Rubbish that grow on street lights

No, they are not products of biotechnology which make some kind of rare fruits grow on street light poles. These are scenes typical to housing estates. The lower the income-earning capacity of the population of the area, the more of such 'fruits' you can find present.

What could be the reason these bags of trash not in dustbins but on street light poles? The residents skim on dustbins? Or to prevent stray cats or dogs scavenging through the trash or these bags are more convenient for the garbage collectors to do their jobs. Believe me, these collectors seem to be so busy that they will not even close the covers of the dustbins after emptying them. I believe this phenomenon is more of for convenience.

What kind of impression are we leaving to tourists or foreigners who visit our country?

So, who cares about poor service as long as letters are delivered..not in letter boxes? Do you notice the letter was not even placed under the wiper in case it may fly off?

Books which collect dust

So little time, yet so many things to accomplish. Now, when will I have the time to read the books I bought? There are at least 5 books that I have bought but are now sitting uselessly while accumulating dust in the book shelf. Some of them are just flipped for a few pages and later abandoned again. I feel so sorry that these books are not read yet for its contents. I'm sure there are intricacies,wonders and amazement waiting to be discovered by reading them. But, what will power do I have to pick up one and start reading regardless of my busyness?
