Start to think green


This topic has been boiling in my mind for a while. Its only now i have been able to put it out here. Climate change has been  named a real danger for past 200 - 300 years. Our increasing use of coal and petroleum products had already unbalanced the nature's balance of CO2, CH4(methane) and other green house gases. Although i am not a firm believer of," we humans caused the temperature fluctuations in the global  atmospheric system". But i admit the fact that we liberally donated to that already fluctuating system. Data from Antarctic ice cores reveals that from 600 to 1000 years temperature had been changing.

What may be the Reason?
Earth's temperature or climate as a whole had always been fluctuating. That is the reason why we had experienced warm, cool and ice-ages. Most of our climatic changes occurred in the past due to volcanic eruptions, solar winds, solar bursts and also b'coz of change in our planet's orbiting axis. Why it is saying that we increase the level of CO2 in atmosphere, while plants and other natural resources which release CO2 into atmosphere is not considered. Its b'coz plants and ocean can act as CO2 sink i.e. they consumes more than they release. But we can't consume our CO2 release and thus it is not balanced.  Moreover when the CO2 level increases it directly affects temperature level and also increase in temperature causes dissolved CO2 in ocean to be released(temp: increase is inversely proportional to solubility).

Possible remedies
Our consumption of non-renewable resources have been dramatically increased for the last two or three decades.Its high time we should check our use of private vehicles and take advantage of public transports. We should be more and more eco-friendly. In my opinion every citizen, however rich or poor he may be, should only own at most one vehicle. And secondly, private vehicles can use only on alternate days. Every second day should we use public transport. We should avoid printing office documents. Every office documentation should be made online. We could replace our craze for speed with craze for cleanliness and saving our planet, by adopting hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles.
                        We say cities are getting away from nature, but cities are the future for human beings, if we want to save our planet. We should migrate to cities instead of turning vegetation lands and forests into villages. That way we can safeguard our forests and other animals' habitat. We can cultivate on the villages and live in cities. Now a days new techniques for farming and gardening in cities were introduced.
                     It is our responsibility to take care of the nature and other life on earth. It has become our responsibility now, b'coz we are the torch bearers of life on earth. We are now at the top of the food chain. Every other life is at our mercy. With great achievement and power, comes responsibilities which are also great.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...

Long live humans

I always wondered by the fact that on what basis did they give Mr. Obama a Nobel peace prize. All that i can remember what he did is talking. Or is it because he wrote a book, then its definitely not a big deal at all. Even Paris Hilton did publish books. Any one can write a book now a days, if it is by a celebrity then its going to be a best seller even if it has blank pages. As far as i know you don't expect to acquire peace by talking, you need to do something for that. Even so i think he is much much better than Mr.Bush. In India we have a decent and respectable man as a PM but as we all know he doesn't have a say in any matter. He must stand up to his reputation. People think he is just a puppet in the hands of Congress. If we go to Italy it is worse in there. PM is a morally  deteriorated person. The man slept with almost every women he came across and is accused with paying money for underage sex. Still the guy is shameless. Another one is Mr.Gaddhafi who is not r...
