May and June seems like the busiest month of my life, deadlines to finish up MBA assignments, proceeding with exams of my third semester, targets and deadlines in office, some important family functions to attend along with that frequent visits to my doctor, laboratories, is making me insane.
With all these activities going on in my life, leaving no time for me to sit and relax, I have been doing all possible effort to be productive most of the time. And in my endeavor to save every second of my life, I have been losing and wasting something very precious, irreparable and lifesaving. This is my self-introspection, analysis of my not so good and unproductive activities. Please read ahead.
Waking up hurriedly in morning and brushing my teeth, I had left the tap open; I could have used water in a mug.
Adding to my woes, the maid got sick with flu, had to give her a week’s leave. Washing the utensils early morning, in my habitual hurriedness I spilled extra water all over the slab and floor. Warning my maid always to be cautions with water, I used much more than required quantities of water.
Getting ready for the office I had left the tap open to fill up my bucket and went to iron my shirt and as I came back running, the bucket was overflowing with water.
Watering the plant in my terrace I overfilled the pots, not checking how much water they need.
I usually sit in my room with my laptop, television, tube light, fan, A.C in the power on mode and sometimes even leave the room without switching them off, though not always but I have noticed myself doing this last week.
These pointers make me think and re think – Am I a responsible citizen? Am I practicing myself the good things that I preach? The answer is ‘NO’. But I am a believer, with hopes, it’s never too late. But if we don’t realize and act now it’s actually going to be too late. At a very fast speed we are losing something most important and precious. i.e. Water. Many act of our day to day life contribute to this destruction. We work hard day and night all our life, in the end we shall leave behind a plush apartment with latest technology for our kids, grandkids, but will survival be possible for them with no water to drink?
Many places around the globe have started facing acute water shortage, and if we are fortunate enough to get sufficient water for our use, we should feel blessed and preserve, protect this most needed resource.
