And that sometimes it only takes one little step, one single push to strive for better neighbourhoods, waterbodies and cities. Noticing a polluted pond at a nearby temple, she and her father proceeded to take pictures and make inquiries about the matter. She narrated their experience through a handwritten note. Kanika could not believe her eyes. A few days after she raised the issue, she saw that not only had the temple pond been cleaned, but also a new notice was put up, warning people of a fine of Rs 500 if anyone was caught littering.
