Track Tales: Riding the Rails to Adventure

Doesn't travelling and going around sound so much fun? Well, it was the same for me before coming to my university. I had to move out of my house to pursue higher education in a different state that is much far from the place I belong to. Because of this I have travel for long durations in a single day just to reach my home. Although it indeed is a fun experience but the tiredness that comes along with it is still the the worst part about it. You might be thinking that what is the worst part then it's the unsanitary washrooms and seating areas. The washrooms both in waiting rooms as well as trains are super icky and although the authorities claim of keeping it tidy but it is sincerely not the actual case. I wouldn't completely blame on the authorities though because they have installed vacuum commodes and better sinks but still it's the carelessness of few passengers that ruins the experience. 

The beautiful New Delhi Railway Station (NDLS) has amusing graffiti on walls and also provides quite nice seating areas aka the waiting rooms at a really cheap price. Yet again, the immaturity of a few people leads to the dirtying of the space. There are dustbins placed around the Railway station as well as inside the waiting rooms too but still people will throw the trash on either floor or stuff it in the shelves made to keep the luggage. It is a commendable thing on the authorities part as they really are trying to keep the place as clean as possible all times as the workers and sweepers keep on brooming and wiping the floor back and forth to keep it as clean as it is supposed to be like.

The various services and coordination of the staff as well as authorities helps to make the place better for the people but in response it is us the public that is ruining the environment of the place. Certain things are infact in our hand to change the way of fee things. Instead of just doing same as the person who is doing wrong we can do what is actually right to further promote what is meant to be done instead of what is not meant to be done. These are merely small steps from the perspective as a single person but if majority starts to think in the same way it for sure will make a difference that will be highly noticeable and also environmentally sustainable and helpful.

Let's make a pledge to our own selves to not litter around in public places too. Once you start considering the building or monument as not a public litter ground but infact a place that has been made to help the public at nominal to no cost, it is then when you yourself would try to preserve the architectures around.
