The indelible mark of the Indian clan

Scene 1:
I was Sitting in the auto waiting for the 180 seconds signal to turn green. After a while a black sedan pulls beside me. I lean out to take a look and no doubt it was a Sonata ,glimmering in all grandeur. I was starting to admire the beauty of the black stallion (is it worth calling the car so?) when I was taken aback by what happened in the next few seconds. The power window on the navigator's side rolled down to reveal a person well dressed in a perfect business suit.
Splat! Thoo! Thup! was the sound and what an artist was he to have made those markings on the electrical post standing tall and white (now with a red spot in the corner). Immensely satisfied with his act, the person leans back in his seat and the power window goes up again.

Scene 2:

A couple of days later, I was on M.G Road in an auto. The driver would have given the creeps to Schumi exhibiting his perfectly precarious driving skills. As he was maneuvering the 3-wheeler in the busy traffic, he did a twin act of disposing the ammunition from his mouth. It was with enough dexterity that he shot the ammo from his mouth that I could not stop from admiring it. If he was in any spitting competition, he would have won it hands down. The beauty about his spit time act was
that he was careful enough to save his vehicle from any marks.

I can go with more such scenes,but if you want more feast for the eyes, you can see such modern arts in the subways, railway and bus stations, big white walls and just about any other place where one considers is an (in)appropriate place to cleanse his mouth. The "Paan" is a true mark of the common Indian man. Who stops him from spitting it where he likes?, Who warns him, who educates him? Nobody! Maybe it is not part of the civic sense at the first place.

If you are a modern art buff, you don't need M.F.Hussain to have you agape with his
paintings. A bunch of our full time pan chewers (more aptly the spitters) will do a wonderful job for you. From the best city to the worst village in India, these marks are pervasive. I even heard that the New York lanes have exuberant displays of such art.

Do we ever realize that we are not only spoiling the beauty of the city landmarks, but also causing a serious threat to the already threatened health and hygiene conditions in our cities and towns? Only a conscious effort from our side and an ethical and moral responsibility towards our immediate surroundings will force people to refrain from such demeaning acts. I am trying to make noise about it through this media. Who else wants to bark louder?
