3 Things That Are Normal For Indians
1. Calling a disaster ‘Home Sweet Home’
We live in buildings that are in shambles and could crumble any moment. We are oblivious to the danger that’s lurking in the corridors. We walk down staircases that could any time open into an abyss of pain. But we continue to trudge on, oblivious to our surroundings.
2. Walking on shabby bridges
We all have that one route we take, whether we go to office, or home. The same route is taken by several others too. It's become a part of our daily routine. We are so engrossed in getting to our destination, we fail to see the signs of the impending disaster staring at us...even as we go about our very routine.
3. Escaping death under a maze of live wires
We definitely have a taste for risk-taking. Or else, why would we think all sort of live wires hanging over our heads are no big deal? To add to that, we are living in a tropical region, which means monsoons visit us every so often. Definitely, a recipe for disaster.
Stop Normalising Disasters
Why are we so apathetic to what’s happening around us? Why do we suddenly become vigilant and reactive after that bridge falls, or that building topples over, or someone gets electrocuted?
Why do we protest do once these disasters have already struck - when we could be making an even bigger impact before crisis hits home?
We have to stop normalising disaster and raise the flag before it’s too late.
