I was in Sucre', the capital of Bolivia in the last week of September. I read on the internet about the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to be soon launched in India .
Early in the morning I went for a walk in the main park of the town. I noticed a lot of activity and saw a number of municipal helpers cleaning up the place.
It was surely a special occasion or a VIP was coming to the park, I told myself. I requested our Spanish knowing guide to ask one of the workers what was the special occasion for the cleanliness drive and weather the President of the country was to visit that park during the day.
The reply that I received put me in my place. No there was no special occasion and it was just the daily cleanliness routine, I was told!
