The fine line between hypocrisy and advocacy.

The experienced hot shot: climate change is essential!

Its going to ruin the entire future! (AND MY STOCK EXCHANGE MONEY)

The lowly subordinate: yeah sure sir you bet we agree on that-climate change is going to have a diverse impact on livelihoods.

The experienced hot shot: (irritated) ah well do whatever you were asked to do this morning and don’t forget to book my flight by business class and don’t forget to mention that airconditioned luxury car in our UNDP budget for climate change project.

The lowly subordinate: Well if I may ask……why do ‘we’ want an AC car sir?

The experienced hot shot: arrrrrrrrrrrrrrh growls, scowls and many ageing frowns later—have you ever understood the term; using for future investment {from a funder’s money}? Do you want to take that expense of the Mercedes C class from your salary?

The lowly subordinate: ah well! (Gulp) now that you have made crystal clear I don’t think Sir there is anything left in the grey area but definitely what you said makes sense- buying a car right now for the project can be used later………(please don’t ask me for what coz I don’t give a shit)

The experienced hot shot: One more thing – (almost shouting): Don’t try to show your confusion to other people its very annoying to see what’s so confusing when I am talking to you!

Do you think I talk greek?

The lowly subordinate: No not that I am cofused but just wanted to know how we can afford a guy who asks for 50k while our work cost comes to just 20k. (feeling that another dumb question was just let out unintentionally!)

The experienced hot shot: environment conservation is something which involves moving people out of their houses where they sit smugly tilling their meager plots of land so that we can plant eucalyptus trees on those plots. Now you are not capable of doing this are you? ……paused for a few milliseconds fiddling into his comp,

Just put the 50k, will you?

These matters I can take care of!

The lowly subordinate: (Thinking- eucalyptus in a drought affected area- wooooow!). Yes will just make the changes you asked for and sh*** it to you!

Venice of the east- UDAIPUR- city of lakes

Udaipur city is one of the best hill stations in India though some of you might be not in the mood to believe this. Most of us Indians who are not from Rajasthan state which also gives shelter to the great Thar desert. Then comes the obvious conclusion that Rajasthan is a desert like place all over and apart from sand and dry heat plus cactus, this is where we have gone wrong. When I came to Udaipur for my one and a half year debacle with an NGO job i just saw how wrong i was. The place has beautiful lakes spread out all over the city which also fulfill the drinking water requirement of its people. In addition it has settled right among the Arravali /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ range. So it has the most beautiful treasure of biodiversity and every nature lover -indian or foreign should drop by and try out the following scenic places. one more wrong notion that i would like to nip in the bud is that of Rains- rainy season is the most beautiful in the region that just adds to the sheen of the green i...

Why do certain NGOs always oppsose?

When India became a democratic country and every body got this birth right to speak anything that was on thier minds the forefathers didnot realise that beyond a certain extent whatever is said will be crap! That is what i think is happening to people in NGOs today. They make a hue and cry over any darned thing that doesnt fit into their fantasy world. It starts with just a plain cribbing over a particular issue about which they cant do anything actually that can be called concrete! Then from their they issue orders to subordinates to collect info on the same so that they can pour over it and waste taxpayers money in various un imaginable forms. Finaly the government is coaxed to give a bit of attention the buckets of crap that is put infront of it by these NGOs and pass an line them in queue for potential discussion of mitigation of the crap especially since of these people of come out as the front line guards for environment conservation. Take the forest right act of 2007. Opposition...
