Breathless Delhi - Red Alert!!!

Every year, the season of winter creates choking and bottleneck situation for the dwellers of Delhi-NCR. 

 The flavor of winter finally turns out to be curse for all ages of life (children, youth and old). 
Are we not aware of the situation? Do we definitely care? 
Air pollution, SMOG, Delhi, choking, breathless need of the hour

 We acclimatize ourselves to the alarming situation, but to remind, also get trapped in the blanket of toxic particulate matter. The most infected ones include the babies, school going children and the elderly people.

Some Interesting Facts:-

Delhi and Beijing were once tough competitors for the infamous rank of world’s most polluted city but slowly things changed. Delhi kept on rising whereas Beijing managed to tackle the situation with a complete strategy. The action plan included identification of most polluted regions and setting time bound reduction targets. Major steps included:-
  • Reduction in coal consumption by imposing penalties
  • Strict norms for industrial pollution
  • Greenary schemes
  • Restriction on launch of new vehicles (fuel efficient)
Apart from these, large scale smog vacuum cleaners were also installed in pivotal locations that purified the air at nano level and released clean air to the nearby parks & playgrounds.

 What Delhi needs today?
  • Regional coordination for Delhi-NCR and neighboring states like Haryana, Punjab and UP.
  • Target based schemes
  • Large scale plantation programmed at each level
  • Strict penalties on massive crop burning, industrial release
  • Restriction on usage of private vehicles during peak season promoting car pooling and public transport.
Rather than adding fuel to turn the topic to some hot trending debate item for the media, we as individuals can take small initiatives before the onset of Winter to eradicate the impact. Because if not today, than NEVER!!!

Let us know your views and thoughts.!!!

The episodes of celebration are blended with ethnic attires, mixed cuisines, hangouts and garnished with cultural nights.      I

OLD AGE - The Epilogue of life

Image
This article is an attempt to hold a mirror to the young energetic class of the society who are carried away by the materialistic lifestyle and fantasies giving a setback to the main pillar behind their ability to spread wings & fly high. Yes, we take a chance to jot down atleast the feelings of the aged people who once were similar to us and tried the best they could afford to nurture us. Old Age- a duration of the entire life span when the body & mind slowly retires from its task and seek for love and care from children. It is also the hard time when the physical sufferings initiate along with the sense of loneliness and depression. They bless their children to flourish in every sphere of life but also hold an internal desire of affection. We, the children, selfish at times find it tough to accept that we are also on the same track and soon reach that stage of life someday or the other. Every single day, the media flashes the news of parents being dumped to old

Despite the difference in languages and practices, the thread of unity is strengthened by the sense of brotherhood and respect. The flavor of respect is more revealed by crowning of Women as an integral and vital part of the society. In 21 st century, when the nation has achieved zenith’s height of success in every challenging sphere, the spine (woman) of the system has left no stone unturned to stand at par with the masculine gender. But Alas!!! the attitude towards the female figure in the society has shown a descending graph with rigorous loss in ethical and moral values.
