Lethargy-cal-Whisper

Let me start like... Once upon a time there was a village in India name Nandanpur. The villagers were very peace loving people, and  the village was kinda little far off in the countryside, there was very less outsiders' interference there. People were living with - 1. No roads - during rainy season, no one can enter the village without a bullock cart, similar to this video, would draw the picture: 2. No electricity - only kerosene available from Ration Shop (public distribution system): 3. No good water sources - water from wells and ponds: 4. Only a nearby Primary School. Students were walking 8kms to nearest high school. Then comes the Pancahyet election, they said, "ELECT us!". The villagers asked, "What changes would happen if we ELECT you?" There came  the reply, "Your village would get water, electricity ( so can watch TV serials 😂 ), roads, school, pond, and many more, you will live a much more happier life...". The villag...

For sometime I wanted to write few lines about Bangalore water crisis. And what better day to write about, other than today, the #WorldWaterDay.  I have a long relationship  with the city. In 90's I lived in the city for 6 years when I was studying in Indian Institute of Science and then my first job here. I loved the city more than any other  Indian city, because of it's people, beauty, weather. Its weather was so good that, we used to call it "The Air Conditioned City", there were so many trees were here that  we used to call this "The Garden City". After living in the US for some years, when I decided to come back, there was only one city that came in my mind, it was Bangalore. Last  3 years I am living here. The city is totally changed in last decade or so. The population has gone up by almost 10 folds since 90's. Everywhere concrete jungle. No space  left for making new roads or plantation. Oh, sorry I am deviating from ...

Today, 20th March, the #WorldSparrowDay. From my childhood days they are one of my favorite BIRDS. In our village, we used to find them everywhere,  especially in the bamboo jungles, ...and the chirping of the sparrows in the mornings and evenings (closing my eyes, I can hear).  Unfortunately in the cities they are hard to find, because - 1. Low percentage of tree covers, and concrete jungle. 2. Difficult to find a natural drinking water source, specially in the summer time. As summer becoming hotter and hotter year by year, their population is decreasing with time. In fact this is true for any kind of BIRDS.  This summer if you can, put a bow of fresh water in your balcony /patio/terrace/backyard  for them to drink.  Who knows, you might find two POSE-ing for a cute photograph too ;-). Remembering the movie "Charachar" ("Shelter of the wings" - https://letterboxd.com/film/shelter-of-the-wings/ ) #RajitKapoor's acting... oh!  Belu...

Here are 8 tallest fountains in the world. Can we make ONE taller than these! Waiting... #WeLoveFountains 17/3/2018 Our ancestors used to conserve water through a simple meaning. Dig ponds and lakes around and collect rain water in the rainy season, use it whole year. Make the ground water level happy.  My grandfather used to say, "Pukur kato, santar kato". We completely forgot that! #100DaysOfWork 16/3/2018 Get well soon Irrfan-Da....

 তখন High School এ পড়ি ! প্রায় প্রতি বছর দিদির বাড়ি মদন্ডি যেতাম ষাট-পুজোর আকুরি নিয়ে। মদন্ডি গ্রাম টা ছিল দামোদর নদীর তীরে ঠিক একটা অদ্ভুত সুন্দর জায়গায়। কিলোমিটার খানেক এর মধ্যেই /Neheru Park/ , তার পাশেই বিশাল Pump House, একটু দূরেই ISP Airport. বেড়াতে গিয়ে কখন যে সময় কিভাবে কেটে যেত তার টের পেতাম না। তার ওপরে নদীর মাছ, নদীতে স্নান, নৌকা বাওয়া সব যেন গল্পের মতো মনে হতো. কয়েকজন মিলে সাঁতরে যেতাম নৌকো বাইব বলে। গুন্ টেনে নিয়ে যেতাম ৩/৪ শ মিটার, তারপর সবাইমিলে নৌকায় চড়ে বসতাম। গুন্ টেনে নিয়ে যাওয়ার সময় পুরো ব্যাপার টা শারীরিক ভাবে একটু কষ্ট-দায়ক হলেও নৌকা টা control এ থাকতো বেশ। আবার উল্টো দিকে চড়ে আনন্দ পেতাম ঠিক ই, অনেক তা roller-coaster এর মতো, কিন্তূ কোনো ভাবেই পুরোপুরি control থাকতো না নৌকা টা। মাঝি বলতো, "জোরে চললে বেশি বাইবে না, শুধু দিক ঠিক করে চালিও"। একবার উজান এ চললে কে কার কথা শোনে। নৌকা গিয়ে উঠতো আরো ৩/৪ শ মিটার পার হয়ে। Over and Above All - Flexibility is the Key to Control the Boat. After All - Fun, Flow and Happiness is the Key to be a SUCCESSFUL ONE ! ...

25/4/2017 Bhuta: How do you differentiate between ATMAN and DURATMAN? Adbhuta: The word DURATMAN has 3 more letters. Bhuta: That's all? Adbhuta: No, listen... one who always stays DURA, works from DURA, drives everything away DURA. Bhuta: That's all? Adbhuta: No, more to say... ATMAN stitches along every "fault-line" but DURATMAN divides along each and every "fault-line". Bhuta: How can you motivate one DURATMAN to become like ATMAN? Adbhuta: By Ignorance. 24/4/2017 Go ahead Africa, go Boom Boom Boom! http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/three-african-countries-chosen-to-test-first-malaria-vaccine/articleshow/58340471.cms 23/4/2017 Participation is not just go and stand in the line one day and DONE!

Let's talk about some organic coconut products. Coconut trees are amazing gift of God. The thought came up after reading this science paper - 1. /http://www.ijltet.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/42.pdf/   2. A coconut coir mat: 3. A "firm" mattress made of coconut threads. Ask a doctor in-suppose it helps in back pain. 4. Coconut coir as potting mix: 5. How about playing cricket on Coco-mat? (Before, do some /batting practice at home/ )  6. And health benefits of coconut oil, /khud-hee-dekh-lo/ :-). You can also use coconut oil for cooking, and many other purposes... 7. Now what can't be covered by the coconut coir, can be covered by   /Jute/   and /Cotton/ . #patliGaliForPlastics ?!?

They say, when you touch a cord, it makes a sound. They say, when you drop a ball, it bounces. But not every type of ball. Make a ball with bacha-kucha plastic bags like the one below, you try to bounce it even on the hardest surface, it will not bounce. Let say, you made such a ball of size, like No. 3 football (soccer ball). And you are playing during monsoon season, soaked in mud and water, 5kg weight and you are playing barefoot.  This is the story of my cowboy friend Kangla, short height, would hardly talk to anyone unless its really a needie needy one. Kangla was 11/12 years of age then. We used to hire him to play for our paDa team. Those days One-Day-Tournaments (now too) were very popular in rural parts of Bengal. There would be 16 teams from different villages complete in knockout play, 10min + 10min and final would be 15min + 15min.  It is more like a picnic day out and fun. Now imagine, during prize distribution 15 loosing team vs 1 winner ;...
