SIMAT TI GANGA

RECENTLY ON THE LOKSABHA TV THIS PROGRAM ON THE RIVER GANGES WAS PRESENTED CO PRODUCED BY  GREENPEACE FOUNDATIONS.

THE PRESENTATION AND THE FACTS COMMUNICATED WERE SIMPLY MIND BLOWING. THE GLACIERS OF THE ORIGIN OF GANGA AT THE GANGOTRI ARE DEPLETING IN A DANGEROUS PACE.

THE FACT IS THAT IN THE LAST 65 YEARS WE IN THE COUNTRY HAVE CREATED AND RELEASED SO MUCH AMOUNT OF CARBON DI OXIDE IN THE ENVIRONMENT  THAT WE DIDNT IN PRIOR 650 YEARS.

THE PRESENTATIONS REMINDED US THAT A GOVT APPOINTED PANEL IN THE YEAR 2002 HAD SUBMITTED IT REPORT TO THE GOVT. THAT THERE IS AN URGENT/EMERGENT NEED OF A PILOT PLAN TO LOOK INTO THE VARIOUS ASPECT TO TACKLE THIS GRAVE DANGER OF DEPLETION OF GANGOTRI GLACIERS DUE TO RELEASE OF HARMFUL GASES IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

UP TO 2007,THERE WAS NO ACTION FROM THE GOVT END.PRESENT STATUS IS UNKNOWN.THIS IS THE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN OUR COUNTRY WHERE WE DO NOT HAVE  TIME TO TAKE CONCRETE STEPS TO TACKLE PROBLEMS ON NATURAL CALAMITIES.

THE GANGES POINT OF ORIGINATION HAS LEFT ITS ORIGINAL SITE AND HAVE MOVE SEVERAL KILOMETERS BEHIND.EXPERTS SAYS THAT,IF WE DO NOT TAKE CORRECTIVE STEPS NOW,THE GANGES MAY DISAPPEAR IN THE COMING 50 YEARS OR SO,LIKE THE RIVER SARSAWATI.

THE PRESENTER,,SAYS,THAT IF THE GOVERNMENT DOES'NT TAKE ANY ACTION, ONE MUST PERSONALLY TAKE SOME INITIATIVES LIKE THE FOLLOWING

CREATE POPULAR OPINION TO PRESS GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTION.

ENERGY PRODUCING INDUSTRIAL UNITS ARE THE MAIN SOURCE OF EMITTER OF POISIONUS GASES IN THE ENVIRONMENT.ADVOCATE/PROMOTE AND OPT FOR ALTERNATE SOURCE OF ENERGY LIKE SOLAR POWER.

IN ADDITION,THE PRESENTER EMPHASYSED UPON CITIZENS OF INDIA TO REGULATE SOME OF THEIR HABITS.

ONE MUST BE ENCOURAGED TO WALK OR USE CYCLE WHERE EVER POSSIBLE.USING PUBLIC TRANSPORT INSTEAD OF PERSONAL GLORY WAS ANOTHER OPTION.

REGULATING THE USE OF LIGHTS AND OTHER ACCESORIES AT OUR HOME IS THE LAST OPTION SUGGESTED.

YES,YES,AND YES WE ALL SHOULD TRY TO TAKE NOTICE OF THE ABOVE SUGGESTIOS AND IF A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OUR SOCIETY UNDERSTAND THIS MESSAGE THE CHANGE WILL BE THERE TO BE SEEN.

POPULAR PERSONS,CELEBRITYS CAN DO A LOT TOWARDS THIS CAUSE OF  'NATIONAL IMPORTANCE'.

JUST PROMOTE THIS CAUSE IN THEIR BLOGS / TWEETS / FACEBOOK MESSAGES AND BY THUS BE PART OF A MOVEMENT,A MOVEMENT WHICH IS YET TO TAKE  GIANT STEPS.


Ganga bhale simat rahi hai, par Ganga mey hi sare BHARAT ki  sanskiti bastee hai.

RAJAT GUPTA AND ITS FALLOUTS

THE CALCUTTA BORN AMERICA RESIDENT 'RAJAT GUPTA' WAS SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS OF PRISON ON ACCOUNT OF FEEDING INSIDE INFORMATION TO HEDGE FUND OWNERS..BETTER KNOWN AS INSIDE TRADING IN THE SHARE MARKET.



THE JUDGE CITED THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN LONGED TO ESCAPE THE RESPONSIBILITY ON GROUNDS OF HIS REPUTATION AS A SAMARITAN.HE ALSO REFUSED TO GRANT BAIL ON GROUNDS OF  PENDING  APPEAL.


THE ABOVE TRIAL IN U.S SHOULD BE A EYE OPENER FOR DECISION MAKERS IN INDIA TO PONDER ABOUT.IT IS A COMMON FACTOR IN INDIAN CAPITAL MARKETS THAT INSIDE TRADING TAKES PLACE.


DESPITE OF THE LAW,SELDOM HAS BEEN THERE ANY EFFORTS TO CATCH THE CULPRITS .THE GOVERNMENT OF THE LAND DO NOT HAVE A WILL TO ENFORCE THE LAW,AS DONE BY THE AMERICANS.

WE SHAMELESSLY FOLLOW THE WESTERN TRENDS NOW A DAYS.BUT WE DONT TAKE LESSSON FROM WHAT THEY STILL PRESERVE.

THEY,EVEN TODAY,DO NOT LIE UNDER OATH.AND THEY PROTECT THEIR LEGAL SYSTEM FROM ENCROACHMENTS FROM CORRUPTION,ADMINSTRATIVE PRESSURES ETC.

THE LEGAL AUTHORITY IN THE COUNTRY IS OFTEN OVER POWERED BY CORRUPT GOVT. MINISTERS AND OFFICIALS AT LARGE.

THIS MIRROR OF AFFAIRS IN THE COUNTRY HAS TO BE CLEANED BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

BE INDIAN AND BE HUMAN

MANY THINGS ARE BEEN WRITTEN ON 'BEING HUMAN' ,THE SALMAN  KHAN PROJECTS.BUT NOW A DAYS WHO CARES ABOUT BEING INDIAN.                        

A COUPLE OF MONTHS BEFORE,IN THE IPL,THE TEAM REPRESENTING THE KOLKATTA KNIGHT RIDERS WON THE TOURNAMENT.NATURALLY,IT WAS TIME OF SHOWING HAPPINESS AND PRIDE FOR WINNING THE SAME.SO THE WINNING TEAM WAS FELICITATED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL.
                          
WELL, POLITICIANS ARE MEANT TO OVERDO EVERY THING TO GET POLITICAL MILEAGE OUT OF THE SAME SO ARE THE SILVER SCREEN STARS.  BUT THE MEDIA !!!

THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN WEST BENGAL PERHAPS WENT MAD WHILE REPORTING THIS EVENT ALL MOST THROUGH OUT THE DAY.EVEN IN THE NEWS BYTES,IT WAS THE MAIN TOPIC.THAT DAY,WAS THE DAY ON WHICH VISHWANATH ANAND MADE ALL COUNTRYMEN PROUD BY WINNING THE WORLD CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP .THAT TO,ON FOREIGN SOIL.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SPORT EVENT CAN BE IMAGINED BY THE PRESENCE OF PRIME MINISTER/S OF ONE/TWO COUNTRY WHO WERE ANXIOUS TO KNOW   A BOUT   THE  RESULT.

IF THIS MAN HAD WON IN ISRAEL OR RUSSIA,HE COULD HAVE BEEN WEIGHTED IN GOLD.BUT HERE IN INDIA,WE,WERE,WITNESSING THE TAMASHA CIRCUS OF THE KOLKATTA KNIGHT RIDERS VIA W.B.GOVT.

YES,WE ADMIT,THAT,LOCAL CENTIMENTS DO HAVE A CERTAIN IMPACT ON OUR MIND BUT TO OVERLOOK NATIONAL CENTIMENTS IS ,IN MY VIEW,CRIME OF RAREST NATURE.

OBSESSION WITH LOCAL CENTIMENTS WILL LEAD US TO NOWHERE.                                IN FACT,DUE TO THIS CENTIMENTS ONLY,WE THE INDIANS HAVE FAILED TO RISE AND FEEL COLLECTIVELY AS AN INDIAN.


BEING INDIAN IS ONE THING AND BEING HUMAN IS ANOTHER THING.IF WE CANNOT BECOME A TRUE INDIAN WE CANNOT BE BETTER HUMAN EITHER.BEING HUMAN IS TO SHOW TOLERANCE AND RESPECT TOWARDS OTHERS IRRESPECTIVE OF CASTE/COLOUR/SEX OR RELIGION.

WE CAN JUST HOPE SO THAT SOME INDIVDUAL EFFORTS WILL TAKE SHAPE OF A COLLECTIVE  EFFORT TO REGAIN OUR PAST GLORY.
