Open ur EyEs N Open ur MiNd

I was very happy that i escaped my very own chennai summer this year, i was happy, back to be in europe, the place i loved next to my country. 'oh comeon! summer here cant be that bad' i thought to myself. when july came, along came the european summer, oh god ! it was hot, lot more than expected, In the past 4 or 5 years lot more people died of heat exhaustion than anyother particular diease in europe. isn't that weird ? but its true, our world is warming up..

i immediatly remembered the movie ' day after tomorrow' where green house effect and GLOBAL WARMING brings more catastrophic effects to the world, its neither a hollywood fiction nor a myth anymore, its a happening fact. There is a clear consences by the scientific community that climate change is happening and is propelled by human activities. can u believe it..? the blame is on us.
ok.. what are the effects of climate change.? The scientists say that, sea level rises, it means increase in floods, less snow in winter, warmer temperature in summer, more winter rain, wild life are displaced, rare species disappear, coral reef vanish and the whole ECOSYSTEM is disturbed.
who should take responsibilty for all this.? is it the developed world.? you know, the most powerful nation in this world is the biggest polluter of our planet. the heavy industries, modern lifestyle, technical advancement are the main reason for it. But the developing world is catching up with the industrial deveopment, they are blaming the rich countries for the whole mess. sadly.. the whole world is at stake. The policies should change, the government and businesses carry the main resposibility to act.
What this whole thing would mean to us.? is this going to affect our life.? The answer is 'not obviously' but it will affect our world, our future , certainly our grand kids.
Have you ever thought that how our individual actions are linked to this whole issue..? and how it will make a difference.? The answer is simple, the whole idea is to reduce the carbon dioxide emission. The list of things we need to think about which will be affected by climate change is endless, It's not just policies and industries that need to be more climate-friendly, each individual has an impact on his or her environment. Choices that we make in our day-to-day lives can affect the climate.

Things you can do today at no cost:
Turn off lights when you leave a room
Only boil the amount of water you need in your kettle
Turn off televisions, videos, stereos and computers when they are not in use - they can use between 10 and 60% of the power they use when on
Don't leave fridge doors open for longer than necessary, let food cool down fully before putting in the fridge or freezer, defrost regularly and keep at the right temperature
Let your clothes dry naturally rather than using a tumble drier
Where possible don't stand cookers and fridges/freezers next to each other

Things you can do in the future or with an initial cost:
Use energy saving lightbulbs - they use a quarter of the electricity and last much longer
Fit solar panels or solar tiles to your roof

Transport
Don't use your car for short journeys - these are most polluting - walk or cycle
Use public transport as much as possible
Share car journeys with work colleagues or friends - up to a third of all car mileage is accounted for by the drive to work
Walk your children to school or share a run with their friends - up to 20% of rush hour traffic is due to children being driven to school
Choose a fuel-efficient / environmentally friendly car
Turn off your engine when waiting in your car
Make sure that your tyres are inflated correctly - this can save you 5% on the cost of your petrol
Take off your roof rack / remove heavy objects from the boot when not in use
Avoid accelerating (or braking) sharply as this uses fuel more quickly. Use lead-free petrol.

Water
Use the plug in your basin or sink - don't leave water running unnecessarily
Always wash a full load in your washing machine or in your dishwasher
Fix dripping taps and make sure that they are turned off fully - in one week a dripping tap can waste a bathful of water
Have a shower instead of a bath - an ordinary shower uses two-fifths of the water in a bath but power showers use 4 times as much water as a normal shower

Collect rainwater for watering plants
Water plants in the early evening - less water will evaporate
Water plants at their roots
Avoid using sprinklers - they can use up to 1000 litres of water an hour!
Select plants that don't need constant watering (ask at your garden centre for advice.)
Don't use a hose pipe to wash your car - use a bucket instead

Waste
Reuse as much as possible - envelopes, carrier bags…
Sell unwanted things or donate them to charity shops
Recycle as much as possible (glass, cans, paper, plastics…)
Use 'terry nappies' and a nappy washing service rather than disposable nappies
Rather than have your bank and credit card statements sent to you by post - see if you can check them online instead
Cut down on the number of brochures that you send off for.

Shopping
Make a shopping list so that you only buy what you need and are going to use
Buy recycled goods and goods with recycled packaging
Buy organic products ,Buy goods with minimal packaging
Don't buy disposable / throw away goods when it is possible to buy goods that are durable
Reuse shopping bags or take your own
Buy refillable products and refills where possible
Buy environmentally friendly cleaning and washing products
Buy in bulk if possible
Cut down on visits to shops by shopping more efficiently when you go
Buy recycled paper or wood from sustainable forests
Grow your own vegetables

The climate change demands a re-think not just the way we travel also the way we live. Do these things make sense to you. I hope it does, it may seem simple and it may seem easy, but believe me it is not. It is very hard to follow and very easy to become complacent, and you thinking that 'after all it is not going to affect us now, so why should we bother'. i am aware that we all have more important things to take care of and worry about and also understand how difficult to sacrifice our luxury for some future generation. This is not the time to be selfish, this is the time to share our responsibilty and make a difference.
It is not too late yet, lets do something.. lets SAVE OUR PLANET.

ALONE n LONELY..

HI THERE,
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY THOUGHTS .. HOW I FEEL ABOUT MYSELF.. I UNDERGO A DARK PERIOD OF MY LIFE.. WITH MY CAREER AND MY FUTURE..
THIS IS HOW I FEEL..



I walk along the road
not even a soul around
one would think, the whole town is dead
Run!!..Run!!..my heart shouts out loud

when i turn around, i saw someone follow
then i realise, its my scary little shadow
'What a jerk' i laughed at myself
it seems like a bad dream, but it's not

I never slept, to wake up
My life, my world is full of crap
pushed & pulled, stamped & kicked,
throwed & bruised,
My 'self' & 'belief' gone with the wind

Anguish and agony, no one to care
Fears and tears, nowhere to share
i see a lot of people suffer more
atleast, i'm not alone in there

Hey, these problems should make me stronger
Oh god! why the hell i feel more weaker
Did i woke up 'god' by screaming
Sorry fellas, let him be sleeping

Self confidence, belive in urself, hard work pays
some people always says..
please, let me think..
my skies are grey, stormy day, Me.. fallen as prey..

Alone i am, Alone in my thoughts
Alone i stand and fight
I struggle, i Explore, i hope
I will find my way out.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT UR THOTS
THANK U..BYE
