5 seconds for the Earth

I've noticed that a lot of people in Bangalore still don't segregate their waste. Please people, start already! Here's the deal, if you spend a few seconds extra to put your banana peels in a separate bin than your old worksheets or e-waste, you're helping to create a brilliant source of manure and helping to recycle and save a tremendous amount of energy! The sad thing is that most people know this . This is where the stuff we learn in E.V.E. is supposed to be applied! Always remember, that mixed, partially decomposed and possibly toxic waste is being dumped somewhere, even if you don't see it, and there are people suffering because of it. Remember how horrible the city was when they protested and put a stop to it? It's like that all the time there. So please, take some time from your life to help the earth. You won't regret it. :) Basic guidelines if you don't already know them: http://www.deccanherald.com/content/279046/bbmp-issues-guidelines-g...

A New Environment

It's never easy to make the decision to move away from what you’re used to and what you love. It was only the promise of something significant in return that made me do it.  So, swallowing all my doubts and misgivings and telling myself that friends didn't matter when I was supposed to immerse myself in my studies, I stepped into the new world.  Happily for me, the change was worth it. I realised that as long as you love what you’re doing (and I really do), you don’t really feel alone.  Secondly and more importantly, if the friends you’re leaving behind are real friends, their absence doesn't matter because they’re always there, affecting some small part of your life; and the infrequent meetings are all the more sweet and satisfying because of the separation. 

A...a...aa...aaaachoo!

"Then Lo and Behold!                                                                              I caught a bad cold  And sneezed the evening away."      This is a excerpt from my very first poem- something I wrote nearly a decade ago .     However, my perception of a cold hasn't changed very much in all these years. The sneezing, the blocked nose and the inability to speak without making a fool of yourself are still the dominating characteristics of a  bad cold ( of my colds, at least), but despite all that, I don't mind having one once in ...

Hello all!

I've wanted to create a blog for quite sometime now, and I've finally mustered the courage to do it! This post's main purpose is to tell you why I created it and consequently, what you can expect from it. My chosen stream is science, and although I love the subject, I am equally fond of literature and the social sciences. So I wanted a space where I did not have to restrict myself to one, as I am forced to do in most places. This blog will be an amalgamation of my thoughts on both, plus a dash of creative writing once in a while.
