Open letter to spitting sprinters!

Dear [Not-so-dear] Spitting sprinters,

Of all the people who are collectively working towards degrading the surroundings, only your breed has been able to let the blood out literally. Bloody stains we could all see. Sometimes I doubt that investigating agencies could get confused while taking samples that whether it is real blood or just another betel nut spit.

First thing first, I fail to understand the correlation between happily chewing betel nut and proudly spitting it around. If that taste is so bad which makes you throw it out, then why have it?[ I presume that whatever you have is edible] .Even if I set aside your wish to chew whatever substance you want,still second question lingers on , that why are you always on the spitting spree, be it from moving bus or while just passing by a lucrative red stained corner,seriously Why??. As per my observations, places which gets the maximum remain the public ones. If spitting is such an indispensable habit of yours, why not in the space between your bed and bed-side table or in the expensive decorative plant kept in the drawing room?

Third another genuine question that pops in my inquisitive brain is why not on all public places , why you people are so selective ? I mean our metro stations, airports, malls also need such abstract art that your creative spitting styles make. I suspect that there is a strong motive behind, you all have paid taxes too and you want to show that it belongs to you also.Right?

Before you wipe your lips and try to show the beautiful pale yellow teeth in a shameless grin, let me have the opportunity to try to answer all these right away, because I am sure you cannot complete a conversation without spitting .

You just love the flavor of betel nut , that tobacco laden pan that gives you a high and cannot forgo this habit. You take immense pleasure in making your mark wherever you go.Since it’s hard to do something worthwhile to do that, easiest way is to red mark it. Oh, you are so proud of you and your entire breed! You may demand a nationally recognized contest for spitting sprinters. Moreover, spitting inside a spittoon looks like your right of freedom to spit is being taken away by restricting in a mere spittoon .That is why one can find red stains all over it rather than inside.

Common people it’s your saliva, keep it to yourself! Not even tiny ant walking on the road needs any of it. And if it is a medically recognized problem, please keep a personal spittoon of silver, wood, steel or whatever fancies you. That would be highly appreciated.

Thankyou!
