Exploring The New Horizons

  A boat at the bank of a river I can still remember my childhood days when I was afraid of water because I didn't know how to swim.  The fear of water was so much deep into my mind that I often observed myself drowning in water in a horrible nightmare. I have always wanted to learn to swim so that I could get rid of this hydrophobia. Even there are instances when this panic grew more in mind. For example, I remember traveling on a ferry in the holy river Ganga to go to a pilgrimage site with my parents in my childhood days. Once, there was a time when we could not see a sign of land even to the horizon range. And we were surrounded by water from all directions. I was terrified of this view and wanted to reach any bank of the river immediately. Anyway, we reached our destination safely and enjoyed the holiday a lot. Again, there are very similar instances, when my parents went on some beach to enjoy holidays but I always used to avoid going deep into the waves because of the fear o

Me doing Work from home and simultaneously enjoying the nature. Now a days, we are working on generally two modes. Either our official or academic work are in WFH (work from home) mode or WFO (work from office) mode. When Covid-19 started spreading last year in January 2020 and all the restrictions were implemented by the government. Suddenly, all the offices started shutting down. Then, whole economy came on WFH platform. At the beginning, everyone faced little difficulty but then WFH became a better option for work. Now a days, when the restrictions is being lifted up and we are going to the normal condition with decreasing spread of Covid disease, again the working culture is returning back in offline mode i.e. WFO mode. Today many of the people are reluctant to return on WFO mode because of various reasons. In contrast, many people are happy with backing WFO mode. Still schools, colleges are working with 50 percent capability with both WFH and WFO options. So at present, we are in

 In my resident, I always used to see a distant hill from my rooftop. During childhood days I have trekked the hill once or twice during the new year celebrations. But now approximately 20-22 years have been passed and I never visited the place. Well there was various reasons behind it. A new park was build at some distant from the hill and the tourist attractions for the hill decayed over time. Now people used to go the park and enjoy whole day instead of facing spiny tress, foxes and other reptiles of the hill. Years passed by and we brought up. School life ended and collage life continued but still back of the mind, I always wished to again and trek to the top and hill, like I used to do during my childhood days. But the busy schedule never given me casual leave for this purpose.   But one day, I noticed something strange from the distant hill. Some musical notes of Lord shiva bhajan was coming form the distant hill side, but I thought that may the bhajan is coming from any temple w

  Video link In a documentary by UNEP (link given above) reveals the relation between how deforestation is related to disease which is related to zoonotic animals such as bats, rats etc. With drastic increasing the supply and demand chain, industries are putting themselves too far in grabbing more and more lands to built industries. This results in an adverse impact on the forest lands, which is vanishing day by day. With increasing deforestations the zoonotic animals are coming closer to the human environments, which is effecting the heath of humans and domestic animas such as cats and dogs. The growing zoonotic disease such as Ebola, Covid 19 are becoming common. Such encounter of parasites with humans is expected to increase in future if the process of sustainable development is not employed by industrial units. As a consumer, it is also duty of every person to maximum rely on local markets for fulfilling their daily needs. It will decrease the gap of supply and demand which will br

Video link   In a video blog of DW hindi (video link given above), describes a village in Indonesia where people rely are using rain water harvesting to fulfill their daily needs of water. With increasing demand and privatization of water industry in Indonesia, one priest came with an excellent solution to solve the water crises. He promotes the concept of rain water storing whole year and refine this water through the process of electrolysis. The principle of electrolysis is basically based on passing of currents between the two electrodes dipped into the water. This process kills the germs present is the rain water and make it fit for drinking purpose. For more information click on the above video link.    

  Video link In a video(link given at the top) published in world economic forum highlights how Natural regeneration could be an effective idea to restore the forest cover. It is based upon the principle of leave the nature in its own condition so that it grows naturally and heals by itself. I does not means taking no action but instead highlights on planting more native trees in the forests.These should be no human interference in the forest cover for building made made structures. It will promote the growth of ecology and biodiversity of the nature. Again, by following this approach it is expected that it will observe 10% of annual carbon dioxide emission of  UK and quarter of  green house gas worldwide.
