A pledge worth making

 Dear Readers,


I've finally decided to keep up with the job of spreading awareness among the peoples of the world and singn in more frequently. I've finally decided on some hardcore action... The world will only change if we want it to change, not by its own will.Thus we need to act... and act now!

What do I mean by this hardcore action thing...?

For this I need a little help from you people...

What I want you to do is.. to spread a small message through whatever means you have with you... be it twitter... facebook... myspace... gmail... yahoo or any other means.. it is up to you people to see that we survive... You survive...!

The message goes as follows:



"I, a member of the wide community of humans, who live on the planet earth, which we regard as our mother, and respect as a mother, hereby declare that today, I have become aware of my social, environmental, and ethical responsibility for the conservation of the planet and thus i, considering myself and relatively mentally developed creature, take on the responsibility of the conservation of all flora and fauna of the whole world, and thus ensure my own survival... and hence make sure that the world becomes a better place to live in!"
Will write sooner or later!

'Mom's Birthday'

Dear Readers,

You might look at the headline and think that your mom's birthday has come and gone... but don't forget the other 'big' mother that you have!

As the content clearly depicts, the blog that thou currently read concerns with the environment...It therefore becomes some sort of a responsibility to write

something special on the occasion of something like the 'Earth day'.Therefore even if I

had been quite busy on the actual date I find it easy to cover up by writing today!

Its not just my but the resposibility of the 1000 million people of the world to come up and save their habitat.We celebrate earth day by refraining from using poly-bags on the date... but not just use, but throw, burn, waste, bury and excessively produce these degraders of our earth on every other day of the year! Of what use is the earth day then...?

We switch off the lights for one hour throughout the world just for the sake of the earth... or so we say, and forget to switch off the single light bulb in the empty rooms of our homes... is that how we help 'mother' earth?

Celebration of Earth day should be each day of the year...by burning candles, not of wax but of the hope of survival... by bursting crackers, not the real ones but the bombs of the environment depleting substances.This is how we can make a small repayment to 'mom'!

and by the way...

Happy Earth day!!!

Abhishek

Dear readers,

It’s been a long time since I last wrote. I had been out of the city for a short while... to Nainital. It’s a city built around a Tal (lake). The city is known for schools and hotels, both of which are present in copious amounts. But I doubt that the city will not be known for its cleanliness in near future. A commendable effort has been made towards making the city clean and green there in Nainital. Named the ‘Butterfly’ scheme, the effort aims at making the city cleaner by removal of the most fatal enemy of the soil, Polythene. The program functions through the collection of poly-bags from the city dwellers from there houses and then their dumping in special garbage boxes that are scattered throughout the town and all this at bare minimum of expense. Clearly, the people responsible for this effort have plenty of grey cells and will get both environmental awareness and cleanliness through this effort.

As I woke up in my bed at Nainital and opened up the curtains to look at the beautiful lake, I was astonished to see large whirlpools on the surface. I rubbed my eyes in order to ensure that I was not hallucinating, but still, the typhoons were intact. I thought that it might be some sort of mirage and let the matter rest.

The next day when I was on a stroll with two of my local friends I had made, on the Thandi sadak (Cold road) that runs along the lake, I saw the whirlpools again but they seemed less of whirlpools now and seemed to be large circular disturbances made as if some creature was breathing from the depths of the lake. Mesmerized, II asked my friend about the strange phenomenon. It was then when I came to know of the hi-tech reality behind the veil, the municipal commission of Nainital, troubled with the problems like lake continuously getting polluted and the fauna in lake dying, nearly a year back placed some highly sophisticated machinery inside the lake that maintains the oxygen levels as well as cleaned the lake once of all the garbage with further help from the 'butterfly' scheme. Appreciable work my friends! Truly commendable!

Regards,

Abhishek.

Now... or never!!!

Hello readers,

Sorry for that large patch of absence from writing... been busy.Anyways I'm back and with much to talk about.I was through my board exams and through much turmoil to have time to think about what else is happening around me.Time is wierd... it is least with those who want it most.

The climate in my city used to be extremely pleasant in this time of the year.Rains along with moderate temperatures could be experienced.But a sudden change has taken place this year.My city has been experiencing some sort of heat wave from the pase few weeks, and to add to it no rains have been down.What I am most concerned about is the people's response to the change.they could'nt have been more indifferent!

If such temperatures continue... we will have sands in the place of snow! And no one apart from us will be responsible for the disastrous consequences.

People.The time to think is long gone... now is the time to act... we have a chance for survival... now or never!Its not as serious as you think it is... its much more!

Will write sooner or later.

Abhishek.
