A Special Request

When I was selected and after I came to know that Sandeep da is in 4th year of his B.E then I thought I am the youngest climate champ form east zone. But on 6th of July when we all met I was proved wrong. There was someone who was even younger than me. What’s better he had academic background just like. Had science till class 12th and now doing political science. I missed him throughout Delhi cos I thought he will share those leg pulling sessions I had with the seniors and those big questions about how I being a history student come into environmental field. And after coming back to Kolkata I helped as much by giving those manuals we got in Delhi. He helped with the Political Science stuff. And in no time we were good friends and we found so much common stuff between us. Without him most of my formal dresses could still be not be used. I thought them to be worn only during the meetings with GB. But after meeting him I felt they are also stylish. I never used wallet thought it to be very primitive idea compared to cards. But after meeting him that surely changed. Then I could never have thought about Indian Independence Act 1947 had he not told me about it in such a way. More over I had been successful as a Climate Champ had I never met him. As most of the people know I always compete with myself rather than others but he was someone who gave me something to compete with. I could never have organised any of my events at such a standards. Unlike him I had more experience and I took help of others were my knowledge and expertise was limited. Which he forgot to do.
But then came the bomb shells. I had Japan in my syllabus and I thought that making Japanese friend will help in my studies. He had lots of Japanese friends so I sent them friend request on FB without asking him. On the other hand I am very serious in my work and love working with people like that. But I simply don't understand why He shows no seriousness while working with me. And then all the miss understanding started. I thought of ending all the relationship as a friend. But every time I had that feeling my friends convinced me not to do so and complied with them. But I can't keep my mouth shut if I see something wrong. I mean good friends fights but don't they get along again?
His face always reminds me of those Shakespearian tragic heroes who were so good in every field had lots of good qualities. But they had one small tragic flaw. Which sank there ship once and for all. He is a hero at least a kind of, but he just can't bow down his head and ask for help. I think if he wants to be successful in his life which I pray from the depth of my heart. He has to understand that a single person does not has knowledge and know-how of every thing on earth. I know I have sought help of many such person who are perhaps inferior to me in other aspects. He has to bow down to people and talk and stop being “introvert” as one of our Climate Champs has described him. I wish him a very good luck.
And I could have never resorted to this means of communication had he used more private means of communication. I think that we can solve lots of problems in the world by talking to each other. Rather fighting with each other. Therefore request him to talk and solve problems rather than going the other way around.

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 ...
