BP oil spill stopped.  Compare with Bhopal disaster.  Read an article in the news paper.  The author of the article questioned as to why there is no action for getting the proper compensation, clearing the factory in Bhopal.  As correctly pointed out in this article, the exact damage to the environment, loss of business to the people near the sea is yet to be assessed in the oil spill.  There is no loss of life reported.  But the US Govt. made BP to commit $20 billions.  Compare it with Bhopal Tragedy.  Loss of life huge, after effects still continue to haunt the survivors, the factory still stands as a testimony to the tragedy.  But the compensation got was peanuts that too after so many years.  Who is to be blamed? <a href="http://s13.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s13svas1949" target="_top"> <img src="http://s13.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=s13svas1949" alt="Site Meter" border="0"/...

Hear or see this four letter word.   Immediately your mind goes to two people, a man and a woman.   It just smack of the real meaning of love.   Love, we can call it a deep affection, is universal.   Mother ‘s affection to her children is the best example for Love.   Love can be between persons of same sex, don’t jump, it is friends, father and son, mother and daughter, you and neighbor and it goes on.   Why, love can be with animals, which makes them pets in one’s home. Is that all that means Love? Nothing more than that? More into its meaning, more   you get to it. Just search in Google for “meaning of Love,” there are hundred sites which speaks on love. The following are on love:   “Love is selfless. It gives without expectation, like the light that flows outward from the sun. It shines brightest in darkness. God is love.” “Everything in this world is created on the basis of love.” “Love must be as much as light, as it is a flame.” “ A d...

Presently I am in USA visiting my son.   This is my first visit.   Impressed with the country.   Lot of good things to see and adopt.   Travelled to Washington, Pittsburg, Nayagara falls, New York.   Covered about 1500 miles in car.   Amazing road infrastructure.   Invested hugely in laying roads and their maintenance is more amazing.   There is not a single road which is bad and require immediate attention.   No pot holes. Went through villages in-between.   These roads are equivalent to High ways, of course, with limited lanes. Cross roads are through bridges throughout.   There is always a entry and exit road at each bridge point.   All the exits lead to a rest   area, which is mostly having a very decent restaurant with good building. The road signs are fantastic.   Throughout, the board pattern and   their way of exhibition is the same.   At all intersections, there are signals including roads of villag...

I am using Apple iMac computer which was purchased very recently by my son.  A nice one to work with.

Indians are losing touch with our glorious past. we have forgotten our traditions, and ho allowing western culture to run  over our values, knowledge systems and ways of life.  This is the common complaint.  I think this is more true.   there are good things in western culture which can be followed.  But then there is no need to neglect our tradition and values.  Westerners still hold their tradition and value.  May be the lack of faith by the younger generation or the failure of older generation to infuse the same in their youngsters.  But the silver lining is that still there are a percentage of youngsters who follow the traditions and hold the value of Indian system.  So much, so far, so happy.

Just I read a news item - It is on Amazon forests destruction - Once a huge dense rain forest believed to be barely habitable, is today has five cities with population of over 3,00,000.  Large malls are coming up in these cities.  If this giant forest can be destroyed, who will save relatively smaller forests around the world?

One more  Mother's day (western culture) passed.  Many are happy that they gave present and greeting cards to their mother who will be remembered on next Mother's day. " Mother" a wonderful creature of God to mankind.  She is the only person who bringup the child for what is he/she. She does everything for the well being of her children even at their old age,if the mother lives till that time.  She is the only believer of what her child says and always has some thing to give her chidlren.  There is no need for a special day as the Mother has to be treated well throughout one's life. Make her feel that she is cared and that is what is required of a son/daughter.

Oil spill of Gulf of Mexico - another disaster.  Yet to cap the hole which they say may take months.  till then, the oil continues to ooze into the sea.  Why we make the clean sea into dirty by all means, plastics, oil, ship wrecks, sewerage etc.  Our next generation will get no rain or rain of all these items.

I read an article on Feel good plastic.  The first lines are "a thousand miles off the coast of California floats the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, a mass of plastic trash whose exact size is unknown but some experts say is bigger than Texas.  This article speaks about a company making plastic out of plants.  They are biodegradable and to start with they make pens. But then imagine the vastness of this garbage problem. Individuals need to start fighting against this. Start using the same bag while shopping.  Refuse to receive your purchases in plastic bags from the shops. A good beginning by a company. Why not by individual? Think.
