Accountability-What's that

Okies.....so before I put anybody/anything on the scanning map, let me ask this to myself:

Am I accountable for the loss that happens when I am bathing/brushing my teeth/blah blah blah and water is overused? Yes, I am accountable for that, so started to take bath in a limited quantity of water, close the water-tap in the basin while brushing my teeth, tighten the water-tap left open in a private/public place like washroom,washbasin as and when noticed.But I am not perfect.....

Am I accountable for the danger I pose to a fellow driver, pedestrian, fellow traffic mates of all forms(all living beings)? Yes, I am.So started to drive sensibly, follow traffic rules, I am not on a public road to hone my driving skills but to drive safer, no unnecessary honking and yes more importantly, paying the amount if I break any law on that brown paper sheet. But I am not perfect.....

Am I doing anything to save trees? Not everything, but yes use only required toilet paper, using e-statements(technology does helps us in more ways than one, doesn't it), respect them for what they give back to me. But I am not perfect.....

Am I doing anything to save electricity? Not everything, for I use my laptop incessantly for longer hours,keeping it on a sleep mode-that does make me a culprit big time, but yes I turn off my monitor whenever I am not using the system in my office, double check to ensure that the fan and lights in my room are switched off when I am not using it,don't like to put on the light in my washroom "On" all night, for I know the poor souls(read lizard, cockroaches, ants, etc) wont attack me at night,remove the battery from the torch when it is idle. But I am not perfect.....

Just few of the many things that an individual lives with, and the adage "But, I am not perfect....." isn't a reasoning statement that I want to make to save my ass from the other colossal damages that I might be causing in these areas, but it is to accept that I am not able to control them as of now. Maybe as times fly I might find a way myself to bring them under my control.

Maybe I'll switch to a cycle soon, at least for my morning exercise* (*Conditions are: as and when it starts).

Oh by the way, I don't watch any daily soaps like Big Boss,Rakhi ka Insaaf kinda stuff, so would really appreciate a pat on the back for saving the electricity and my "mind".......
