have little to do than to spew expletives and go on a rampage of public property. But let me remind you, it's your guardians money, the tax-payers money that you are vandalising. And for what joy, may I ask? Is it to impress someone with your strength? It will be a worthy action if each of those persons who have vandalised the bus arcade actually understands the gargantuan damage they have caused to expensive public property.

If you really want a change, then you yourself have to be the change. You can do it in so many different ways. One could be to become responsible citizens and start taking responsibility of the city, just as you would do your home. You wouldn't break expensive things in your home would you?

And it doesn't take much to keep the city beautiful. It only takes responsible persons who love their city to bring that change they so want to see!

This is your property! Vandalising it will not help in any way!
