vadodara-banyan rooted or routed?

Vadodara-the city with its roots firmly traditional and cultural,wonderful people, quiet relative to the hustle bustle of the metro life and peace loving people who know each other almost like a small family.I too became part of this family and then my awareness started pricking me every single day when I saw the truth at every step of my day to day life.I feel its very important for the citizen of Vadodara to change and strengthen the basic fundamentals and civic sense and bring about a transformation that makes this a place a jewel in the crown of Gujarat.I am sure the hard core vadodarites will detest this and not like me being blunt but its the need of the hour.
Take a few critical things for instance-stray dogs on the nook and corner of every street.Its an army of them guarding their alley and creating a ruckus at night or day time which could be a severe health hazard to the people.Yet no one seems to bother as dogs,cows, sheep, squirrels and monkeys are part and parcel of the day to day life here.If quick steps are not taken it will be a menace difficult to handle. The traffic discipline or lack of it ...inspite of people who travel to UK and USA at the drop of a hat they do not adhere to any of these rules when they come here.Respect to the policeman is ZILCH.Car parking sense is atrocious,dumping garbage in front of the next door neighbour while your own place is cleaned is a routine.At work applying your own mind is as good as finding a rare orchid., Every one has to be told and instructions are followed.Logic and commonsense seldom prevail.Actioning a process is a dream.Dreaming is in abundance however.People are good natured but the elder generation are very inquisitive and at times provocative.
Flocking around the same restaurant for hours waiting for a seat is in vogue but trying out a new outlet is limited to a few.The docile,static nature of people needs to be made more practical and flexible enough to adapt to the changing environment.
School children missing lectures and roaming around at multiplexes on the outskirts of the city while the parents may think otherwise is a warning.The traditional approach in all that is done is quite contrary to the fancy low back "choli" worn when a festival approaches.Eating out but having no time to locate a dustbin is the routine.The bold and the beautiful have a life that would make Las vegas beg for attention.All prohibition norms are thrown to the wind and every and any brand is available as much and as you want.Why then have these double standards?Be bold and create the environment that will make life easy for all.Quality of manpower and power of english is a BIG miss.......Grooming, training and pro activeness is a must because if that matches with the natural business acumen of the local people this city will ROCK.Doctors and medical shops a plenty doing well because the VMC sleeps while allergies spread.
Public transportation --auto mafia, share vs individual,buses we have so many people piling on that the conductor gives up even issuing a ticket.Loss of revenue.To add to the woes we are getting Double deckers???
Water logging, blocked sewers, fluctuating power supply ,politics in colleges than study and guidance,lack of quality teachers in universities,do i have to say more.
Please my sincere request is that we must make this city one of the most pleasant abodes in this part of the world.
