<i>Why can't we change?</i>

The season of load-shedding is here again. Incessant hours of interruptions posing troubles at all ends, from daily chores to valuable manufacturing processes. We all know how it feels like to be in that situation. But even after that why don't we change?- Why can't we sit for a single moment without the AC on? (Why do we need to keep it on in the first place when we need to put a blanket to avoid the chilling weather just after 10 minutes?) - Why do we need to switch on ALL the lights, fans and everything in the room even if we are there for 1 or 2 minutes and then why do we forget to switch them off? - Why do we always forget to switch off the lights, fans or AC even when there is not a single person in the room? - Why can't we even walk two floors when we see an elevator? Are these practices limited to power supply only, No, I must admit. We need a bucket of water to clean two dishes, we don't care to put off the tap properly, we don't want to spend 10 paisa each day on the match stick, so we keep burning gas. The examples are unlimited. Definitely, access to luxury is a benefit and a personal choice. No outsider is allowed to comment on that. But did we ever ask ourselves what would happen to our next generation who may have the cash in their account but without any access to the luxuries because there would be nothing out there that you can buy with that money. The frustrated words are not to hurt personal feelings, but to ask for raised awareness so that we can all have a slightly better life and can leave a less difficult future for our next generations!
