Green is not always OK

Excerpt from the mail sent to all the major News papers and the television channels in the city:


I don't know whether to cry or to get angry seeing the pathetic state of Bengalooru's Lakes. One such example is the Ulsoor Lake near M.G.Road, Bengalooru. The current state of the lake is really very bad. It is not only hazardous to the life in and near Ulsoor lake but also is a Black mark to the city of lakes.


I just can't understand why people just throw anything and everything into this and other lakes without thinking twice about what may happen to the nature. In the pictures attached, one can see so many plastic covers (from milk cartons to Potato chips' bags). If this continues, then the Govt. should ban people from entering the lake's premises or a heavy fine should be levied on those who make the lake poisonous. Moreover after the last week's Summer showers the state of the lake has become worse. The drain water has got mixed with the clean water and the lake waters colour has turned GREEN!

BCC had cleaned Ulsoor lake just 6 years back (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/2106698330.cms) with the help of Madras Sappers, but today if one sees the same lake it is very sad.


Please help and/or do something good about all the lakes and esp. Ulsoor lake. I see this lake every day/night and I just can't take the bad that is happening to this lake anymore.

SAVE LAKES; SAVE ENVIRONMENT; SAVE EARTH FOR YOURSELF

Education - In need of a revolution!

If the mountain doesn't not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain. If the poor can't come to education, education must reach them at the plough, in the factory, everywhere.

Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man

The quality of education that a student gets in this world is gradually deteriorating and, may be someday we may find the word Education merely in the dictionaries or in some books only!!! What is the reason for this? Who is responsible? Can this be corrected?

The teachers often complain that students don't listen to their words. Parents complain that their children don't study well. Students complain that it's boring to sit in the class and just listen to the 'printed words'. And here comes a question : Whose fault is it anyway?

During the olden days in India, there were these Gurukulas, where the students were left with the Guru until ones education got completed. The pupil used to learn whatever Guru taught him! Other that teaching, Gurus used to inspire their pupils, lead them in a correct way. And thus the students used to reach the summit almost with no difficulty.

These days the word quantity has been more emphasized than the word quality. A teacher asks a pupil how much more money can he pay than the last one and tells him that much good teaching he gets. And this is the reason why we can see the mushrooming of tutorials and educational institutions in every nuke & corner of the city. Also, it has become much easier for the rich to get through the examinations by just paying some extra money and also any kind of certificates and marks cards can be bought from the market.

A Bad Teacher just speaks
An Average teacher just teaches
A good teacher just preaches but never practices
But an Excellent teacher inspires & leads his pupil in the right path.

It has been told that Home is first school. Mother is the first teacher. Nowadays how many children get to spend quality time with their parents? The parents just want to earn money, because they think with money anything can be done even though their inner soul never accepts this. This leads to blind education of the children at home. Since, the children don't get to be nurtured under the guidance of their parents, they start concentrating on something that is artificial soothing and stress relieving but very dangerous such as drugs, cigarettes, alcohol etc. or may even get affected by some psychological diseases such as depression.

A teacher or parents often scold the younger ones that they are fools instead of saying that the work they are doing is foolish. And the latter ones often end up being fools. Thus the well-versed and experienced ones fail in correcting their wards' weakness. Instead of showing the silver lining that will be there in the dark cloud only the darkness is showed to the children. And it is very obvious that they believe the world is filled with darkness alone.

Seldom we see that a person had got a very good teacher, loving parents, admiring and caring brethren but still he had become a black spot in the society. Why does this happen?

Very often teenagers miss the route and step into path-holes thinking them to be shortcuts to a different world. This is the age when one thinks that whatever he does is right and all others are just hypocrites. We can also see some people following a completely different culture which is confusing and not-understandable and far from reach. The main reason for this are the modern day cinemas and westernization. It is shown these films that life's just piece of cake and with a .35 revolver, a fast car and with money anything and everything can be obtained. For someone who is more an uneducated than illiterate, this seems to be the easiest way to live and often follows the same, but at last ends up being nothing but a biz Zero and a great loss to the nation.

Our producers and directors should be more careful with this. Instead of just shooting a film over some thingamajigs, they can make the same educative and thought provoking. Everyone should grow the habit of thinking and correcting oneself than just blaming someone for whatever has happened to them.

The man who offers an insult writes in the sand but the one who receives it is chiseled in the bronze...

No student these days needs just education, also along with it some entertainment - i.e., edutainment. In other words, the modern education should be a right mixture of learning plus enjoying. Every individual of a country should get quality education over quantity education. It should not become a business of give-and-take between the student and the teacher instead a win of the good over the bad.

Not all of them are born to lean. Some of them do excellently well when lead by someone. So, teachers and parents and wise people should lead the rest for the benefit of their own and of their country. Do not just copy others without evaluating and practically thinking whether the same can be applied in their's own life's too.

Should you expect anything

Don't expect anything
For You get nothing

Life's Just about giving
If you are understanding

You will be something
Otherwise, just a thing!

Thing of Beauty is a JOY forever

Thing of Beauty is a joy forever

What is a thing of beauty?

He said, the girl next door with silky hair and enchanting personality,
Is a joy forever!

The beautiful face that I see on the mirror everyday,
Is a thing of beauty and a joy forever!

He said, bread, money... honey,
Is a thing of beauty and a joy forever!
