Farmer's community are environment friendly

I have invariably found that those who knows how to produce, knows much better about consumption and disposal. Those who don't know it are very tentative about it. Take the case of farmer's community, they know much better about the harvest and then its consumption and disposal of waste. The percentage of material waste by any farmer community is the minimum. And also the recycling of waste is much more higher.

The wastage is highest among city dwellers because of obvious reason of not any connection and knowledge of grassroots about how things are produced.

Delhi to Goa: A 2,000 KM Odyssey in Two Days: Living the Journey

🚗 From Delhi to Goa: A 2,000 KM Odyssey in Two Days Date of Journey: May 11–12, 2025 (Sunday & Monday) Vehicle: Maruti Ritz (2010 Model) Total Distance Covered: ~1988 KM Total Toll Paid: ₹3138 States Crossed (7): Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Goa. 🛣️ Living the Journey The road trip from Delhi to Goa was my longest drive to date—nearly 1,000 kilometres per day, back-to-back. I have been passionate about long drives since my young days, when 300–400 km in a day used to feel like an achievement. With gradual improvements in road infrastructure, especially after 2005, driving 700–1000 km in a day became manageable. I have done the Patna–Delhi routes several times, each nearly 1,000 km, but this trip was different. Now over 60, and with a 15-year-old car, the challenge was both physical and mechanical. It took me a while to convince myself, but the traveller inside me gave the green light. 🔍 Planning and Preparation The ...

India's Suspension of the Indus Water Treaty (IWT): A Strategic Masterstroke for a wider Implications and Regional Ramifications

India had been contemplating the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty for several years. However, the recent ghastly attack in Pahalgam and the surge of public sentiment demanding action against Pakistan compelled India to unilaterally suspend the 65-year-old treaty, which had been mediated by the World Bank. Ideally, this step could have been taken back in the 1990s, but India, on humanitarian grounds, refrained from scrapping the agreement which is the lifeline of Pakistan agriculture. In recent years, however, China’s construction of massive reservoirs and hydropower projects on the Brahmaputra River—which may eventually reduce its downstream flow into India—has been a major factor prompting India to consider similar measures with Pakistan. Notably, the Indus River originates in Tibet (China), with India being the first downstream nation. The Indus water system comprises six rivers: the eastern rivers—Sutlej, Beas, and Ravi—were allocated entirely to India, while the western riv...

Kashmir : Between Silence and Survival

  A Valley of Voices: My Memoir from Kashmir With the recent ghastly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 27 lives, I found myself drawn back down memory lane—revisiting reflections from my journey through the Kashmir Valley. What follows is not analysis or opinion, but a deeply personal account of what I saw, heard, and felt. It’s an attempt to look beyond headlines and hashtags, and into the human stories that too often go unheard. Ten years ago, I travelled deep into the Kashmir Valley, from Baramulla to Anantnag, using local transport—trains, auto-rickshaws, shared taxis, minibuses, and motorcycles. Along the way, I interacted and mingled  with many people from all walks of life, including school and college students. At that time, even railway coaches/platform toilets were sealed to prevent their use by militants. I found that most people I met were simple and focused on their daily survival, working hard to meet basic needs. At the same time, I sensed a deep-rooted g...
