Back to Basics?

Well, when I was in school (viz.. CFTRI, Teresian, Mariz) my teachers taught me in almost every class that the best way to prevent soil erosion is to grow GRASS....

The government and the governors of our local bodies, probably need to re-visit the schools to learn this. I see almost every road asphalted and in places of footpath's they leave the soil exposed! This is no way to build a city. At least they can have some common sense to grow grass on these exposed areas uniformly. This will not only reduce erosion but also beautify the city!

Another thing, I learnt in each of my social sciences classes is that we need to prevent air pollution. Its Diwali today! Though the quantum of crackers burst have reduced, I still fear we are contributing a lot to sound and air pollution! We need to stop this. Hundreds of four legged beasts survive these four days of Diwali with utmost fear. Wake up people! Protect your environment! Its high time!

I vote for a green, clean and safe diwali! I hope you too do!
