Every morning on the way to office, I see men and women cleaning the sidewalks, planting trees, clearing weeds from road – dividers. Their working condition involves scorching sweltering sun, burning bright, pollution emitted by numerous vehicles and dust.
For past few days I am returning late from office, and each day I have seen garbage trucks cleaning up the roadside garbage bin. People pass them squinting their nose, covering their mouth, trying to overtake it … the smell is unbearable, but still there are workers hanging by the side of the truck, collecting garbage that you or I must have disposed.

The glass cleaners of huge buildings, hanging from 16-17 floors , the staff that keeps your restroom clean, the security guard of your company – are people that actually make our stay comfortable.
The world is a beautiful place to live in because someone is actually cleaning the dirt.

true and lovely argument…
damn right…and these people do a thankless job..
It's a job none of us want to do!…great tribute to the people who do!
@ raji a touching note there; its a pretty difficult job for them,we keep throwing and they keep cleaning.!Even i agree with bikram .if we start contributing our little bit ..probably not throwing those lay's covers;not throwing those chocolate wrappers;etc..would definetely help.
yes indeeed but it would be so good if WE help or chip in a bit .. even if it means starting from the inside of our homes and maybe the outside of our homes 🙂 what a difference it will make
the last line says it all 🙂
Bikram's blog
The last line is simply awesome!!
What you say is 100% true. There are some poor people who really make this place livable and beautiful and what do they get in return?
And we forget to thank such people in daily life! God bless them!
wow..u made some hell lot of sense there*
I loved the last line. 🙂
yes we applaud those poeple 🙂
In Chennai? Then there must be only one reason. Karunanidhi or Stalin would be visiting that area within a week.
Reminds me of those words in that chandramukhi song 'devuda devuda' !:)
True. Cleaning the dirt is not an easy job at all. The last sentence sums it up.
