Too much to read

Too precious to waste…

Discovery channel says, after 30 years, 1 liter water will cost more than 1 liter of petrol, too much eh?

Too innocent to poach…

Tiger Population in India -
At the beginning of 19^th century - 45,000 ----------Year 2008 – Approx - 1411 or may be less…
Tiger – India’s National Animal…really?

The few minutes nuisance…

The result of few minutes of comfort, PLASTIC Bags--- I-WILL-NOT-DECOMPOSE-EVEN-AFTER-1000 YEARS…..It’s always wise to carry your own carriers.

A shop owner said to customer, “madam, please get your own bag, coz I have to pay 58 paise, for one polythene bag, if you buy one milk pouch, I would hardly earn anything on it.”

I would suggest to tax polythene bags to take that amount to at least 3-5 Rs, eventually, usage MIGHT decrease.

GM Crops – A harmful boon?

I have heard some positive but also some threatening facts about GM.

Positive like increased productivity, pest resistance properties, improved yield, less maintenance…

Negative developments like low quality, crop limitations as it is alleged that the land cultivated with GM do not support any other crop/seed due to its harmful chemical releases in that land, generation of new pests. It is also said that GM’s high cost and non availability and total dependence on it is one of the cause of endless suicides of cotton growing farmers in Maharashtra.

I don’t know if too much interference in all the natural processes is really gonna help.

Having info on GM or any other issue? Do Share.

Read about this in today’s Sakal. People in Nagpur got two frogs married to please the Monsoon to arrive, in short "band bajwa diya".

One of the heights of Superstition!!

Poor monsoon was waiting for this divine wedding of “made in heaven jodi” so that he could finally arrive!!

Or, People are thinking “why only we should suffer through marriage…let the frogs bear this, too”?.?

Bechare Mendhak!! I hope the lady frog don’t start harassing the gentlemen for a long holiday tour.

BTW, the guy in cut-out figure in 1st pic is known as most eligible bachelor of India, huh?

Any frog..i mean any Girl Reading...??

Good one

Whoever's it is, great creativity.

My Dear Activa

Finally they (RTO) picked my dear Activa!! For parking her in P1 zone on 20th April.

And I’m glad it happened. I was frustrated for first five minutes as it happened for first time. But optimism you see. I had a chance to see personally how this works. Its fun only till it’s happening with others.

Well, here is a tip (especially for girls) - If the pickers gang try to scare you of knotty, complicated process to get your beloved vehicle back and say that the process will sweep u of a good amount, don’t give a damn.

As I caught them catching my vehicle, they chased me instead of me doing that. I was left with two pay options Rs.100 or Rs.150, later with a receipt. After some bargain, just to check, I picked Rs. 100 option. The picker hopped back happily to his gang.

Later I said I will pay 150. As I said this, in a matter of second they all fled and advised me to get my vehicle from the centre!! J

It’s true that - 100 Divided by a Gang - is just too negligible amount to name it as corruption but at least that amount won’t end up sponsoring anything outlaw that it shouldn’t.

At the centre, after some consultation, I decided to pay off with a receipt whatever may be the amount as I didn’t had vehicle papers with me (one guy there said it would cost me around 500 bucks and offered to settle it at 250, again receipt less). I had to disappoint him too.

Final outcome was, I didn’t pay 500 or 250 but 150 with a reciept. To my surprise, I was not even asked for license, papers are far away.

You must have gone through all this, and may have had different experiences…mine was bit trouble less but full of future guidelines.

He is an Artist !!!

I was in my home when i could hear spellbinding sounds from Shehnai. I thought it was some function somewere, and they have took effort to play records of Ustad Bismillah Khan.

I came in porch just to breathe in some fresh air and was spellbound again to find this beared man in front of main gate playing that shehnai in actual along with his "naati" (as he called him).

My sis n me couldn't hold on but meet him and give him some words of appreciation and take a pic too.

So artistic, so hard working but much more down to earth, the duo from Karnataka. One must have never thought from ancient India that artist will have too wander in scrotching sun and give free treat to everybody's ear and not get even noticed!!

I wanted to tell him to pass on his art to next generation, but then I thought, for what?
