Bird species extinction- Ignoring reality?

How clearly I remember the waking up with the soft cooing of so many cute little birds back in childhood days on any typical morning. It was bliss to have experienced those moments of pure nature. Not only their calm giving voices but seeing them used to make me feel heavenly. I used to wonder how a soul is staying inside such a small bird. Many a times I have tried to get close to them to familiarize with them but long before they used to flee. No matter what, it was a great experience. I wonder where all of them are. Has any bad gang or group started to abduct them? Then I guess we must fight them. But wait. They are getting extinct in heavy numbers. I almost see none on a general day and when I do see them on a rare fortunate day; it is one or two in number. Are we the reason behind their disappearance?  I guess yes. Yes. How shameless we have become to not even making it a subject of discussion. Damn, we haven’t yet even realized it fully. Where are all of us getting so b...

Day and Night

Isn’t it foolish how the general world has developed the habit of sleeping at night? Night, the beautiful night, the starry night and adding to that the beauty of the charming and glittering street lights… Why had we chosen to work when the sun is out adding extra energy into the solar system? For ages, we have given value to Sun and not the moon. This idea pushes me down. We have been so biased to moon. Hardly do we find time to have a look at the beautiful sky. It is often said, we ignore the people who loves us and run after the kinds ignoring us. Isn’t it that we tend to look the blue sky glowing with sunlight and sleep when the moon offers enough opportunity to have a look of the divinity beyond? Moon is so small as compared to sun. Moon is not the reason we survive, it is sun. But at night, when the sun leaves us in dark, isn’t it that the moon takes the effort in stealing some of the sun’s light and reflecting it to earth for our good? Bearing sun’s reflection is a hard ...

Why am I a Vegetarian?

I am a vegetarian for many reasons. I am one of the people who come in the 5-7% range of all the vegetarians that exists in the world. So that way, I do fall in a wonderful category of a minority! Well, past 7 years I am away from my hometown into different Indian cities & I must proudly say that I have been learning the art of respecting other people’s choice for their diet & to settle with the fact that I could not impose my thoughts onto other’s parking. It is that part which is unethical. Mine and your worlds are different. The grass is green on both sides. As a fresher, when I stepped out of my parent’s den into the real world, I would say that I had many prejudices pre-set in my mind. I remember to avoid sitting with the batch mates in the mess during the initial week just to show off that I don't eat nonveg and it is impure to do so. It was a hypocrite behavior. I am grateful that I came into my senses quite early noticing the fact that it is disrespectful t...
