Specially in the evenings, when the kids were out and about running around and all the old folks were out walking, it was time for us women to just wander around and feel free to walk in to any of our friend's houses. :D I love that feeling..Shyamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16437363705512207312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765770126021117594.post-24069840078262031382013-06-16T04:24:48.975-07:002013-06-16T04:24:48.975-07:00I cannot change the neighbourhood but I can be wha...I cannot change the neighbourhood but I can be what I want to see others be ... let me take the sambar and chutney to my neighbour...it may not change them but I am sure it will make a difference to the way they relate to me ... would I not acknowledge a neighbour in my high rise building who once in a way surprises me with a goodie ?

Now, if you live in high rises, or in colonies, where every one know everyone else, the kids are known to people , in front of whose houses they play,( to break a few windows). The people who live nearby do keep an eye on those children, albeit a little tersely.<br /><br />But the troubling point is, colonies no longer are friendly neighbourhoods. Neighbours are becoming more selfish, "I am better, why should I bother.. we are this community.. they are not.."" types, who throw garbage in general areas, park their vehicles to obstruct access, use suction pumps to steal water. Where can there be friendly neighbourhood? It is a vanishing tribe.Vetirmagalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01881952063893739315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-765770126021117594.post-7838922992971120752013-05-20T06:31:10.510-07:002013-05-20T06:31:10.510-07:00Ok Priya.
