Go green India

We all hear about saving environment and global warming but hardly anyone of us does anything in this regard. We all think that we would need to leave our comforts behind to do something for the environment. But we all can do small-2 things to lessen the destruction and even help ourselves by saving costs and money.
Here are some things we can do:
At home:
A.C. – I don’t suggest switching them off during the scorching heat, but keeping them to normal temperature. Many of us shiver while A.C. is on but do not switch it off. Many A.C. these days come with automatic temperature control that can be used at night. It automatically increases the temperature at night to normal thus avoiding the chilling effect and use of blankets with A.C.
Use CFL – A 15 watt CFL uses 1/3rd the energy from normal tube light and incandescent bulb. It saves your electricity bill and lessens the impact on environment.
Switch off unnecessary lights: Switch off the lights that are unnecessary lit.
Use Solar energy – Though the initial costs are high, but they tend to be cheaper in the long run. Use solar water heater.
Use star rating electrical appliances: Star rating appliances consume less energy. More the stars, more is the savings.
Some things that are require some research:
Optical fibre lights: Use of optical fibres during the day time to direct the light from outside to the dark corners of the room. We all know that optical fibres are good conductor of light. We all have used those showpieces with white fibres, these are optical fibres. If we can use them optimally for directing outside light in adequate amount, they can become free of cost lightning source.
Energy efficient Gas Stoves: Find a way to transfer solar heat to Gas stoves just like we do in our power plants. This will reduce energy consumption by the stoves.

Home designs:
We can save a lot if we do some research in building designs and improve the architecture of our buildings and keep in mind certain things:
• Use of materials that reflect away light: such as some sorts of glass windows or discover paints to reflect away heat.
• Ensure proper airflow
• Natural light: Keep the provision for natural light so that one does not need to lit lights during the daytime. Use adequate windows or the dome.
• The rooftop: While fitting the tiles on the roof, try to use some insulator between the roof ground and tiles. These will reduce the impact of the heat. Mud with dried straws can also be used.
• Discover some insulators for wall also.
• Roof Garden: If possible a garden can be built on the roof; it also prevents the roof from heating up.

Outside:
• Switch off car on red lights.
• Try to use public transport and car pooling.
• Plant trees.
Some things on large scale:
Already people in other parts of the globe are working on this, but if we (Indians) can also do some research on these, it will help us a lot.
Find newer ways of producing electricity like
• Piezoelectric Floors: Piezoelectric materials produce electric current once they are pressed. We can produce electricity by using these circuits on the floor and our movement will press these floors and produce electricity.
• Windmill in the sky: A group pf researchers have made a helium filled balloon in the shape of rotor fitted with generators. It is used at a certain altitude as air flow is much more at an altitude.
• Search more areas where kinetic energy can be used to create electricity: Like machines in the Gym (I don’t know much about it, but it can be used to generate little amount of electricity of course.)

Human Marvels !!! - Any where in world only in 42mins 12 secs

Our earth is a marvel created by God. We humans are also his creation. Now His creation is creating more marvels and technology is going far beyond our imagination.
Have u ever imagined that we can reach anywhere on this earth in just 42 mins 12 secs and that too without the plane, sounds amazing and quite impossible !!! but may be some day we can and that too in a train. Yes, in a train..... without burning too much fuel.
Scientists have come up with a new thought - to dig tunnels through the center of the earth - a crazy idea indeed. Then the gravitational pull will drive us to our destination. But there are many hurdles to be solved before this type of train comes to reality.

Hats off to our engineers and researchers..

My dream - travel across the world !!

Our life (specially in India) is so much centered on the economic activities, or say studies, just to get good jobs, that we leave behind some of our dreams and fantasies. We donot do justice to them, We spend years studying to get thru the entrance exams or getting a degree, but taking a week out for luxury has become difficult. We are trapped, and need to be freed. Many musicians, artists, poets, singers "die" due to overlooking these talents. During my MBA, I met a person (Reimi) from France, he came to our campus on student's exchange. Their way of living a life is totally a different game. In a short span of 3 months that he stayed in India, he had travelled more that i had done in my 23 years. After reachin India and getting the legal dociments, he rushed to see Rajasthan, then to varanasi - a placed really liked by the French students, went to Goa, Nepal, Leh and now he plans to visit the Himachal base camp. And all that time we, the Indian students were thinking of our marks, attending lectures to avoid grade loss...
I also have one dream (apart from many other) - To TRAVEL ACROSS THE WORLD, I want to see, enjoy the beauty of nature, from high Himalayas to deep oceans. And if lucky to break free from the binding force of the earth. And i blame/thank Discovery channel for mine dream.

Some of the places I like to see:

Malaysia - The beauty of the Malaysian beaches have enchanted me from so long, its clear waters, amazing scenic beauty, the beaches - a paradise on earth. Spend time sitting on the beach with feet in water just like the one in figure on the side. Go their and enjoy in lap of nature.
Things i want to do:
Scooba diving - To explore the beauty beneath the surface of water. See the marine life, beautiful fishes and coral.









2) Grand Canyon - The beauty of rocks carved by the water is really a attraction. Now it also has 'Grand Canyon Sky Walk' - an amazing
of work that gives a nice view of the valley.

3) Niagra Falls - The massive volume of water flowing

through the falls provides an amazing view and going near the falls through the boat ride must be really exciting. Would love to visit the place.








4) Himalayas - My next destination is the Himalayas - to see the world from the top most point. But have no plans to trek to the peak of the mountains, may be a helicopter takes me to that place. In fact, i would love to trek to its base camp, i.e. somewhere at the height of 5000 mts. The idea of base camp came from Reimi, as i mentioned earlier.

5) The next destination is the space, go beyond the boundaries of Earth and enjoy the beauty of blue ball from the top. This destination, i know is very difficult to achieve, unless i hunt down a treasure or scientists find a cheap way to travel to space.
