Educated fools

I was coming to office today on the bike (sitting behind Yogesh). We were on the Rajiv Gandhi bridge on Mula river. I noticed that the river was starting to look a little better due to heavy rains last week.

Just then I saw a silver sedan parked at the side of the bridge on Mula river. A guy who looked liked he worked in a good company, got out of it. He walked to the edge and threw contents from a huge plastic bag in the river - flowers, garlands, cotton wicks, other cotton, papers that were used to wrap flowers, etc. After throwing this garbage, he threw the plastic bag too in the river!

I was shocked by the utter lack of shame in that guy. He showed no concern for the environment and ecosystem. PCMC has already kept decorative garbage collection bins on the bridge to discourage people from throwing it in the river. But devotees think that throwing above stuff in the river will take it to the real God. Or they don't want to throw puja stuff in regular garbage and invite the wrath of God. If people like him really believe that God is everywhere, they should not be polluting the river. Anyway, tired of the stink, God might have left the river years back!
