Generating Awareness towards Human's actions on this Earth

As Long as you are breathing you are living. 
You are alive as long as you have breath in you. 
Imagine yourself floating  in space and your oxygen tank runs out and you are fainting due to lack of oxygen and breathing very heavily and your eyes are slowly shutting down, you know you are going to die now and your eyes are a few seconds away from shutting down forever. Then suddenly through the very micro opening of your eyes you see a packet of oxygen floating from nowhere towards you. This small packet of oxygen means life to you. A ray of hope, a ray of life is drifting towards you slowly and slowly. Only then you do realize that how important oxygen is for life.
Therefore we must save our lives and the lives of the future generations by saving oxygen on earth. We have to eliminate pollution from whole Earth in order to Live and have a sustainable future for future generations of both humans and other creatures yet to come. Plant more trees and stop vehicular pollution. Stop the Industries from releasing harmful gases in air that we need to breathe.
Detailed measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have been taken continuously for more than 50 years. The data show that CO2 levels have steadily increased every year. Today they are 25 percent higher than in 1957.
To have a better understanding of this topic and the solutions on this problem you can read from this link  Union of Concerned Scientists

Recently NGT ( National Green Tribunal ) in India banned the diesel vehicles from travelling to Rohtang Pass, Manali, Himachal Pradesh which is a Himalyan State. It not only banned diesel vehicles but also restricted the Petrol vehicles going from Manali to Rohtang Pass to 500. As the increase in pollution has been causing melting of glaciers. As vehicles release Black Carbon which after settling down on glaciers heat them up causing to melt them at a faster rate. Due to this some glaciers are being reduced in size. At some places reduction of 52 metres in size per year has been recorded on average. NGT asked the state of Himachal Pradesh to replace diesel vehicles by CNG vehicles and to arrange CNG pumps at various locations so that CNG vehicles could start operating but unfortunately due to carelessness of state government to address the ecological issues No arrangement has yet been done. Himachal Government fails to provide CNG

The locals are complaining about destroying their livelihood but saving their homes from pollution is for the larger interest of local people as they do not realize the dangers posed by the pollution on their environment. The tourists come to this place is for one main reason and that is the beautiful landscapes and availability of clean and serene environment which calms their head after living hectic lives in cities. They won't even realize the beauty of this place stripped away by pollution if they keep letting the tourists in such large numbers pollute this place.
How can these people be so insensitive towards their own homes. Are they so money hungry that they would sell their homes where they were born ? Where would they go finally ?? Delhi ?? The most polluted city on Earth or Kolkata the most populated city in India or Mumbai ?? The city that is predicted to drown given the rising levels of Sea due to same Global Warming.
People of Himalayas are blessed to have been born into the safe and serene environment. It's not like their livelihoods will be destroyed after ban, people have been living here for thousands of years before driving taxis and they can manage to live a thousand more with the ban.
The earlier the people realize the importance of environment for their future generations , their children the better it will be for the whole of Humanity and whole Earth.
Namaste

The growing threat to Women in Indian Society

After Nirbhaya incide nt occurred, the whole nation was in angst and fire, with numerous candle marches taking place all over the country in almost every town and city across the length and breadth of India. It was seen as a big event na tionally as well as internationally. The western media published it with same attentiveness as Indian media. The protests were rather big as they came as a part of series after Anna movement in which all country was pushed into a non violent revolution cum agitation lead by Gandhian Anna Hazare.  The flames hadn't been quenched and they were ignited after the Nirbhaya Rape Incident again. A girl in Delhi named Nirbhaya was gang raped in a moving transport bus by the driver conductor and their accomplices. Not only was she raped, but she was left to die naked in dirty sewer naked along with her male companion who was beaten but escaped death. She on the other side couldn't survive much even after Sonia Gandhi personally flew her to Singapore H...

Are we still Animals ?

We humans are social animals. We have been reading this since we were small and confused. I would think how can we be animals ? That was really not digest-able at that time. I know we are humans from my childhood but that was also taught i.e. the name Human or homo sapiens. Who actually labelled us with all these names ? Calling animal An Animal seems perfectly comfortable but calling ourselves Animals !! That's seems quite disturbing. I remember since my childhood, I have been seeing these little and big creatures all around us in the nature but I was always taught to be alert as they could attack you but know what . No animal ever attacked me. We the Humans, create such a big thing out of our security that we consider animals as a threat to our existence and not as fellow partners who, like us, eat food, sleep and continue to reproduce their own species but the only difference between them and us is the ability to Think Creatively. We can Create big structures, we can cr...

Tending towards Nature

When I think of this world, the first thing that comes into my mind is " why am I here ? " , " what am I supposed to do here ? " . I always think, " why am I in a form of matter ? " I could also be born in the form of a non living thing. When I see the wind flowing without any final destination, I dream I could also flow like it from one place to another. What Is GOD in Reality ?? Does he ever reside in reality or he resides somewhere else far from matter and reality. One more possible thing is - he is constituting all of us.                We all are living in a world made up of our own . Millions and millions of years ago, our ancestors, Apes used to live in co-ordination with nature, following rules of nature, living for three main TRUTHS- Eat, Sleep, Sex. These three things are the realities of nature. We should be living in nature, with nature. But truth is we got separated from nature a long time ago. When we started destroying for...
