Yes! that day the sky was dark & it was drizzling outside after a month of hot weather. but inside the house the situation was totally different. not a single drop of water was coming through the taps. however at that moment all the people in the town was joyous after being tormented by the immense hot weather. unfortunately soon after a while the sky became clear, leaves no sign of rain.

The people of the town realized that there is nothing good in their fate. one the other hand they disapproved the local government. according to them the local government has failed to provide them the basic necessities of life. the dilemma is that day it was water that had betrayed them, on day electricity would not be willing to illuminate their residence, and on some other day water leaking from the water cooler would cause one or more inhabitants to slip on the marble floor. There was no end to their hardships and the local government of that small town was responsible for this deplorable predicament. Finally one day the troubled citizens got together and held a meeting to come up with a plan to force the local government to fulfill their just demands of provision of basic facilities. All sorts of propositions from writing pleas to the mare to going on strike were discussed but a consensus could not be reached.

A guest who had witnessed the whole proceeding spoke up and his speech silenced all the complaints and the crowd dispersed within a few minutes.The young voice said, “It’s been a week that I have been living among you at my cousin’s house and I have observed a lot in this little time.You complain of shortage of water yet you leave taps running, you are bothered by power shutdowns and still you forgot to turn off the lights before leaving for work, you realize that the local government does not fulfill its duties; have you ever judged yourself, do you qualify for a responsible citizen? you simply waste energy and resources. You are getting what you deserve however, if you want an improvement in this situation then change yourself it will ultimately makes a change in the whole society & the government of the country.
