back to college, IPL final , election , house warming
It's been two months since i last blogged .Well i decided to give blogging a holiday as i was on holiday too !! I spent my summer break sleeping a lot and catching up on the latest novels and flicks . But now i am back to college and things are slowly falling back into place .
It has been unusually hot in Bangalore , this summer and all of us are seriously looking forward to the monsoon !!
The IPL final is scheduled to happen today ... A clash between The Royal challengers of Bangalore and the deccan chargers .!! I have honestly not followed even a single ball of the second season of the IPL and i guess it's unfair to say i want the Deccan chargers winning when i don't even know who is on the team !!! height of disinterest in cricket ...
The big , fat Indian elections ended last Saturday and the allocation of portfolios is on . Key positions have gone to experienced people and I am happy to know that they didn't make the selection randomly . I think the congress was able to make it to the position of single largest party mainly because of Rahul Gandhi , A fresher in the game of election . although Mr Singh is an experienced , calm and skilled politician , i think he isn't a born leader . We need young , energetic faces to lead the country . let's see what they do to change the face of the country .
Also , we finished our much awaited house warming ceremony on 22nd may .Almost all of the people we had called and i was delighted to see old friends and relatives making it to the occasion . This kind of event gives us an opportunity to catch up and comes as a break in our hectic schedule !!
well that's it this time
bye

ban plastic.......

Hi ,
"One small step for man is a giant leap for mankind"-- that's probably the most quoted introduction for multitudinous speeches . The meaning of that statement is profound , at least for me , since on 9th February , I took my small step towards banning plastic bags .
I had put up a poster in a supermarket in Diamond District ( my residence ) , asking customers to avoid using plastic bags as much as they could . Not many people paid attention to it . But the shopkeeper , Mr .Gopal, gave my efforts a boost . He ordered for cloth bags which he proposes to use instead of plastic bags . He intends to give it to reliable customers for the time being and gradually induce the habit into all the customers . A very serious Mr Gopal said ' it's such a pity that people don't realize the gravity of the situation and still do things that are detrimental to the planet . at least let's do our part '. It's true that it's time we start changing our lifestyles to an Eco friendly manner . The simple yet important swaps we can make are use CFL's instead of Incandescent bulbs to reduce Carbon emissions , use cloth bags , switch off laptops etc when not in use , carry less weight in cars ( more weight= more fuel consumption)
GO GREEN ....
I was filled with euphoria and was jubilant that I had one more contribution towards saving our planet ( the first is that all the bulbs in our house were switched to CFL's ) . My inspiration , for this process is none other than Mr Al Gore . I, already a member of Greenpeace , plan to do more towards a greener tomorrow . So I hope that you will do your little part and help in making our already beautiful planet a still better place to be in .
So next time you head out to buy groceries , say a NO TO PLASTIC . Then watch how many will follow you !!!!!!!!!!
ALL THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!
