, municipality water supply issue , rise of goons
in our area , poor electricity , sewages spraying
here and there .
3. » With thought of getting caught up in machinery ,
they give it up, we have been hearing be
responsible, some one should be doing, other wise
things will not work blah blah, in india speeches like
this go unnoticed ,,

,everybody uses that road then why only me ,
everybody should come together , in this
everybody thing, nobody comes forward .

Goons thrive.

with perfection, why the fuck I need to tell
them all the time, I already have enough to do
in my office ( fair enough)

attempt failed to have an active community
engagement ,, only few well to do people and

to witness a new era of community
engagement …
