Travel Shows

Currently telecast Travel Program 'Clive Myrie's Caribbean Adventure' by BBC WORLD TV Channel is different and more meaningful than those telecast by others. Charismatic presenter Clive takes us to places and people instead of just the dining table. I wish that in future, BBC telecasts such programs that feature people and places and not just eating and food. Today's program was shot in Barbados.

Solar Energy

Yesterday there was a TV News item according to which our Prime Minister Shree Narendra Modi encouraged farmers to reduce the use of fertilisers and opt for solar energy. Solar energy has been proven to be better than Nuclear Energy, Fossile Fuel etc. With harmful chemicals in fertilisers, his advice is obviously very meaningful. 

Last week I came to know that solar battery recycling in a town in Africa caused enormous pollution with consequent effect on the health of residents.

I think that innovative projects should be implemented with caution.

Evil Public Administration

A few minutes ago, as I was viewing a Malayaalam language movie of 1980s on TV, there was a tranformer blow out and power cut (which is a very frequent happening as I mentioned a few of my previous posts). 

As I mentioned previously, the rascal MLA of the area, politicians and incorrigibly evil employees in the Tamilnadu Electricity Board need to be dismissed from service and to be banned from service permanently.

Although there has been drastic changes in the State Political System in recent elections, unless problems such as frequent powercuts, unreasonable autofares etc. are fixed, it obviously means that whichever political parties will be involved in State Governance, they prove themselves to be inefficient. Consumer Organisations too need drastic changes with dismissal of current workers involved.

Oasis in the desert

My beloved sister's 13th day ceremony was held today at our Uttaraadi Mutt. I had booked for trips from residence to the Mutt and back via Ola Auto. Fares were Rs 350 and Rs 300 respecticely.  I think that the fares were reasonable. 

Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum🙏.

Turning waste into utility products

We are all well aware of how plastic bottles and metal cans are wasted and cause harm to the ecosystem in different ways. Social media is flooded with documentaries showing how individuals and NGOs work in turning waste into useful products. DW TV Channel telecast on such programme in today's episode of Eco Africa. 

In our country there are individuals and NGOs involved in this, but the number is small. There should be more people and NGOs involved.
