One thing i noticed:

We Indians have a habit of keeping our personal surroundings say our home clean but mostly at the expense of littering the public spaces. I have seen people sweeping their houses and dumping the rubbish in the roads right in front of their houses. This extends even to our eating habits. Many of us keep the curry leaves and bones after chewing on the table rather than in the corner of our plate. We don't realize that it looks bad just because it has always been a part of our life style.
