environment

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.

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...

Indian traditions

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.
