26th January 2007

We have very few occasions which prompts a normal person like me to something special: 31st Dec is meant to be resolution time, 26th Jan and 15th Aug suddenly bring up this "sense of belonging" to our beloved nation....
So I thought amidst these emotions let me do something worthwhile.... I signed up as a volunteer with Greenpeace. They have this wonderful idea of handing over a "Welcome Kit" which has seeds of a plant. I sowed those seeds, hoping it helps human beings reduce the horrible prowess of the omnipresent pollutants.

START A REVOLUTION TO SAVE THE PLANET.
PLANT A TREE TODAY.

Well said Greenpeace....

By the way I joined Greepeace to work for the Bhopal Gas Tragedy victims.

Cheers..... Long Live India !!!!!

Toxic Clouds, Blocking our minds

Imagine yourself in Bhopal on the midnight of December 2nd 1984 :

• Overpopulated bastee just next to the deadly MIC gas tanks at Union Carbide
• A marriage function in the bastee which usually faced tragedies, but was elated that night
• A marriage in a railway colony in Old Bhopal
• A poetic gathering at the Spice Square in Bhopal (assembly of hundreds of poets and poetry lovers)
• Event of Ishtema that day (the only day when entire India convulged into Bhopal)

Imagine a plight of all these people when the fumes of the world's deadliest gas might have caught them - Completely unaware (of what was coming and what the gas actually is). Common fallout withing seconds of sniffing the gas:

Vomiting, defecation, urination, suffocation and exhaustion of oxygen......

Read on to know who were the villians and heros of this barbaric event in the entire history of India.

Five Past Midnight in Bhopal - Dominique Lapierre & Javier Moro - a must read please. Read and ask your friends to read. Be informed and inform !!!!

Pestering Eyeballs !!!!!!

"Yahan faltu khada rehna mana hai"...

Saw this placard in a CD shop outside a very busy suburban railway station somewhere in Mumbai...... at first look I found it very funny... I saw it...walked past it... thought... and then came back to click an image.....

I wondered what made the shop-owner put up this placard in his shop. I classify buying roadside CDs (MP3) as "Impulse Buying" and doesnt the so-called "Window Shopping" aid in strengthening a buying decision????

He must have surely faced a tough time with on-lookers or may be he has a roaring business and doesnt like these on-lookers block the way of prospective customers... nonetheless kudos to the courage... "Caveat Emptor"?????... hey buyer (prospective buyer/onlooker)... r u really the king????
