Electri-City

Today our life in cities are inseparable from electricity isn’t. T.V.s, PCs, mobiles, laptops, refrigerators, and blah blah blah. Just everything runs on electricity. If you still say no. Then think about the time of load shedding and if you don’t have any backup power source. Now if you think no. Then I must say you are really a good guy. But electricity is runs my PC, lights up my house and charges up the phones. So I love it but I also love to use it judiciously, to save it for future. But unfortunately not everyone loves so. Electricity is really a valuable and important resource in today’s world. We should therefore use it wisely. Save when not needed and if possible then produce too. I was doing my Environmental Education project on electricity production in India when I came to know that India produces much less amount of electricity than it needs.
So we signed N-deal. Our leaders assured us that it will lead us to a better future. Not against it at all. But for how many years nuclear energy will help us. Perhaps one decade, two decades even 5 decades. But hold on we are again going to face the energy shortages for sure. And this time it will be much bigger and worse to contain. It got to be nature-friendly resource which should give power to our houses.
We should save as much as electricity as we and we have to switch to some renewable resource to produce our electricity. As we are installing DTH dishes on our terrace we should also install Solar panels.
Why only solar panels there are lot of ways actually. But it got to be us who got to take the decision. For different people different solutions are there. You just got to select one of them.

UnIndianing India

Today our Republic turns 70years. In these year we have raised ourselves from ashes of partition and hate, braved conflicts internal and external. Yet we have carried on as a republic for so long, because we stayed true to the ideals of our founding fathers. The ideas that shaped our struggle against a colonist, against the communalists. But very often did our republic find itself at the verge and it seemed the dreams that freedom fighters saw for our free nation might be too much. Last few months if not years have been like that as well. When we seem to be turning our backs to the principles that defined our country. Principles of unity in diversity. Where so many people from so many different part regions, religions speak so many languages, can live and thrive together. Where different ideas from anywhere is not frowned upon. Where one does not have to fear to speak his/her minds out. Where people from different places and religions were welcomed not just as guests but as God...

Together we can

I liked the idea given by Sulakshana. Why should we all work separately and not together? After all, all of ours projects are related to climate change. We are just tackling it through different fronts. Someone is working for green building, someone in climate finance, someone in awareness etc. But my project has got best of all the worlds. So surely need the help of all you guys out there. But then the one of our Martian Mr. Raghav’s worry is very correct. What I think we should do is we should simply write about what we are doing and let the help flow in. All the things which Raghav says are true and practical. But then we have to make our project impactful. And this work cannot be done alone for sure. So we should focus our energy at not more than ten projects at a time. But surely we can pass suggestions and all to others. For example we in East Zone more precisely ICCs in and around Kolkata have 4 waste management projects so we are doing it together. I also have a waste managemen...

F.R.I.E.N.D.S - can’t we be……….

“At the stroke of the midnight hour when the world sleeps India will wake into a new life and freedom”. These were the words which started a new era in world history. It created our very own great nation India and two similarly great nations on world’s map. (Well I am not going to give any history or geography lessons. So go ahead and read on. It is important coz it is the title of my blog. And my first blog is a bit related to it). But world never knew about those pieces which were remnants of millions of the shattered hearts of people residing in these broken countries. The broken heart which people carried with them made forget the definition of friends and friendship. But now the time have changed. We can’t live as our grand dad and dads have lived. With our young heart, passion and energy to do something new, can’t we remember what friendship is? Will we also foolishly maintain the same legacy of hate and distrust with our neighbours? But somewhere around a voice comes to me and s...
