I took this shot today as I was getting back home from Ghatkopar. Apparently, this tree (the third in a row) has been lying on the road since four days and nobody has done anything about it! I was furious to hear that, but what calmed me down was that three residents from the neighboring locality had lodged a complaint to the BMC and the Police regarding this, about three days ago. Apparently, tomorrow the BMC would be here to clean this up! It's a bit depressing and weird that the government needs so much of time to solve simple matters like these but what's really impressive and delightful is that the citizens are waking up!
Talking of that, I must mention about a brilliant initiative that our friend, Harish, has started - GAP (No, I'm not talking about my favorite brand, for a change)! The Group Altruism Proactive is an initiative to collate likeminded selfless people to be available to help in times of crisis (to begin with) in Bombay(Mumbai), New Bombay (Navi Mumbai) and Thane.
I'm glad that FINALLY people are standing up and actually being the change rather than just talking of change!! I guess this is exactly what we need for making this global space a better place to reside in!
I liked what Harish has said in his introductory writeup -
It’s inane and futile to “merely” wag your tongue and scream off your lung.
You see the gaps in government services. Don’t you?
Here is a chance for you to bridge it.
Join the GAP (Group Altruism Proactive)!
For GAP, Harish, and tons of others doing brilliant work...

I am sure citizens from all over the world will be more proactive about keeping an eye on what goes on in their communities which will benefit the government and hopefully help it to perform better. Or so I hope!
I'm hoping so too, Rose!!:) I admire Harish for taking up this step and for tons of other people are are standing up and doing something about the problems!!!:)
I hope that living in a co-op, and belonging to a food co-op has made me more . . . cooperative! But we can always do more. Good for you, Harish—and I hope your attitude rubs off on lots and lots of other people too.
:) Harish, you have the good wishes...now we hope people join in!!:)
