How many times have you said to yourself "it's not my job, xyz is supposed to do it?"
We have all said it one time or another! I myself have said it on countless occasions! But then I realised how if I just did a little, I could help in a big way. There's a quote in Hindi, 'boond boond se sagar banta hai' (the sea is made of many drops).
I realised this when I saw how just a small piece of bread that I gave the dog in my street made his day! He was neutered. But sadly, he was not going to survive alone. A lady in the community used to feed all the stray dogs in the area. I used to think that was enough food for them. But then I thought to myself. Why only her? We are more than a 100 people living here; each rich enough to blow up money in coffee shops and clubs!So why can't we spend a few bucks and give some bread and milk to the dogs in the area?
This simple idea, led me to start taking food down for the dog. I must admit, I wasn't regular. My mom was far more active in this area. The bottom-line is, despite not being a big help, it helped him a little, or so I think it did!
If each of us does a little bit, we can make a big difference! There is no point in always blaming the government or people around you! It all starts with you! YOU have to make the start! Will you?
