first step in mekedatu...

Let me start from the day 1 plan. On march 4th we(Shilpa, Hari,Lakshmi,
Suresh, me,Bindiya,Amar) met and decided on where to go and we had 9 in
our list but due to various reasons only 6 could make it.

We started our journey from Bangalore early in the morning at 6.45 AM
(definitely early on Sunday!!). We met; sat in the car started the
journey we were getting to know each other as most of us were strangers
till we met. We were talking about what we are supposed to go do there
and were planning how to educate those localities.

The climate is becoming hotter and  we are tired before we reach there!
We reached there finally!! Wow we could see very little water and few
people (as were early) and loads of waste. We took a quick glace of the
place around and the beautiful stream.

But no body spent much time looking and admiring as all of us knew why
we were there!!!
And the scariest part was how we will complete if it gets hotter!!!!!
We all started to plan which place to cover how'll look after the stuff
who'll remind all of us to take water(very imp) in between within few
min we started and we are picking up the plastics!!! Strange really
strange I could never imagine people can make any place so dirty. What
not they use and throw!! '

We were amazed…. Our garbage collection bag is getting filled faster
and faster and the climate is getting hotter and hotter. We all worked
to our best to clean the place…Some people saw us doing it and instead
of throwing the candy (plastic) on the ground they gave it to us some
really felt responsible!! We wish there was dustbin!!!!

We actually didn't foresee the outcome before we stared. The outcome
was just amazing… We look back at the place from top.
How clean it looks!!!!...
How satisfied we all were!!! We forgot the pain we went through…
We came to the place we catch the bus to our surprise with in few
hours people have dirtied that place too…!! How insensitive!!!!!
We took rest for 5 min there and stared to clean that place too!!
Guess what....
There were other people who came to have fun were inspired by us!!!
And helped us clean the place!! Is not that amazing!!.

We could achieve the target to some extent. :-)

We had great fun cleaning….  :-)
