Today I saw something which made me very happy but also made me to think a lot.
Today morning, I woke up early around 8 am :P . When I was brushing teeth in balcony, I saw my mess worker, who is a little boy (some 9-10 years old), coming towards my flat. On his way, He switched off all the lights in the corridor. I looked around but there was no one to instruct him to do so.
He is neither paying any electricity bill nor getting any money for doing that. He never went to school in his life to know about Global Warming or limited natural resources. How he knows this. Even he is not mature enough to know all this and if he is that much mature at age 10, when we will be mature. When will we know that if we are lazy enough not to save the electricity and water then at least we should not waste it. I see people around me wasting electricity like anything. They scarcely shutdown their laptops/ desktops, they hardly switch off lights when they leave their room; forget about switching off lights while leaving office, they don’t off the TV, sometimes even they don’t care to switch off Bathroom’s light when they are done with that. I should not exclude myself from the list of the so called well educated people who completed their graduation from one of the best colleges in India, who know about Global Warming, who all know that we have limited natural resources, still waste them.
Perhaps we need to get some education from that little illiterate lad, which we could not get in our 16+ years of school life.
