Lets make a change.

“Mother Earth has everything for our needs but nothing for our greed.”
Mahatma Gandhi
Today our world faces numerous environmental problems created by the greed of the human civilization. But we are the new breed of hope who have to work hard to make this world a better place to live in. Today we hear about global warming, climate change, sea level rise etc. These all are related to each other. Nowadays every activity of man is resulting to a great threat for our evergreen world. All countries are now thinking about the serious problems that have been already created by man and finding solution against those deadly serious problems. It is clear from the problems that the environment will not change until each one of us become sincere about our environment. This does not means sitting idle and only thinking for the environment will do. We have to do some regular, sincere, and necessary jobs to improve the present local & global condition.
According to UNO, India and mostly the cities of Kolkata and Mumbai are at a great danger from Climate Change and Sea level Rise. According to UN scientists after 10 years most of worlds costal towns may be under sea including these two cites too. So we have got very less time to do a massive task. If we want to save human civilization from disaster we have to stand up and save our mother earth that have given birth to us. Therefore, we have to start working from now to save our earth forgetting all the individual comforts.
We have got very less time to change ourselves and save our dear planet. So we have to start working from now to save our earth. Try to forget about your individual comforts. Very minor change in us could save human civilization and the world. The work of ours will not only help us but also future generations. Think it may be because of us that coming generations could see this beautiful world as we have seen. Think about your younger sister, brother or cousin who still have much more to see in this beautiful world.
Don't you have to do a lot of things just switching off an unused electrical appliances, or close an used tap. Instead of using motorbikes and cars use public transport or bicycles. Just these kinds of small activities can save our mother earth. Yes we can save our and we have to.

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...

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...

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...
