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

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 ...

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...

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...
