How long we are going to sleep?

Last day world celebrated Earth day. We speak a lot we ask everyone to do a lot. But in reality we just do nothing at all. This year I spent the worst Earth Day ever in my life. Half of the day there was no electricity and half of the day there was no water. And most importantly there was grief of losing a very good friend. Rimili she was such a good person. She was not so attractive. That was the reason lot of my friends avoided her. But she never ever behaved badly with us. She was always good to all of us. She won us all with her love. But now when she could have seen the good days she went to God’s Own Place. Where ever she must have gone people must be very lucky.
But I am just feeling that I am responsible for her death. We all are responsible for her death. How long are we gonna sleep and have ridiculous dreams about how better live are we getting. I ask you have our parents lived better lives than us or not? I think their lives were not so dependent on some few. They were independent. Today we have ACs, Computers etc but neither can work without electricity. We are so dependent not on these resources but on our selfish dreams to be the king of the world. We are not the king of this world and never could we becoming that. Faster we realise it better it is for us to live on this planet.
I really don’t want to give another lecture on environmental conservation. We all know it what can happen and how can we stop it but how many of us do that. We don’t have time. So put the words into action. Or you would be the one who will write same thing when one your friend is gonna die.

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...

The Placement Season

Almost an year ago it was the same time of the year when most of us were at our peak of nervousness. We were job hunting madly. It was a mad house. Class notes were replaced by job details and then by SOPs. We all did end up getting jobs though. Infact half of us got job in the very first day. Which for many turned out to be a disaster. What I learned in this whole year was we do lot of things just based on peer pressure and want to conform to the social norms. Higher package, bigger brand the better. And in all that cacophony we forget to listen to our hearts. Two years in TISS prepares us for many challenges that we would face in future, yet we decide to settle for things simpler and easier. If we put ourselves together we can achieve so much for our country and ourselves yet we fail to realise most of it in time.Yes some do realise it before other do and take that bold step. The fact that I am writing this post thousands of miles away from home in a foreign nations speaks vo...

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...
