Mannerisms in public transports

The Lady with her hubby just boarding the bus went in the front only to find the whole bus occupied and no place left to be seated. One guy promptly stood up giving his place tothe lady who obliged while being seated. The next seat got vacant besides the Lady and the Lady calls up her hubby to be seated whos quite behind a couple of people. He comes and occupies the seat with the man who initially gave the his seat still standing. This is one incidence of many which can be picked to discuss the topic.
The etiquettes tell us to give place to women passengers, pregnant ladies and elderly persons on priority. This was more often seen implemented by many over the years. The other half of the same etiquette statement also implies to the ladies, that lady is also to give the seat to a pregnant lady or aged person.
In my life till now I havent witnessed a single incident where in the ladies have actually done this. The reactions follow..now we dont often see even the men giving place to women. One has to be equally worthy to give and receive the honours.
Another unsaid aspect of etiquettes for public transport, I have tried to highlight in the example above is the right of the person doing the honours. when the adjacent seat vacates, is the person who gave the seat to the woman not rightfully entitled to get? is he not more eligible than her husband who has no merits except being her husband?
I feel it should be this way. The man giving seat is to be given the vacant seat ahead of her husband. This positive gesture given back to the one following the etiquettes would encourage him. Selfless thought on behalf of woman is required which is what I feel along with the same from men.

Lady in the ticket queue...

'No separate Queue for Ladies'... is the line which always catches my attention whenever I move closer to the ticket window in the queue.
The first reaction now for any mumbaikar is to agree with the line written that women should be given the same what is given to the men. Many women also seem to agree to the statement made.
Heres another lookout: Excluding the working class (who thrives on a pass rather than ticket) the counters where even after the statement being made we find small separate queues still allowed/neglected. These queues find in themselves the ladies of families travelling together. These very ladies even are in receipt of angry notes saying why dont men stand in queues and why the previlage. I differ right here. For these families the women receive many previlages such as protection , comfortability of travel (may be a seat to grab or a birth to be made comfortable) ease of travel, and others.
For the men of these families Let there be atleast one advantage they would get by travelling along with the women members..
Women taking the ticket at the window counter would ease a little of the responsibilities. That would be a merit on behalf of women too as to helping out a little in the course of the journey.
Or may be a separate queue for famililes which would be characterised by a minimum number of tickets purchased, would also provide a previlage to travelling families.
A little different perspective to think..

Water Clogging in Mumbai: A clinical solution..

Mumbai has always been blessed with good, sufficient, heavy rains. The blessing as they say also has to be given to the deserving or the capable. This is what actualy can be seen in Mumbai. The city of lately not being able to sustain the load of rains.
The quantity of rains also as matter of fact have risen to noticeable levels but at the same time the clogging of water is being faced at alarmingly huge number of places and consistantly everytime asking for some action or remedy.
Mumbai as being flooded by the population has been in the midst of all problems arising due to it. Sustaining these high masses asks for an extra effort in all the departments viz., the electric supply, the water supply, other necessary services and the drainage. The Drainage system surprisingly has been the only system to be able to sustain itself against such a high increase in population. This system basically designed by the british still works mainly due to the farstretched provisions kept in the designing aspect of it.
For the Water Clogging parts of Mumbai if a simple vent in form of a small manhole is provided for water to get into the drainage and move out, the clogging would not occur. The moving load of water can be catered by the drainage if similar vents are provided as intervals to carry out the water before huge amounts start stagnating.
As automated mechanism such as a ball valve can be used to operate the opening of such vents/manholes. The lid is self operative on guide rails which may be provided to restrict the movement and falling off of the lid.
Guiding the water volumes off into the drainage thus would be a master move against the monstorous problem of water clogging in Mumbai.

What is required to practically please God ??

God is every where.. Gods in everyone.. he Generates, he operates, he Destroys.. man is but at his mercy for everything.. his survival and his very existance.. he is the supreme boss in control of all of us. For the boss at office too we more often try and do things to keep him content with our performance, may be with some previlages, may be with pleasing his personal likes and dislikes. Just because he is incharge of their financial domain, he receives a more affectionate treatment from the subordinates.
The occasional gifts, some pampering, etc do hold some percentage in keeping boss happy.
But as the wise and experience people say, doing the given job satisfactorily brings oneself in good books of the boss. Favoured employee is nodoubt the one who reduces the work load of the boss. This is where the proactiveness and the higher efficiency, better understanding of the requirements of not only our boss but also that of higher officials from the boss, come into view.
Considering on similar grounds the dependency of man to God.
What has he to do to please the one whos entirely incharge of oneself. If we consider the ratio of the different ways to get into good books.. pampering and gifts would occupy a less than 10% ideally with doing his and identifying and attending to boss's areas requirements which would be 80-90%.
analogy many a times works for me.
The pooja, arti, prayers all account only the very small 10% of the job we are to do to please God.
Increase in that domain can actually be harmful if we do not perform in the bigger 80% domain.
so what can be the 80% job we have to perform?? the only thing we need to do is to help him in doing his job.. to protect his creations.. the earth the nature..
To Think .. what is God's JOB?? we have a simple statement that clears it all paritranay sadhunaam vinashayacha dushkrutaam.. "I take birth for protection of the Good and destruction of the Evil".
Man performs God's Job..God is happy..
