Before it goes to Ctrl+alt+del its time to Ctrl+s

I born in a town (Sasaram) where I have literally no access to nature. I was introduced to nature by none other than Mike Pandey. After watching "Earth Matters" I got to know why loved to visit the nurseries around my town. These nurseries are situated in the far West of the  town. Around these nurseries there is a dense bunch of trees. Since my childhood I loved that place, I didn't know the reason behind it.
 After reading various books and during my PG in environmental science, I found the reason behind it. And the reason is not complex besides nature being fairly complex. And the reason is - we are made by nature so there is no-brainer that we like it by default. It's inside us, we have to listen and follow our heart. Then our mind will act in similar manner. 

I can still remember those rainy days when I used to just stare on trees, plants , ponds while it was raining. This could go on and on for even several hours. I never felt guilty watching rain even my next day was term end exam. 

Recently I visited to Pangot and the most amazing thing there was - crystal clear sky at night if no clouds wandering here and there. That moment my eyes felt alive- my mind dived into the depth of the sky. I was calm and relax. And that type of calmness I felt only when I was in Kanatal in 2012. It took 3 years to reach that soul level calmness. My whole office was partying in the night while I was busy watching stars at Pangot. What I missed most there- my family should have been there to watch those stars along side me.

We have surely forgotten our roots, from where we came(city,village?), from where our food comes(malls,supermarket?), from where the fresh refreshing air comes(ACs?) from where our drinking water comes(water purifiers, municipality?). If you think any of the answer in the bracket is right- sorry to say you have surely not gone close to the nature enough. There is one answer to all the questions- All comes from the nature in their raw form, you need not to refine them to reach you. And these things comes from nature for free. See the current scenario you can correlate by yourself
  1. You now pay for food, if you are a farmer- you have almost no choice but to purchase seeds from big corporates.
  2. You now pay for fresh air- through air purifiers or air conditioners.
  3. You now pay for water- municipality, water purifiers and water tankers
 If we don't stop polluting our mother Earth, future can be very dark where we have to purchase some compressed air to breath, just what already happened to your drinking water. We need to stop this mess. And the best way to do it is to-
  1.  teach our kids the value of nature, by taking them away from city or town to a natural place.
  2.  Saving the nature in its current situation i.e. Ctrl+s and then step by step giving nature back whatever we have taken from it.
If we don't start Ctrl+S nature can take its measure to rectify it which is equivalent to Ctrl+Alt+Del. Surely you don't want this to be happen to your kids. I have already written the current scenario in details what can be done through the tag.
Some images of nature can be found at

“I’m blogging about how I’ll remind kids to press Ctrl+S for nature for the Shortcut Safaari weekend activity at BlogAdda.”

A Bimbo World

America is bombing, Russia is bombing, the sidekick nations are also bombing but ISIS is still hale and hearty. Like a hydra, you kill one, many more are born. For the survival of the ISIS, there has to be money power to manage affairs and buy weapons. And Money is her oxygen, ISIS can’t survive without it. But this money is coming from the sale of oil. . It barely took anytime, USA within three days, had Japan on her knees during the Second World War. America has more respectable feathers in her cap, if one goes by the conspiracy theories about her technological advancement.

But still when it comes to terrorism, somehow America keeps on killing and terrorism keeps on growing. The capitalistic model of economy believes that there is invisible hand of god, in a free economy, which shows light to the economies. For a vibrant and proper functioning economy, it’s very important to have free and fair trade. Any restrictions will only harm the business. In the global world everything is interrelated, and now such a time has come, if China sneezes, oil market gets cold. The best way to end the reign of terror is not by bombing her but cutting off her oil business. But the question is who is buying her oil and why can’t it be stopped?  Wasn’t it a rational and logical, if America and Russia had given a little thought to it, before flashing their tools of manhood, modern weapons.

In international affairs it could be my hallucinations, myopic understanding and the smokes from oil might have blurred my vision but atlest I can be sure of what is happening around me. My Delhi, Dying Delhi. In Delhi there are two kinds of human species and mind you it’s not male or female. But they are known as supporters of Modi and Kejriwal. For the success of Modi failures of Kejriwal is required and vice a versa. The ODD-EVEN, more than improving the the Air Quality Index or any other thing has exposed the judiciary.

Like a pervert, the High court of Delhi wanted the pollution level to be down in just within a week of the trials. It asked the Delhi government if the pollution level is not coming down what’s the point of continuing with the scheme. To this Delhi government had her answer prepared, that it needed a longer period to conduct the trials, argued that the pollution had come down and showed with emphasis that the traffic has improved.

This scheme covers only 10% of the vehicles running on the roads, and Odd Even scheme will mean that, out of those vehicles, half will be on roads.(Not considering the cases, where people have the option of plenty to choose, having many four wheelers) So it means 95% of the things are maintained as it is. And on the basis of the 5% change, the court and people wanted to obliterate the pollution done since the last two centuries in just a week. What is more ironical and humorous is that the court demanding results and the Delhi government proving it. It’s a lot like a student proving a problem of mathematical induction, where he knows the end result but not the correct method to solve it but as he knows the answer, he proves it anyway and anyhow.

The judiciary few months ago, which declared that in an independent nation she is more independent. She refused to come under the control of ‘the legislative and executives’ and ensured ‘Indian democracy continues to be the tyranny of the unelected.’

How can one become adept to sit on the judge’s chair to ask why the pollution is not coming down? What it takes to be that person, who doesn’t know that environment is an open system, the pollutants from the nearby areas by the action of wind can come to Delhi and the damage of centuries can’t be wiped in few weeks.  The answer for this idiocy is that there is no concrete basis for one to become judge, any of the Tom, Dick and Harry can become a High court judge all he needs is to be in the good books of the collegium of the judges, who do the appointments, no merit, no basis, no grounds for selection or rejection (all you need is to be a practicing lawyer, regardless of bad or horrible for a decade). And this arbitrariness is called as ‘independence’ in their corridors.

From reservation to the election of the president, it’s the judiciary which has the final say in things, and our judiciary herself is like that ostrich, which has permanently buried her head into the sand. She will correct everything but not herself, she will wage war on corruption but will be blind eye to the erroneous selection procedures. And anybody who will try to show her that something is wrong, she will act against him, as speaking against the court amounts to contempt.

Hitler, Mussolini, Napoleon and others they demanded unequivocal support from their masses, they demanded blind support and they ruled like the ultimate authority, you were either pro Hitler or anti nationalist. Today in the battle of politics, the youth specially the ones from Delhi are in similar position. The Odd Even plan is not a wrestling arena for being a pro Modi/Kejriwal but for the environment. Environment is not your World Trade Organisation, where a decision in the favour of one necessarily will have to be against the other (weaker nation most of the times) but it about coming together to save the only planet that we have, to heal a little, our mother earth.

Odd Even, though I neither support or reject it altogether but this is not how you protect the nature. More than Odd Even plan we need a sustainable approach and that is to have CNG and electric vehicles in the transitional cities like Bhopal, Indore, Ahmedabad, who will be the metros of tomorrow, why we are waiting for Mumbai and Kolkatta to become the next gas chambers? Why we are not relenting from our habit of solving problems on the ad hoc basis? Why are we waiting for the things to deteriorate and environment to degrade in other cities? Why can’t we be ready with solutions in advance?

Humans have history of over 60 lakhs years and we learnt to speak and write few thousand years ago. But remember we survived when we couldn’t communicate, the naked man survived the harsh weather and nature. A lonely man living in a cave evolved to into the social animal of the modern world. We were at peace, when we had nothing. We were then ugly but it never mattered because we had the will to survive and we survived.

But what is more saddening is the fact that we have in the last few centuries, become only beautiful not intelligent, man’s modern progress is a very fast paced journey towards apocalypse. North Korea yesterday claimed that she has hydrogen bomb, she is adorned with the modern jewels and undoubtedly she would have found herself to be more beautiful after the detonations. But is this what we want? The bust of bombs, the erection of nukes, the pervert governments and brainless citizens, where are we pushing ourselves? Why are we so blind? Limited by nationalism bounded by professionalism, man has forgotten the art of rebellion, he has given up his inner instincts and reasoning for a Bimbo world.

How many Earth Days you will be able to celebrate?



Frankly speaking , I never wanted to give a day to Earth to celebrate, cause Earth is the base of life. It should be in our daily routine. Why do we need a day for Earth!!? - A slice from Wikipedia
Earth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network,[1] and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year.[2]

So, now you know it's for environmental protection. But why we need environmental protection now? Answer to this question may be long and complex. But I can extract these simple reasons  - 
Greed and Ignorance.


For details reasons and effects you can follow the following link.
http://rahulkumar07.blogspot.in/2014/05/go-die-homo-sapiens.html

Whatever damage has been done already, every individual can make small effort to reduce the damages done.

At First I am going to give you some generic solution for environmental protection.

  • Controlling the population[ At max two child policy- Only one right now Earth can afford]
  • Reduce, reuse and recycle.
Now let's move to type and pollution and their respective efforts we can make to reduce them.

  • Light only those areas where it is much needed or say necessary. [Light in your lawn at night makes no senses ]
  • Turn lights off whenever it is not in use. Apply technology to switch it off by timer or by something else like occupancy sensor
  • Remember: You don't need to light the sky at night.
  • Lights should be in downward direction not upwards if its for outdoor.
  • Intensity of the light should not be too bright.


  • Minimal Honking anywhere. [ No honking around hospitals]
  • Low intensity loud speakers should be used and should be used in moderate volume
  • Use latest technology to reduce the noise
  • Maintain your equipment to keep the low noise[ Vehicle, machines etc]
  • No dumping of products in soil which can't be easily decomposed.
  • Don't burn crop residue on ground.
  • Moderate the use of chemical compost and pesticide while farming.
  • Don't bury any kind of plastic in soil.
  • Use natural compost 
  • Try to minimize soil erosion by plating trees in those areas.
  • Diversify the crops in the same field.  
  • Don't water your garden or field with hard water.
  • Use water sensibly.
  • If possible have drinking separately and other water for bath, toilet and kitchen.
  • Treat industrial waste / domestic sewage at source.
  • Don't throw garbage in rivers/ponds etc no matter how dirty it appears.
  • Moderate the use of chemical compost and pesticide while farming.
  • Reduce electricity consumption. [ Major electricity still comes from coal]
  • Switch your electricity to solar electricity.
  • Try to minimize your carbon footprint.
  • Car Pooling.
  • Use of public transport.
  • Don't try to burn anything inorganic.[ Plastic, garbage etc]
  • Plant as many trees as you can.
  • Purchase local grown food

    To be continued...

    Go die Homo Sapiens

    Yes you read it perfectly fine, to sustain the mother Earth Homo Sapiens needs to die and they need to die very soon. The Earth contains 9 millions of different species but only one species trying to behave as Earth is made only for them. And you know which species I am talking about. In my opinion Homo Sapiens have reached point of no return. Enough is enough, Homo Sapiens you need to die to save those 9 millions species. Earth is not your ancestor's property because you are not even the oldest creature .
    Please watch the video below very carefully and to the full length.

    Previous call to my MAMA

    I have been always fond of renewable energy.  I always try to figure out that are we doing this right or there are changes  of further improvement ...?
    So out of this curiosity I called my mama to get knowledge regarding solar panels who has great experience of dealing with electronics and electric devices. He has already 4 panels. He answered my questions as:
    Price : 10 k max per solar plate 
    Power: 9A per solar plate 
    Warranty : 25 years!! 
    What he suggested  for my family  is that two solar panels  will be more than enough for any season. That means initial investment of 20 k. Because we already have Battery-inverter . He told that we can easily  run 2 fans,  a motor for pumping our water to roof top, a PC. A normal household appliance usually works on 5A. So there is enough power generated by these two solar panels to run our household appliances in the day with the inverter charging the battery simultaneously, which can be used in night to run the fans and lit the bulb or CFL.  
     So on the average one can easily  save 300 rs per month on the average from electricity bill .  So at this minimum rate in 5-6 years your investment will be recovered and you will be helping in reducing your carbon footprint as well as your country's.  This saving of electricity will save us from

       1. Burning our money or creating  a hole in our pocket 
       2. Burning coal which can lead us to following benefits 
                2a. Reduction of carbon dioxide 
                2b. Help us making save our forest which usually get destroyed in the process of coal digging. 
       3. Less dependence on government 
       4. Global warming 
       5. Fear of electricity crisis in chilling summer (April to july)

    so I have some questions in my mind after the call 

    •  Why government is not advertising or promoting this green thing /or any green technology?
    • Why government is not trying to solve our problems permanently 
    • Why can't they make a necessary rule to implement this who can easily afford this setup. 
    • Why government is feared to take hard steps, just because that they may loose votes? They may loose governance. 
    Note: MAMA= My mom's brother
