GO GREEN | BREATHE CLEAN - Plants to the rescue

A scene of reduced visibility of my locality in Noida In a report issued by World Health Organization (WHO), Delhi-NCR’s air is supposedly the world's dirtiest. With the recent records of the Air Quality Index, a public health alert has been issued in Delhi-NCR because the air quality is hazardous. We are aware that air pollution is a grave challenge to the environment as well as health. Most of us tend to think that air pollution takes place only outside. That’s not true. Not just the surroundings but even our homes and offices have been trapped by it.  And whether we realize or not, the monster pollutants are already inside us.  But before I tell you how to go for a healthy living, let me give you insights on what exactly is happening to Delhi and NCR.  Why has the visibility suddenly reduced? For a past couple of days, as I look outside of my house in the morning, and it looks like the clouds have settled in my balcony and things are barely visible. The...

GENIUS BY BIRTH, IDIOT BY CHOICE- Story of my life

"If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse." ~Jim Rohn~ I’m sure you all must have seen or heard about THREE IDIOTS; a movie that instigated young minds from the early 2009-10s to pursue what they love, no matter how many fingers are pointed against them. Similar is the story of this young lady who was born a genius but chose to be an idiot. But mind you, being an idiot is not at all easy in India!  Two years ago, I graduated as a Genetic Engineer, First Class with Distinction from Chennai, got an A+ in my research project and managed to win a thousand hearts in my university. Not just that, I qualified GATE and ICAR exams in the very first attempt. But is that enough? Well, people here are considered successful only if they are able to crack college placements, enter into IITs and IIMs, travel abroad for higher education or grab a PhD in the respective field and so on.  I was a sheer f...

THEATRE TALK WITH MANAV KAUL

Image
All the world is a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.                                                               ~William Shakespeare~ We all see Mumbai as a City of Dreams but have we ever wondered how people actually land up to this city and what really it takes to live that dream? Well, India is precisely a land of villages and small towns where millions of dreams take birth and then those dreams mobilize these artists to places where they strive to make the best out of it. One such dream is being lived by Manav Kaul, an ace theatre director, filmmaker, playwright and actor. Manav has emerged as a brilliant actor in Bollywood, most recently in Citylights and Kai Po Che. He has been doing great work in theatre and his notable plays include  Shakkar ke Paanch Daane, Peele Scooter Wala Aadmi Bali ...
The Cigarette Stench This poem summarizes how a beautiful a lady was before she was away from smoking and later, how the addiction spoiled her being.  Hey woman... do not spoil your being 'coz there are people who love you so much... This ones for you on World Tobacco Day!  Erstwhile, With skin; so untouched, the countenance so gleaming.. Those lips; so beckoning, parroting the stories of a savoir faire.. The metacarpus; so primed, dashing off the prodigious contemplation... Your portal and dentures; giving an endowment to relish the flavors of aliment.. With coiffure; so furbished, breezing you in so conspicuously.. That avidity in your perceptions, revealing your ecstasy.. The cardiac organ of your body; so undiluted and inclined.. Those pleura and the brawn; bequeathing a vivacious debonair drive.. Like a woman of protoplasm; casting out redolence.. Oh beautiful lady; so resplendent, so awe-inspiring you were!!! Extant, With skin; so s...

Masters in Political Communication- Speeches by Candidates, An Analysis SPEAKER: Narendra Modi SPEECH: BJP Dogma with an Eye on 2014 Elections AUDIENCE: People of Sehdol, M.P. OCCASION: BJP Rally in Madhya Pradesh EFFECTS: A Very Good Impact on both BJP and Non BJP Voters. Narendra Modi presently holds the PM candidature from BJP in India. He is a master of words which speak volumes about his confidence and authority in all the speeches. Born an orator, he displays a strong deportment which reflects his dominant persona and traits of a leader. In his speech at Sehdol, he made a clever attempt to woo the voters.  His campaign was a clear intention of grabbing power in the state which was evident from the way he started his speech saying that- “These days it’s so difficult to find venues for BJP rallies; No ground is big enough as we have so many fan followers.” With such a self-centered beginning, he was all set to entice the audience. His words focused...

Walking- The Undemanding Scheme To Stay Hale and Hearty! “He, who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything.”    Human body is a definitive exercise engine. In this world of machines, people prefer to sign up for gyms and other fitness classes and are seen doing vigorous activities to shape their bodies. But how about the people over an age of 40 years; Are they ready for a heavy workout at a gymnasium everyday apart from their daily business? In the era of modernization, most of us have overlooked the conventional form of exercise known as Walking. Only because it sounds too simple? It is not just an exercise. Infact, a lot more can happen over a walk. Let us find out. In today’s frenzied lifestyle, with an idea to budge my slothful body I decided to forfeit my Saturday slumber and set off for a sunrise walk. In the earliest hours of the morning when the crack of dawn was on its way, I arrived at Vardhman Sunset Point (Ma...
