People should go to Lalit's house and maintain same level of cleanliness. He should let street dogs on mattress, water pool in front yard with mosquitoes breeding in it, paan stains on walls, toilet, wash basin etc. I will believe him then. No Mr. Lalit this is not our standard of cleanliness. You are not speaking on my behalf. I hate present standard of cleanliness in India and hate people like you in power not doing anything about it.

He might be right!!! We do have 2 standards of cleanliness in India. #1 for pubic places like road, bus station, train station etc. and # 2 for our homes. A trip to a railway station will show our sense for public cleanliness and our private bathrooms, toilets in our shining, spanky villas and 2-3-4 BHKs shows our private cleanliness.

For people from other countries they maintain the same level of cleanliness everywhere!!!

Maybe :p; unlike my dad (who ****es about Indians and "their" failures), I do not feel comfortable throwing trash out of the car when on the road, driving.
