What are the biggest mistakes people make when visiting your country?

Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
After going on a morning walk I felt such a relief like a burden was taken from my shoulders,
it felt like I was free and the meditation that I did even if it was a measly five minutes and I was interrupted by Mithu(our pet) it turned out to be a very great experience for me…!
After a morning session of physiotherapy,
I’ll be good to go on my merry way to work and work my butt off as there are a lot of things that have piled up which need my attention due to labor shortage and the rising rates of material that we need on a daily basis…!
Coming back to the prompt
Mistakes people make when they visit our country…!
There are many things that are wrong with our country and we are fully aware of that because we deal with them on the daily…!
Like open drains, water overflowing, space technology roads that aren’t meant to be driven upon and cows on the roads that cause hazard and take numerous lives each day…!
But,
the fact that people focus on these things and show us in a bad picture making us feel even more worthless about ourselves…!
Things like poverty are everywhere,
and there is waste that is spread on the streets which is cleaned up every morning by people who are employed by the municipal corporation who clean them up daily…!
But,
the habit of not polluting our vicinity starts from us the residents of our country and when we see a pile of trash that started as a few leaves or a single use plastic cup or a bottle and people think it’s alright to dump all of their trash there;
When there are trash cans around you as its mandatory by law to keep a trash can if you serve food or single use plastic bottles like cold drinks…!
And here people can’t seem to get that at all…!
I don’t like to toot my own horn but I’d rather keep small trash like an empty bag of chips or an empty bottle in my bag;
Well it starts from somewhere doesn’t it…?
Went on my own rant there….!😅
Well we know there are these problems that we battle,
and we are trying our level best to recover from them and once each and every one of us seems to get it that it’s not their problem it’s our problem we won’t be able to recover from it ever…!
We know there are things like segregation that exists based on caste system and that makes their lives living hell which when shown gives us such a bad rep and this is necessary because more these things are exposed,
it makes us more likely to work on them…!
And,
finally when people visit our country they trust wrong people,
Our country India is know for its hospitality and some people believe anyone that tells them so;
So,
its hard because we are a country that seems very backward and primitive in a way how we treat other human beings which make us feel like villains…!
There are battles each and every one of us fights countries and their wards too…!
Cheers 🥂
