A Glimpse of World Through My Lens
“ The eyes can capture what a camera lens can’t”
I’m the person who’ll always believe this fact. A camera can see the situation but an eye can feel that very moment. A camera might have the best resolution but it can’t look into people’s hearts and minds. With that thought in my mind, I analyzed every issue, I came across and didn’t just a problem but also the citizens getting affected by it.
While taking these pictures, I realized how difficult it is for some people to just have a normal day without getting hurt by the protruding rocks on an uneven road or without getting stuck in pool of water after rain, leaving them exhausted and their vehicles with busted engines. Students suffer the most in these situations, they get stranded on roads for hours due to traffic jams and the bumpy roads add more “fun” to their already “pleasant” day. This isn’t new, growing up, I’ve been witnessing these problems to an extent that sometimes this feel normal and go unnoticed now. But we can’t pass this to our next generations.

Now the question arises who’s going to take the responsibility? Most of the people in such situations, blame authorities and make them accountable but first we should see inside our collars. The trash we throw on the streets blocks the drainage systems. In traffic jams, everyone is impatient to reach their destination, but if, in these situations, someone would step up, take the lead and make everyone responsible for their actions then things would get settled pretty soon, probably without even the involvement of the Government. Because having power isn’t necessary to be a leader in everyday life.
I hope we can become such adults to our upcoming generations who will teach them self accountability instead of playing a blame game. I hope we can deliver them a clean, green and more peaceful country!
