Story: The first and last of Obscenity.
Story: The first and last of Obscenity.

When I was in college, just growing stage , I saw a lot of people trying to establish themselves as grown-ups by throwing in some vulgar words as occasional embellishments. They sounded very bad to my ears because our mother and aunt always told us not to lie, not to say bad things, not to take someone's things without being told, etc. Even in our house words like Be, O-be, A-be, which were often used by shepherds and shepherds, were considered bad and therefore forbidden, which are now often heard among school children in the city. Our children are no exception. But to convince them, at least not in front of us.
Anyway, seeing and hearing like that, one day I also thought that I would talk a little bit like that. That day, I and my friend who used to travel by bicycle together, did the practical class on Saturday and left for home early. The main road from the college is about 500 meters uphill so we are walking. All of a sudden I said something to my friend adding a small slang word as ornament. As if feeling a little heroic, I raised my neck from side to side
As I looked at to show my masculinity, I saw the sir who did the practical about 50 feet behind us and his bicycle walking. My high neck bowed down in shame immediately thinking what Sir would think if he heard that ornament. Even though I didn't ask him, he didn't reacted and even today I'm not sure if he heard, but that was the end of that heroism. I've never been the same.
Once in my working life I got into a beating for protesting against loudly uttering obscenities in front of my quarters. Still, there is a lot of pain in the hearing of dirty words, such as words that spoil the honor of mothers and sisters. Even in the workplace and sometimes with big executives such embellishments are heard , pardon me but there is no hesitation to say that most of them belongs from Jharkhand, Bihar and of UP.I never sit in a tea shop, street corner, rock for this nausea.
But how much can be protested everywhere?
However, I heard that the Prime Minister of our country Shri Narendra Modiji will bring a law to prevent abuse on the common places, I am very happy with that, I hope that the road will be free from bad words like his Swachhata Mission, and the path of everyone including mothers and sisters will become smooth and fragrant one day
