Global warming
Climate change, Global warming the fantasy words most pronounced recently. What does it mean to me. Rather, how did it affect me as an individual. What I have done as remedy. Here it goes,
What are my contribution to increase in global warming:
1) I don’t stay anymore in my village, where bullock carts where in use till my 7th or 8th grade. I stay not even in my hometown now. I own a two wheeler in Chennai, contributing to the already overwhelming pollution.
2) I breathe out carbon dioxide and I fart. Of course, I cannot stop both of this.
3) I am part of the contribution made by the air-conditioning system in my workplace.
How do I get affected by Global warming:
1) Temperature in my village keeps raising day by day.
2) Back in India, every newspaper publishes every year ‘Current year is the worst raise in temperature in history’, which means temperature is going up exponentially.
3) I read it across multiple online news, see the related info in multiple documentaries.
4) Few birds which i remember seeing them in my childhood are not seen anymore in my village. Not sure of the english names for those birds but ‘Chittu kurivi, Maina, Thavitu kuruvi’
5) Till my schooling I have not heard about mosquitoes in my village, we used to sleep just in the field watching the sky. Mosquitoes are something that tortures me only in my hometown. BUT now they are seen increasingly visible in my village as well and I lost the freedom of sleeping with sky. When googling I read somewhere increase in warmness let the spread of mosquitoes.
What do I do as remedy:
1) We were planting few trees in Chennai. But did not follow up whether they are fine now.
2) I try not to use my electrical systems when not necessary. Disclaimer: Sometime I forget my bathroom lights.
What else I do about it:
1) I curse developed countries and any country that I read in newspaper that they are cause of global warming.
2) I just keep talking about it everyone.
3) I watch documentaries about it. ‘Home’ is very good one among those.
All in all, to conclude I am doing nothing about the so called global warming but I want things to change. Almost everyone I meet also do the same. Until and unless each of us are going to do something about this we are going face the bitter truth sometime sooner or a bit later.
Love
I was reading Brida and liked the few lines among the many good ones.
‘….no one can possess an afternoon of rain beating against the window, or the serenity of a sleeping child, or the magical moment when the waves break on rocks. No one can possess the beautiful things on this Earth, but we can know the and love them’
‘ People give flowers as presents because flowers contain the true meaning of Love. Anyone who tries to possess love will have to watch its beauty fading’
‘Thats what the forest taught me.That you will never be mine, and thats why I never lose you’
– From Paul Coelho’s Brida
In my dream..
questioning – working for and what – for quenching the thirst – to move out from here – a dark night – scary night – at least it was told as – need to search if the dark possess the water – for the present light has it not – a thirsty soul – in a fairy tale - surpassing surprises – angels n demons passing by – closing and opening eyes with years passing by – waiting for the embrace – will i meet the source – still flying – with a soothing orchestra – in my dream ……
2010..

Nature
How better it would be :
To start a day with the sun,
To get awaken by Rooster rather than the electronic gadget,
To feed the Hen and chicks,
To open the gate for the sheep herd to let them go for their grazing,
To have a cup of milk from the cow herself rather than from the refrigerator,
To start working in the field in the early morning than buying treadmills and paying the gym,
To have the food prepared from the ingredients grown in our own field than buying in super market,
To bring back the cattle from their day and let them in their place,
To prepare the dinner and have dinner with three or more generations under the moon,
To rest in sleep for the whole day’s tiredness instead of sitting in front of monitor like this blog,
Its unexplainable,
I am lucky,
I have seen and been a part of this LIFE,
Atleast for a fraction of my lifetime,
I am sad,
I am not taking this to the next generation.
We are running so fast,
Against this real LIFE,
Replacing everything with mathematical figures in National/Multinational banks,
Not sure of the way reverting back,
There is a whole mass of human race running against this LIFE and I am one among them,
Mother nature guide us, guide me.
Not sure where I am running…
என் பாரதியின் நினைவாய் அவன் எழுத்துக்களே இங்கு !!
எண்ணிய முடிதல் வேண்டும்
நல்லவே எண்ணல் வேண்டும்;
திண்ணிய நெஞ்சம் வேண்டும்;
தெளிந்தநல் லறிவு வேண்டும்;
பண்ணிய பாவ மெல்லாம்
பரிதிமுன் பனியே போல,
நண்ணிய நின்முன் இங்கு
நசிந்திடல் வேண்டும் அன்னாய் !
One evening…
One evening it happened..
I heard her telling ’sssssshhhhhhhh’
There was total silence…
I could look at her face, she was expecting me to do this…
I could see in her eyes…
I am giving all my energy and trying hard…
This time I am gonna do it…
Enough of lying on my back all the time…
Push and one more push….
Yes, I am gonna do this time..Yes…
Done…I am here the first time lying with my face down…
The Silence broke..I can hear people clapping and laughing around me..
Then My mom came to take me in her hand..”Congrats my baby, you turned around by yourself for the first time in your life”
And I was giggling with my toothless mouth :D
Fingers crossed
Never thought i would be here so soon….mind get sickening…. fingers crossed….. anticipation…. calculation…counting days….wat to do…i dont know…i dont want to….whom shud i ask…wat to ask…. when there is no one to listen… will i be able to cross…. Its pain.
10 more days….
Droplets…
One by one,
Slowly… all together,
Falling at every door, including mine,
Do you know that i am alone this evening and at this time,
Sitting alone, looking the place from where you have come !!
Critch Critch Crtich from the laptop,
Sound of my breath going in and out,
Roaring sound of my refregirator – this is all i heard from the morning,
What told you make this new sound at my window,
tap..tap..tap…tap ta daa tap…
tap..tap..tap…tap ta daa tap…
Thousands of miles up and down,
as clouds, as water, as vapour,
Thanks a lot for coming at my door…
Would you mind my words in mind,
Little by little, I am asking you a promise,
But, only if you promise,
Be generous, Be happy,
Please shower to all those in need,
Thanks a lot for this evening, see you again sometime soon !!
Just a thought !!
Just a thought..
Venom = Toxin secreted by animals. Do we possess the most unused venom.
What will happen if it was designed in this way - Whatever ‘A’ thinks can be listened by ‘B’
Human race will become extinct. Still its taught in almost every corner school of the world we should speak truth to each other !!!
