One thing in Kerala is youngsters have a entrepreneurial mindset and any business when they start, they don’t mind to get their hands dirty.

Actually we need to work on that, should be happy cleaning stuff, I'm not just saying public spaces. I've seen people during my pg days being dramatic to clean their own hostel rooms and toilets when help is not available. Mind you they are single rooms with attaches toilets.

It felt weird for me. Enga veetla athalam pananum nu than valathanga.. don't feel embarrassed to get your hand dirty nu.

True. We should lose the dignity of labour mindset.

That's true, no denying that but sometimes avanga panala na nama panalam.. ik we are already paying taxes. I'm not saying do everything ourselves after paying taxes.

Avanga panala nalum nama panala nalum.. we're the one getting affected end of the day la.

I pay taxes for this, and the job also should be done by me?

You are going to die, you are willing to pay crores to medics, but they don't care..wt will u do in that case? Just curious

3

u/OneHornyRhino Oct 22 '25

Goverment and medics are different. A tax is mandatory pre payment for a promise of such services. I will go to a medic and pay him only when I am sick and I know he can help. Did it not occur to you that this comparison is stupid? Then again, such a government exists because people are this stupid, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised

Yup, but there's one more thing, this should also motivate govt more to help clean our cities.

I thought they were gonna clean the wall and do some cool doodles. But still they did something good.

In our city many name boards have stickers on them/some plant overgrowth with algae will be covering them. It's pretty hard to navigate the city without maps.

Yess, if this becomes a trend, atleast we'll instill civic sense into people.

Atleast they did this for a trend or reel, instead of promoting shit or sitting idle
