Go Green - Why a bicycle is better than a motorcycle..



1. I can travel my full journey on the wrong-side.

2. I can put the U-turn wherever I want. Just lift the cycle and jump over the divider.
3. I don’t need to worry about the traffic lights.
4. I don’t give a damn about where the nearest petrol pump is.
5. The left side of the road including the pavement belongs to me. (For the right side, refer points 1 and 2).
6. I don’t have any speed limits.
7. I get a healthy work out.
8. In case of brake failure, I can use the accelerator-my feet as the brakes.
9. I can put scratches on any other vehicle at freewill and still not worried about scratches on mine.
10. I don’t need a license or a RC book or an insurance and save India from corruption by not bribing the Traffic police.

Protect it to protect yourselves..


In this span of very short interaction with this outside world, few things that are more prevalent everywhere and you can find it in everyone. The summation of these few things exceeds in magnitude the combination of air, water, fire, earth and sky. Imagine few things that are a part of each and every one of us overpowering the nature. Is this what, that is leading to the so called destruction of life? Before answering this question, let me introduce those few things to you again, although they being inherent in you - ego, anger, agony, self centeredness, stress, cruelty, hatred and et al. Long long ago, so long ago, this family (I dunno if they are homosexual or heterosexual, but by following the code of nature, let us consider them heterosexual), were very scarce in this world. They were nowhere to be seen, but for a few places. The air was fresh, the water was clean, the fire was pure, and the earth was soft and the sky crystal clear. That negative family was suppressed by the beautiful qualities that men /women possessed then which were a gift by the sacredness of the nature. But, as time passed by we, the greatest of all species, the humans ventured into the balance and disturbed it. The nature was in its own mood, but, the imbalanced caused it to retaliate. Just like what happens in most Rajnikanth movies, where he gets poked by the villains, disturbing his normal life style, finally making him retaliate and subdue the villains and emerge victorious. This is what precisely happened. The don of everything, the nature was bullied by man and it is taking revenge on us by bestowing the family of negative qualities, the humans ever knew. Scientifically speaking, when we caused a disturbance in their balance, it reflected on us as the symbiosis was affected. As an engineer you can describe it as, the heat balance, mass balance, blah, blah, blah... were out of place and led to the release of harmful chemicals as a by-product of the failure models of the blah, blah, blah... The harmful chemicals, be it whatever it may be, reacted with the carbon filled-best mechanical device ever to step in the universe to change the way they think. His thought process changed and that’s how the emotions which are a part of that family were ingrained into us. My point is, don't get exposed to pollution, although its inevitable. It alters the way you think and tends towards the negative side. All is said about protecting the nature, but, less is done. We don't need to protect, but, let us not disturb it atleast. A pole vaulter doesn't win unless s/he fails. Here, nature is the pole vaulter. To succeed, it won't mind to fail. If it fails, we are into the dumps and that’s the end of everything. Save environment!! Save Mother Earth!!
