Down To Earth


I (Indian) don't know how you feel but I feel that there is a World Cup-shaped hole in my heart after digest the Semi-Final match of World Cup 2019. Every time I convince myself by the fact that its a game and a game can always go wrong. 

Well...heyyyyy...whats this?? A WATER TRAIN! A  train carrying 2.5 million liters of water arrived for Parched Chennai. Clearly, most of the cities have been grappling with an acute water crisis. Cause of this disaster is natural and man-made as well. 

We have no control over nature but on ourselves only. We all have to take a pledge to make conscious efforts to live mindfully because, in years to come, it won't be as easy to survive and care for other things as today. It's our choices that matter and results in prevention from polluted air, water scarcity, global warming, etc. 

Let's start from the basics and small changes to our daily routine life :

1. Use fewer dishes to avoid multiple washes. For this, you can use section plates for your meal and a single glass per member for drinking water. In my home, we have our glass stand which carries our 3 glasses and we use that particular glass for drinking water in a whole day. A bottle is also an option but the use of glass is healthier than drinking from a bottle. 

 


2. Use of bucket instead of a shower while bathing can save a lot of water. I mean, a lot. 



3. Refusing the use of plastic is tough but possible. You just need a little bit of planning like carrying jute bags or any cloth bag whenever you go out for shopping. I know it will take time to stop using plastics completely but at least, DO NOT throw the plastic waste on road, rivers, and beaches. Use dustbins as they said to us. Give them a chance to say Thank You. 



4. Reduce the use of electricity. Use only when required. This step will give you small bills and your contribution to a healthy and happy world as well. DO NOT forget to unplug the plugs and off the switches when not in use. Keep an eye on others too. 

5. Buy seasonal veggies instead of imported ones. 

6. Use LED bulbs and energy saving appliances. 

7. You can opt watering cans instead of running water to water the plants. Wastewater from RO and washing machine can be used in watering the plant. 


8. Last but not least, please offer your waste food and peels or rinds of the fruits to the street animals. They can not shout out loud when starving but we humans are lucky to have that voice to express our pain, lucky enough to have a roof, very lucky to have a mind. So, LIVE MINDFULLY.

How many of you are following the above steps to save our home planet called Earth?

Birthday Blog

I can’t keep calm because it’s my birthday, However, various things are left to be learned in the wiser way.  I am a girl of December, May God bless me and fill my tumbler. Because birthdays are for celebrating the blessings you get, ..from the experiences, life lessons and people you met.  My mother says, do not blow out the candle and cut the cake, ..light a lamp ( दीपक   ) instead to maintain the positivity you make. I grew up as I became a mother, But sometimes, I behave like a clutter. Now I am in my thirties, Hence, I started focusing only on my priorities. I am not seeking an expensive gift, ..but I am trying to achieve the confidence which makes me lift. I have been looking for my best version, Is there any shortcut for this conversion? I do Judge myself to see if I am a better person than I was yesterday, Trying to obtain the tenacity to make personal improvements day by day.   Happy Birthday to ME 😄

Better than words

  LOVE - A strong and deep affection for someone.           The fact is that feeling is constant and remains the same. The only difference which you might feel is the way to express the Love. In early years of a relationship, partners express their love through words. They say their feeling as clear as water in the sea. But the more years of your relationship or marriage go down, the less words of love come out. Fortunately, exceptions are always there.           Thus, never judge your partner. It happens because life runs along with the changes and we run with the life along with the acceptance those changes. Priorities change. Persons change.           Well, they say," pata hi nahi chala "tumhare sath itni jaldi itne saal nikal gaye". But I feel different. " mujhe to lagta hai ki na jaane kitne saalo se hum sath hain".             It was 2016, when I met ...
