Stop Right Now!!!

-


Hi there, thank you once again for taking your time to read this blog. Very recently while passing through a very familiar street in Bangalore, I realized that something was different in the street. The street looked wider and spacious. After mulling over for about a minute, it stuck me that the roads have become broader because the tress were cut down.

It was very disheartening to see the road barren of the trees. The beautiful canopy of trees on both sides that provided so much shade and coolness was lost. The street felt devoid of life. Why would the government approve for such a depressing act. Are not people ever going to realize that we have already swiped off a fair share of nature, and the more we are destructing, the more we are nearing danger.

I read in today’s news that the cab drivers in Delhi have initiated a protest. The protest was against the High court’s order of changing their diesel cabs to Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). The order was made two months ago and yet the cabs and taxi owners have not made the change. The order was passed because Delhi has become extremely unbearable in terms of pollution that in turn causes the excessive heat. I find it wicket to protest for a change that will help the betterment of people’s life. Should not the Delhi citizen take up more responsibility and make the city a better place?

The temperature all over the globe is on the raise constantly. It is high time, we, the people come together and stop the massive catastrophe we are heading for. Cutting down trees for industrial purpose, to build houses, and to widen the roads is only going to server the purpose for the current time. On the longer run, we are making the earth a place not suitable for living for our kids and their generation. We are at no will to consume all the natural resources around us. Cutting down trees has to end. The society has to show more inclination toward preserving our planet.


What are we going to do when all the trees will be cut and the land is desolate? What will we do once all our oil reserves replenish? What will we do when there are no rains? Hope these questions keep lingering in the minds of people. Hope for a greener and better world in the future.

    Nicely done Shobhana. I feel people are knowledgeable but Ignorant. They knows the trend of environmental degradation happening in our nation yet are not taking any kind of responsibility. Attitudes must be changed, for that strong education reforms should come otherwise there wont be any kind of change. Besides, government should also adopt certain environmental framework in their agenda. I guess you must have read about Bhutan, if not do read about them and their interest in preserving nature. They are awesome. Until then, lets continue to write on this and hope for the change.

    I think we need to think from both of their perspectives and beIng there for almost 2 decades, I know how hard it is to inhale fresh air amidst such high pollution. But it is not only the capital city which concerns me but our own Bengaluru. Do read this, http://www.deccanherald.com/content/543880/bengaluru-unliveable-dead-city-5.html

Hello there, thank you for taking the time to read this post. I would like to tell you that this post is completely based on my opinion and experience in life. I am no love-doctor or love-guru. However, with whatever knowledge I have, I think these broadly determine the quality and longevity of a good relationship.  So, the following are signs that you are in a good relationship…  You are honest with each other. Yes, it might sound a little  cliche , but trust me, when you are honest with one another and can look right into their eyes and say the truth, the chances that you might stick along for a long time is high. You can talk anything under the sky with your partner and still feel comfortable with them. Yes, if you people have been talking a lot with each other; sharing all your life’s experiences and expressing your silly dreams; then probably you are on the right track. You can feel a sense of calm around him / her. When your everyday routine ...

Boys Don’t Cook!!!

I am hoping that you are one of those people who got provoked with my title as to “Why shouldn’t boys cook??” then Bingo!! You are on the right page. Once again thank you for taking the time to read my post. After meeting many women out there, I decided to write this post. In fact, I am a bit dazzled and infuriated with some of the women that set in motion to write this article. I have written a story that closely describes what is in my mind.  Here goes the story... Swetha is all dolled up and happily moving around friends and family on the day of her engagement party. She had met  Suraj probably twice before. He was now holding her hand and walking her around lovingly. Swetha was an MBA holder, and was now working as a Senior Manager in an MNC. Her parents had done the matchmaking for Swetha and concluded that by all means Suraj was the best fit. Suraj’s mother brings along a small group of relatives and proudly introduces Swetha to them. Slowly after the...

“To travel is to take a journey into yourself” - Danny Kaye     Hello there! Once again thanks for taking time to read my post. This is the first time I am writing a travelogue, so hope you will enjoy reading it. So, I finally got out of my lazy life, and decided to go for that long-planned yet never executed vacation. My friends and I decided it was Thaila nd and Singapore.  Let me not bombard you with the entire trip at one shot, so I have split the travelogue into two.  Firstly, I will tell you about Phuket-Thailand and then about Singapore.        We first landed in Phuket, Thailand. We stayed near the Patong Beach at Deevana Resorts and Spa .  Patong is a happening place at Phuket and most of the tourists’ holiday at this spot. The roads are filled with food stalls, cafes, bars, pubs, massage parlous, shopping places, etc. The small coastal town is simply high on energy and bustling with nightlife. After loiterin...
