Environment - Plastic

Plastic, the wonder material, finds its way in every home in one way or the other, and careless disposal of this thrash poses threat to the environment. It’s all the more harmful since it does not break down easily and is not degradable.

Did you know that a plastic cup takes 50-80 years to decompose? Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1 million sea creatures every year.

Ways to reduce your reliance upon packaging include:
-> Buy fresh food wherever possible
-> Choose items in containers that can be recycled
-> Bring your own reusable bag
-> Choose products that come in returnable containers such as glass milk bottles
-> Avoid processed foods and cook your own meals

Some of the alternatives we can go for : paper bags, reusable cotton bags, jute bags and Bio bags.

We can’t do away with plastic in totality, but careful use and disposal of it could reduce the threat it is posing to the environment.

Saga of Life

Childhood days were golden days. I passed on happily in warmth under its shadow, without knowing its vitality. Dependence,Surrender are the footsteps of a child. On its birth, being dependent on its Mother for almost everything, surrenders itself, ofcourse without knowing or experiencing the vitality of the state in which it is. Slowly the share of dependency gets distributed to Father and then to all other whom it gets contacted with. For its Physical and Psycholigical needs it returns back to its Parents following heart advice.

As it grows up and enters its adulhood, ego induces the concept of independency, to make choice on its own, to lead life as per its desires, thereby denying the chosen-path of the soul to complete it's task for which it descended. I feel, Choice is the worst thing, a human can encounter with. Slowly its share of dependency expands as per its contacts to the external world. Sources of Dependency outweighs Percentage of Dependency on each Source . This fact makes him/her to develop a false impression that it is independent, though in real, its the other way around.

Life experiences makes him/her to realizes the truth and find himself/herself fed up with partial-dependency on each source. This leads to search someone with whom it depends upon wholly. A fortunate few, finds solace in his/her HEART, the seat of DIVINITY.

I feel this is the saga of life. It starts with surrender to Mother. Under the veil of maya, gets misguided by ego to become independent. But atlast, in the process of being independent he/she find himself/herself in state of partial-dependency with many resources. A fortunate few, surrenders to the ultimate in his/her heart, for complete depedency, as a whole. Thus he/she attains the contact with his/her heart, which was lost, only with Surrender.
