First Monthly Evaluation Meet at BC.

It was 12th Aug exactly three months from the my 19th birthday and the date when I sent my project plan. And exactly one month from the date we left for Delhi. Delhi I miss you a lot. 12th is really very lucky for me. I got there way before time cos the train schedules are in a way that if I couldn't have gone at that time I would have reached way late. But thanks to Amitava I didn't got bored. Who with his No Independence Day theory kept me busy. And I am busy with that even today. Well all the guys came at time except Biphasyee Di, Tullika Di, and Vineet.
There was an Interactive session with R A Lohia from Indian Plastic Association. Thanks to Souran da. Then he gave the presentation about his project. Then Mr. Lohia talked about use of plastics. Rather proper use of it. I think someone from the south zone is doing a project on plastics. I think he could use the help. I am very sorry that I have forgot the name of the champ. But it remember it was I guy. And he talked about that during the Rastrapati Bhavan visit. Ok the presentation, and video given by him was very helpful. Even have taken it for showing to municipality. Hopefully they will like it. Apart from that Mrinal Chatterjee of the ICNL ( Institute of Climbers and Nature Lovers also joined us on the meet and gave us very useful and practical ideas relating to our projects. He has also promised to take us on a trip to Suderbans so that we can see how climate change is affecting the people at grass root level. Then came the time when she(our Project Manager) asked from us about our projects. All of us have done great job I must say. Well I really think I should do more. But the problem is that I have done a lot of things from the long term middle term goals but many short term goal are yet to be finished. It is because I have found that the situation have changed a lot in Municipality (due to the last elections) and have become much more productive than before for the Second Phase of my project. Whereas I have found it a bit difficult to do few of the short term goals related to my college. I have finished the carbon footprint calculation. Actually I have done the data collection but Ayan da and mychrollophyl.com will calculate it from us. Therefore I didn't wanted to sit and waste time. So I have started to prepare the ground work for the second phase. I have also made sure that I have proper support from the different governmental and non-governmental agencies for my project.
I must thank British Council here because of them our Municipality is taking my active help in doing the works relating to environment. So what could be better for a 19 year old than making decisions regarding his home town at such a young age. I have got such a confidence working with the political heads that I want to help in any place of any one of yours project where we may need to deal with them.
So bye

Destination Moon - Pallava Bagla, Subhadra Menon

In 2008 Indian Flag was planted on lunar soil. But how did Indian reached their? What started with sending sounding rockets for the benefit of the newly formed developing country ended up being the leading space programme in the world? It gives all the details on how the Indian Space Programme evolved. Starting literally from scratch, and fight foreign embargoes and technology denial regimes it evolved in to country’s if not world finest institution. It shows how it started under the visionaries like Vikram Sarbai, Homi Bhaba, and the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, and was subsequently supported by different governments. The space programme it self shows that if given in the right hands and in down in the best way possible it can not only be India’s best but also world’s best. It is surely inspiration for all the crumbling government institutions. In the later chapters it also gives us an insight into the future of ISRO. It also have the interview Dr G.Madhavan Nairof ISRO, Dr....

Negative Vote

This year I won’t be able to vote because I will turn 18 on 12th of May. So I have decided to ask as many people as I could to vote this year in this LS election. But who ever I told to vote said that whom we should vote for no one is good. In reality also all the member hardly differ from each other. Every on speaks in the same voice. No says something good for which we should vote for. And today’s youth is not that fool who will be misled by there false rhetoric. So the best way to not to vote for those people is not to go for votes. But in this way a whole generation will be created who will have no belief in this democratic system. Previously when there was the paper voting system negative votes can be caste in many ways but nowadays the with EVMs this is not possible. But what if a voter doesn’t like any of the candidates. His only option as I said above could be not to vote. But is that fair. Election Commission must start the Negative Voting system. At least then we could in rea...

Thank god it’s over!

2008 what a damn year this was. From start to the end this can’t get any worse than this. Nothing good has happened this year except that Manish have called me. This is just horrible year right out of some horror movie. Thank god it’s over now or perhaps I am going to die. I just hope that next year turns out to be much better. We will surely see how Obama is going to work in his oval office. Then we have a major task ahead of us. This is really a colossus task isn’t. I don’t know whether I am going to be able to give vote. Most of my friends will be able to but it is very sad. And I am really going to miss school days. I don’t know how the college is going to be. So get good cakes and make this year really great. Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
