Life Trash

A simple seed in the beginning. A small shoot raises its head from the womb of the moist and soft earth. You see tiny, curled leaves still shy of the air waiting to be showered by the encompassing sun to open their eyes to see the world on top of mama earth. Then it grows painstakingly slow as various predators play with its various parts at multiple points of time. One final day after god knows how many years My Mango Tree become strong and hard to deal with every blow given by a human hand except to the part on top where its still soft and tender! Then come summer and tiny and cute baby mangoes start coming out of nowhere, dancing to every move of the winds, swaying themselves like a dancer to the tune of rhythm -a site that is more captivating than any car made by jagaur. I hang out of my bathroom from the fourth floor, tempted by its wealth that has become ripe with every passing day and beg the Lord to just let me loot one of its numerous, tender, smooth, curvaceous fruits! And ...

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...

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 d...

This year Mahashivratri- the most famous hindu festival that involves praising the Lord of Death- Lord Shiva, was different for me. Unlike most of the past years where I used to sit at home enjoy the holiday from school or work this year I celebrated it by doing something which was not entirely expected even by my great grandmother had she been alive today or by many other devotees or even my mom who pestered me to offer atleast milk to the great divine. In contrast and oblivious to her demands I was forced to join my office team and a truck load of some 80 volunteers from all walks of life at Borivalli national park or what some of you might know it as the Sanjay Gandhi national park –the Lungs of the polluted Mumbai city. Spread over 8 kms this beautiful national park is home to the shy leopard who loves to dine on humans every now and then but does it an a way that puts its life in danger as humans have this habit of poisoning every potential species which it sees as thr...

What are mangroves? these can be called trees that can grow upto the height of 120 ft that are buffers between the land and the sea and protect the land from continuous soil erosion from the tidal waves from what you just see in the pictures.The most exciting features about mangroves are they grow in quicksand like areas near oceans even if they are logged down for fuel wood they have the tendency to regenerate themselves ( just like the phoenix) when they are touched by sea water again mangroves line the entire coast of mumbai which goes upto some 1000 kms Humans as usual are at their best doing what thye have always been good at that is destroying the mangroves for persuing their acquaculture- fishy.. culture by cutting off the supply of fresh sea water to the mangroves. Check out some of these pictures which show the muddy area in between the beautiful greens which are natural protectors against storms and cyclones from the oceans. As most of you might be aware off that Mumbai the p...

This is the one channel that gives a nature lover like myself a real eyetonic and general knowledge about where , what is situated, especially good for those sodium lamped brains like myself who just refuse to love the beauty of geography. I really want to share the brilliance of this channel. The host roamed around with the New Zealand prime minister just like you would roam around with your childhood friend in a new place when you come down to meet her at her hometown. The brilliance of this episode was that it showed the PM - a woman- so carefree down to earth but yet with a never ending zeal for anything and everything. I learnt about a new therapy that is offered by the Kiwis- Thrill therapy- consisting of boating in a motor boat at speeds ranging from very stable and steady to high rash speed just to de stress person- methodology: from no stress to high stress and then reaching ground. a ride which i really was dying to have but couldnt as i was watching it on TV. Then the Brill...
