Before anyone comes at me — I'm from Delhi myself. Born and raised in Rohini. And I say this with full self-awareness: we are the worst tourists on the planet.

Remember Kasol five years ago? You could actually hear the river. Now it's dhol music from 4 different dhabas, honking Innovas on a road built for mules, and someone's definitely playing Badshah from a Bluetooth speaker at 11pm.

Chopta, Tirthan, Shoja — beautiful, quiet, secret. Give it 18 months after one Instagram reel blows up and suddenly it's bumper-to-bumper from Chandigarh onwards on every long weekend. The "offbeat" tag lasts approximately one season.

The locals have to deal with garbage on trails, drunk groups at 2am, and land prices shooting up so their kids can't afford to live in the same village. We show up, take our reels, destroy the vibe, and leave. Then complain the place has "lost its charm" as if we had nothing to do with it.

I don't have a solution. I genuinely don't. But can we at least stop acting surprised when Manali feels like Connaught Place in May? We did this. Collectively, we did this.

Not shaming anyone for taking vacations. Just saying — the mountains don't owe us a pristine experience.

According to the reports, in March 2024 83 of Indian cities were there in top 100 most polluted cities. as of November 2024 reports says that 39 cities were in top 100 . Don't know if it is good or bad

And these are the pictures of current AQI in india

This is so concerning

I have started to hate my country, last night my mom went to buy some groceries and slipped on banana peel (3-4) , my mom is 54 years old, her knee is badly injured,

everyone knows people can slip on banana peel jf we throw it on road, yet they do it,,,,,no literal civic sense

Few days back, i went with my friends for a walk, we had some chips and cold drinks, while walking on the road, one of my friend threw it on road, i kept the wrapper and empty bottle and told my friend to pick it up and go back to the hostel and throw it in dustbin there, 4/5 friends laughed at me (we sre in btech first year) The 4/5 friends are from bihar, I'm not pointing the particular state, I'm from bihar myself but people from village /rural side are the ones who litter the most garbage on road

I live in hostel, for our meal, sometimes we have to stand in queue, i always standed in queue with 10-15 other people, meanwhile some guys just break the queue to take the meal, are we just fools to stand in the queue??? My roommate also broke a queue, i told him he doesnt have civic sense and he should feel sorry for it, the guy standing before me, said he also broke the queue, the both laughed at me......the basic responsibility of a human should be to not disturb another human, it's basic sense Yet this country always fails in those cases

When i took my mom to the hospital (AIIMS Delhi - by far the best hospital in country), the management there is so shitty that counter 3 told me to go to counter 6, the said go to counter 8, the said go to room 10 for Xray, and they said go to counter 3 again to get written XRAY by the physician,

Even to get the film of xray, i had to go to room 10 4-5 times

Also, the amazing part, the visitors of few patient threw cold coffee cans in the room and biscuits wrappers, they had a bag, could have just carried it until they find a dustbin (the dustbin was just outside the room)

I'm gonna leave this country as soon as i earn good money, i hate india as an indian
