‘Kachra’ or as defined as garbage in English has been a problem ever since man started walking the earth. The problem only escalated as man advanced in science and his needs ever so increased. Removal of garbage became essential in any society to ward off catastrophes of biblical proportions. Today , cows, pigs and other animals eat Kachra in our Indian society and die a painful death but has anyone ever given a thought to metaphorical Kachra. Walking , talking Kachra that knows no emotion. They are empty inside just like used hollow dust bins . What kind of threat do they pose to society en large. I implore to everyone , please keep your surroundings clean and your relationships cleaner so as to not get your feet nor your heart dirty. However washing off dirt from your feet is much simpler than washing dirt from your heart which may happen if you come in contact with such metaphorical Kachras. They tend to be contagious.
