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.

A frequent mode of transport for people. Easy and cheap for travelling shorter distances.
However it faces some serious design issues.
a. Because of the height of the footboard, I often see ladies and old fraternity having difficulty climbing the rickshaw. If the height is lowered like the concept used in Low Floor CNG buses it will be improved a lot. Road clearance can be taken into consideration and thus height can be reduced considerably.

This is from a personal experience. I ordered a large comfort cup of Chocó latté. But when I picked it up from the handle attached to the mug, my fingers felt a great strain. Since the cup was full I had to keep the cup down after a while. It was not a good user experience since it was discomforting n painful.Also if one tried to support the cup from other hand there is no appropriate provision. The contents are super hot n you cannot support the cup either from bottom or rim of the cup.
