Krazzy Pour

In last four years which I spent in Kolkata. I have never experienced such a horrible kind of rainfall. Just three days before pujas it stopped. Half of the pandals were left, half of the idols were left. Streets full of water. Thanks to god that there was no rain in those three days. Everyone enjoyed a lot. After all it is the biggest festivals of Bengalis.
3 Years before I didn’t believed all those prediction by scientist and geologists about changing rain pattern. Every thing was just going good. But it was monsoon it used to rain and then stop. But it was 27 July 05 which changed everything. I still remember the hooded streets of Mumbai, and all those who died there. That year Supreme Court added Environmental Education in our syllabus. And I started to recycle and reuse paper. That was what I could at time. But now I believe and search for any such warning given by those people. They have recorded a rise of rain fall in eastern India annually whereas there is a decreasing trend in northern India.
India still is an agricultural country. And people in villages still wait for rain for there harvest. Unfortunately decreasing trend is shown mainly by the places which grows the bulk of food resources. But increasing trends is noticed in the places near coast. It looks like a huge disaster is waiting to happen. Not only farmer’s life is related to rain but all of ours are too. And it is not only flood and drought which are going to affect our lives. Irregular monsoons will disrupt every system of our lives.
Here’s one example. As I said before pujas there were rainfall West Bengal. And all idols were half done. I heard one of my mother’s friends critiquing the rainfall and saying that an idol maker has committed suicide as he was unable to meet the deadline. Isn’t that pathetic.

Blink: Malcolm Gladwell

The author describes the main subject of his book as "thin-slicing": our ability to gauge what is really important from a very narrow period of experience. In other words, spontaneous decisions are often as good as—or even better than—carefully planned and considered ones. Gladwell draws on examples from science, advertising, sales, medicine, and popular music to reinforce his ideas. Gladwell also uses many examples of regular people's experiences with "thin-slicing." Gladwell explains how an expert's ability to "thin slice" can be corrupted by their likes and dislikes, prejudices and stereotypes (even unconscious ones), and how they can be overloaded by too much information. Gladwell also tells us about our instinctive ability to mind read, which is how we can get to know what emotions a person is feeling just by looking at his or her face. We do that by "thin-slicing," using limited information to come to our conclusion. In what Gladwel...

Food Force

Food it is the most important commodity in our life even today when we are living in 21st century. 16 Oct that’s today is the World Food day. Ironically this year world faced one of the worst global food crises. World food reserve went down to there lowest point in 25 years. Food prices soared. This triggered inflation in several countries from Egypt to China. Even riots in Mexico and many West African governments fell when they became unable to give foods to there people. UN even predicted that this could result in rise of terrorism and crime. But still we made through it at least sitting here in India, I feel that. But still when papa says that food prices in the market are touching the sky. I feel there are still a lot of people who are out there not getting the proper amount of food they should get. Different people from different parts of the world cited different reason for this crisis. Some said it is the over consumption of developed world and under consumption of developing wo...

Climate Criminals

There was a seminar on Climate Change and Global Warming in the women' college. And most of the speakers lambasted repeatedly the United States of America for all the climate crises which the world is facing today. Thought there is not an iota of doubt in this fact USA is the biggest polluter on the planet today. But the exaggeration by them is simply the by product of the left (mis)rule which have created anti America but they them selves have done nothing less than what the Americans have done. Cos if they were so responsible to the environment then they could not have created a ministry of environment for sleep only purpose. If it were not the hard efforts and iron will of environmentalists under Subhas Dutta. The smoke spewing 2 stokes could still have been there on the roads of Kolkata to pollute. And we have seen that how reluctant the government was in this case. And the most recent one was the exclusion of Environmental Education marks from the class 12th score when going ...
