Any reader of the above first sentence in here might be wondering whether they have come across a sentence from another language written(to the best of ability) using the English letters. Well such readers might be in for a surprise. The words in the "cryptic" language are nothing but unique sound that emanates when somebody spits with a vengeance. This kind of spitting done within the confines of ones bathroom can be passed off as morning chores, but when delivered right in the middle of a public place turns out to be utterly vulgar.
The great Indian spitting spectacle is omnipresent in the Indian public space. One can't set foot on a clean patch of tar without stepping on a dozen or so spits, one can't walk a decent mile without noticing somebody spit at the expense of others, and one can't walk carefree in the belief that they are protected from airborne diseases such as TB.
This repulsive behavior of spitting without any compunction reflects the society we live in. A society with its more than average population of 'normal' human beings is expected to behave rationally, but in reality this human society has become so irrational that animals, with their supposedly lesser thinking capacity, look more rational. Take, the cat or the dog for example. These cute and intelligent animals do not go about phooping in any place they like. They respect the boundaries within which they ought to be living and hence phoop only in one fixed place, day after day until they die. This is a habit not restricted to dogs or cat in one part of the world. It is common to all animals whether those animals are living in a arid/poor desert country or in a temperate/rich European country.
So if animals can behave rationally without being a pest to other animals why can't we humans in India make an effort to modernize ourselves and be less of a curse to our fellow human beings?
