I walked the stretch of my road to the nearest shop the other day. It takes me a good twenty five minutes. I love walking and give me some greenery around, I could then walk for hours.
But walking this stretch is so awful, I must look straight on, breathe in, turn head neither to left or my right. Because the road on either side is full of...SHIT!

Now if the British were still here,

they'd have ensured me a CLEAN road to walk on..
more greenery..


Peeing men defacing walls would have been jailed
Corruption among us could have been rare
Infrastructure would have been superb
Rioters would be punished severely
Bribing of cops? Forget it
Clean trains..clean buses
No unnecessary honking
Crimes at a stand still
Perfect road discipline
No spitting red anywhere
No littering either
Cleanest beaches
Terrorists would be scared to harm us a second time

BUT then..
I think of the side effects..
like every good pill has..
they'd be lording over us..
exploiting..
oppressing..
extracting..
from us poor, helpless Indians..
we'd be like birds longing to be free
but held captive in a golden cage!

So..
in spite of the poverty
the filth
the scandals ..
the corruption..
thank God
we are at least FREE!!!!
