So tweet the Earth
'ek chidiya, anek chidiyaN; dana chugne baith gayee thi .....' The song conjures up childhood imagery, memories of an entire generation that was still lucky to learn the lessons of life from Mother Nature. For all others who couldn't strike a chord yet, 'ek chidiya, anek chidiyaN' translates to 'a lovely bird and many such lovely birds....'. Those are the opening lines of a beautifully animated song that encouraged harmony and unity in diversity, the mottos that best describe India, through a delightful cameo from Nature.
Most of us used to take delight in watching birds paying us a visit in our very own habitats during our childhood, when todays cities were still attractive enough for nature to cast its beautiful spell with changing seasons, colors, flowers and more. However, all such pleasures of nature are strangers to our cities now. Its something that we have done ourselves, still doing, depriving our younger generations of all such pleasure.
The greater irony is, we seek solace in the virtual worlds. Our bird song comes from MP3s, our greenery in screensavers. And tweet on the web mimicking nature. As we use these products, as we live a synthetic life, we need to think, rethink how our life is affecting our world, our Nature. As creative people, its time we thought about how our creations, the products and services we create and we use impact our world.

One can find LPG cylinders in almost every kitchen in India. The problem with them is that not everybody knows the way of putting the regulator over the nozzle of the cylinder to make it work. The prime users of these cylinders, the women folk have trouble in establishing a way to manipulate the regulator knob. They have to ask the help of others to put the regulator on the cylinder and on it properly. I think it is a problem which can seriously hamper the safety of a household.

If you are into "notorious" cars, this might be the pick of the auction. The Aztek is synonymous now with bad design.
