Changing culture

Wanted to write this for so long.. Did not get write time... !! Rather did not think to write for this long months..

An year back, my journey time to my work was so worst.Infact that itself acts as a work everyday.. . My beautiful city will make to me travel for 2 hours just for 14 kms. All my journey in the evening will be thundering.
I once visited a one of the leading bakeries in chennai in a noisy, polluted evening on my way back from office as i was extremely hungry. The bakery is in Bazullah road.. My brother always takes the pleasure of picking me from office to make my journey a lil shorter.

We both are extremely hungry and we entered the bakery jus to have some mlid snack. And we both decided to order a pizza. They had to heat the pizza and serve us. Pizza had come and we asked for wash basin or atleast a glass of water to wash hands as we were travelling in the most polluted areas in the city. The bakery workers said, they do not have water and on asking for water again they showed us a most unclean toilet where they asked us to wash hands if we needed to. Uveee!! I cant cant imagine.. When we asked for atleast spoon which we saw few others were using to eat cakes, the shop workers lightly responded that this particular item wont get spoon and you have to eat it like that.

We then came out telling we do not want the pizza.

We got so much irritated and we came out. Is this westernization a good one..!! I honestly do not think so...This is leading to us the path where we stopped seeing many things like dresses are becoming shorter day by day.. We do not care to override our ancestral customs and traditions.. Is this is the results of education and the money we fetch out of the same.. We were so civilized before, I think we misunderstood many things and started following a wrong practices which were socially unacceptable in the country.

When my grandpa was Village municef, the people were not allowed to drink alcohol. Drinking alcohol was considered as a sin. But now that is socially acceptable.
In this 21st century even girls started without understanding the fact that their biological set up would cause many troubles..

Hmmm... cha.. travelled a long rather deviated a lot from the topic with which i started with..

You know guys , I never go to the kayendhibavans as i have a preconceived notion that those are not located in clean and tidy places. My parents used to instruct us (Ma sis &me) that not to eat anything from outside when we were young.. I strictly followed till my age of 22. Now eating from kayendhibhavans as they atleast have a water in a jug to wash hands..!!
