Hello
I kept thinking aout what I should be writing in my first blog and came to the conclusion that weather is the safest topic to start any conversation. So whether it is.
It was a very hot summer in Bhopal and a huge deficit of water. For people like us who can afford to buy water, it is not that a big problem but in the slums the plight of the women is the worst. It has been raining sporadically for the past one week and people are optimistic that the situtation will become good.
Remaining with weather, Mrs Clinton is on a visit and has talked about environmental issues. She wants India and China to cut down the emissions of the harmful gases but we are not very sure that what is America thinkig of cutting down its emission rates. For countries like ours where we have become economically strong in the past one decade, it is not practical to staraight away think of environment and pollution. If we just take the case of vehicles then we find that there are so many peoplewho have bought their first two wheeler or four wheeler and asking them to curb its use is a foolhardy. It has taken the US 50 years to realise the importance of environment, so we deserve atleast twenty years. I know that if people read this they will say that developing a nation does not give it the right to abuse the nature but as individuals we are all selfish an right now we want to flaunt our wealth and damn the envioronment.
Keep posting your comments
