Civic sense

 Civic sense

We guys in India look at this sense (civic) as an alien 😜

We love chaos, quite unofficially.

Look at this unique qualification “this Mr X drives through the middle of our “Y” metro City and still he didn't meet any accident since last 10 years👍” ( the guys who give a PhD are zero competition to this ‘award’ 😜..,). Driving licence is not a qualification certificate 🤣, in real life 😞.

We protest ONLY  about a competitive exam, but NEVER about a qualifying exam 👍, if there is any kind of foul play like ‘leak’ of question paper, etc…. ( Best example: There is a test for knowledge of traffic rules before a driving test for a driving licence. Ever heard of any question paper leak? Does it mean there is no leak? It's because ‘anyway the licence holder is going to drive through only a Chaos….not a ‘traffic’, so that leak is inconsequential to both sides. And co-examinees simply don't care about others👍. A tout who does the job always has the (ever lasting) last_laugh, when a leak-culprit elsewhere gets punished 😜.

We ‘discuss’ civic sense only when we do not end up victimising anyone for the lack of it 🙏.  We owe this attitude to our ancestors who butchered the core values in our Irreligious Hinduism, quite unawares 😜. 

The worst victims of our present day's lack of civic sense are those who are honest to the ‘core’ ( they hang on to honesty and uprighteousness even_when nobody is watching 😜🙏). Until recently, an honest guy suffers misery if he is a staff in most of the government offices, especially where bribes abound👍. This guy is like a thorn in the neck ( perennial source of anxiety😥).

There was a time long long ago, in Bharat, when things like Civic sense, freedom, human or civil rights etc were superfluous 😜.  The unison factor replaced all these, INCLUDING a need_for_unity, alongside the redundancy of enacted laws which was obviated by the time tested tool of banishment/बहिष्कार 👍. The seed is still available,though dormant. Bharat's heritage as a spiritual destination 🙏🙏🙏.  A personal experience of one's own spirit within obviates all kinds of civility 👍. 

My guess is, we are a miracle among other nations, when none of the logical yardsticks are able to figure out ‘how this country runs so well despite so much chaos everywhere’ 😜

I am over_awed by the unanimity in the commuters of Bombay_local_trains( I don't know about “Mumbai”)🙏.  A mystic sense of brotherhood (only during the travel, a mystery in itself) demolishes every logic to explain the miraculous crowd, traveling thus, every 365 days an year, unmindful of whether there can be a solution for this super_chaos. Even I found travel through it in my kid days as ‘no probs’ 👍)

( I am myself unable to figure out how and why my spiritual pursuit survived so many decades, when  everything ‘needed’ to deter me, had always been there, around me 🤣…  Obviously, my blogs, though a reflection of my experience only, don't impress a reader to question me, my blogs or at least my lack of civic_sense in writing such blogs 😜. I failed to impress even my neighbours, when I did not use the storm drainage to drain the sewage from my home 😭🙏. By themselves, none bothered to notice it 😜).

Senselessly yours,
