Save water before it becomes a exhibit in Museum and National Parks #CuttingPaani

In the holy town of Haridh, there lived a boy kitu with this father. Kitu had lost most of this family to water born disease during an epidemic that occurred in this village. The river from which the water was sourced was contaminated by a disease and before government authorities could act many people lost their lives.

Today the villages with the government have taken precaution. Also the ladies do not have to travel with pots on their head to fetch drinkable water. Rather the government has provided taps in the holy city so the water is delivered at home.

Kitu loved water the most since most of his childhood stories where either revolved around water or his maximum time spent with his mother was when she was doing household work near river.

Kitu’s parents had instilled a strong thought him in that ‘the future is a reflection of actions that we take today’. So when kitu saw people in his village abusing water, he used to feel very devastated.
 
Though in his school, it was told to him clearly that ‘As access to drinkable water becomes an ever-increasing worldwide encounter, all humans have an chance to be the most powerful game-changers in safeguarding water for upcoming groups”

He spent many days and hours to tell everybody to take care of water but no one cared. His friends in the class also seem to have ignored his plea to join him in educating adults in the village. With the help of his teacher, he showed villagers different ways of saving water like turning the tap off during bathing or washing clothes. But people didn't care.

Couple of months later, on a hot summer morning, kitu woke up and discovered that there was no water! As he stepped out, he noticed all the villagers were distraught with the fact there was no water to drink, to wash or do any other tasks. On one hand , he had a joy that people will now realize the importance of water but he was also worried now what will happen.

All of us were very scared. People of the village started arriving at hour home and wondered if I had any idea on how the water can come back. Kitu enlightened and repeated how important it is to save water and everyone in the village need to take care of it. Having no water for their everyday events convinced all the villages on what kitu had always tried to communicate to them.

Everyone wondered now what. With the help of government and nearby villages, drinking water arrived next day. Some doctors also advised people to take pills so that the need to drink water will disappear. At first people laughed at this idea, but as days passed the pills seemed to have become a death saving medicine.

My dad suggested to all the villagers that we should perform pooja to appease Indra who is the god of rains. I remember he telling me that the 'The law of karma which recommends that with divine intervention through prayers, rituals, and good deeds, it is possible to appease gods'. People seemed to have caught this new fad of appeasing gods. I could see many rituals performed in the village to appease gods. All the god were being requested to shower their blessings in the form of rains.

Eventually the rain gods did turn up and people got for the first time the taste of fresh water. Today the volume of water in the village has increased and our village has become the brand ambassador of water saving.

All of us have a Kitu inside us. Do not ignore the consciousness that Kitu had. Otherwise it will too late before any corrective action could be implemented for #CuttingPaani as it has happened with many inhabitant of the dear earth who have forever left us
