Solid Waste Management : Challenges and Solutions

Image
In a world where everything is attributed a monetary value, what remains to be seen through is ' Potential of Waste ' to turn into ' Wealth '. If we realise this potential then, Solid Waste Management ( SWM ) would no more be a taboo or something limited to being duty of a lower caste-class person.  However, to realise this, we need to understand; What Solid Waste Management (SWM) exactly is?  It refers to the process of collecting, transporting, treating, analysing and disposing off waste.  So, where's the problem? The problem lies in whole process ; • While door-door waste collection in India has increased from 40% (2016) to 95% (2020) but very less number of households and enterprises segregate this waste generated at source.  This whole solid waste can be categorised into following three broad kinds -: 1) Organic -: Fruits,Vegetables etc. 2) Dry -: Paper, wrappers etc. 3) Toxic -: Medicines, bulbs, batteries etc. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Af

End of Gabbatoir -: Victory for life and Cricket

  19.01.2021 , a normal day for people but cricket lovers like me, who woke up at sharp 5 A.m. in morning to watch India saving this match to level the Border-Gavaskar Series, but got under the bed soon after 8.2 overs as  Rohit Sharma (3rd most experienced player in the team) edged to world no. 1 test bowler Pat Cummins. It was a moment to just pray for India to not succumb to the pressure of Day 5 of this decider, to the pressure of trinity of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazelwood and Mitchell Starc with mighty Lyon. However, to get up again at 7 and sneaking through my phone to watch Shubman Gill marching fearlessly into his 60's with Pujara in his own natural mood to defend made again all plans for the day on side and just to watch what wasn't expected although dreamt of. This Indian team earlier in the previous match had shown the character but with Ashwin, Shami, Umesh, Bumrah out and Sundar, Natrajan, Shardul and Navdeep in was pretty much an underdog team against the mighty Aust

Retrospecting the Roller Coaster Ride: 2020

Image
  Finally, the year is about to end but hardly the challenges and uncertainties. Their existence prevails indefinitely. Retrospecting year 2020 might sound tedious and mundane to many of us but I must say, it has been an “extraordinary year” at an individual as well as global level. It’s a year we might want to wash off from our subconscious mind but lets’ prefer to retain the lessons it taught to this inhumane human civilization. Personally, like everyone else I also kicked off 2019 and welcomed 2020 with great excitement, vigor and enthusiasm. My bucket list was ready, New Year resolutions were all set, strategies were well framed and targets seemed not so far. The start was quite decent but suddenly some catastrophic element poked and the world was completely changed. “Bloodshed and Deaths” engrossed 2020. To begin with the capital city, engulfed in communal riots and violence followed by emergence of some deadly virus which forced the entire planet into complete lockdown. Gas l

Mental Health : A health and development issue

Image
  We can notice that how often we find ourselves and others saying " There's a lot of stress yaar". This word stress is not something which is treated but accepted as normal part of life, however it seriously can affect people in very abnormal ways. How often we hear stress is the right way to gauge how often we actually are facing mental health problems.  If we come up with a statistic then this issue of mental health might top the table of "most un-reported health issue". This owes to its complexity and stigmatisation. To have it in numbers, 1 in every 4 persons may suffer some mental health problems at some point of life, few even at some phases of their life. If you see it in historical perspective, why this mental health is a much lesser known and stigmatised issue, you might find that earlier people didn't talk of individual interests, they don't believed in any individual privacy, they were always ready to socialize but generationally and subseque

Covid-19-: एक भूत या बीमारी??

Image
 We all have heard some people saying "भूत वूत कुछ नहीं होता " but hearing people say "कोरोना पोरोना कुछ नहीं होता" is something that shall be regarded in my opinion as a violation of "Right to Fundamental Life" guaranteed to us by the Indian Constitution. The question arises why so?? Why to believe in corona porona?? Why to believe in something as simply described as sardi khaasi. The answer lies in the term " Pandemic" itself which was designated to Covid in march itself. The pandemic simply means worldwide spread of a disease. I hope only this one liner definition gives you some reason to believe that covid exists for real. If not this then, through my blog, may be I could convince you for that its real. I do believe that everyone of you must attach more importance to people's lives rather than political statements on masks, to nurses and doctors but not absurd theories on immunity. Many people,I know, reject of coronavirus as it has very

मां- बाप का अर्थ ?

    माना की मां- बाप भगवान होते है, पर फिर हमारी काबिलियत को औरो से क्यों नापते हैं? माना की मां - बाप हमें सबसे ज़्यादा प्यार करते हैं, पर फिर हमारे प्यार को ना समझने की गलती क्यों करते हैं? माना की मां - बाप हमारे सबसे बड़े समर्थन प्रणाली होते है, पर फिर किसी अनियोजित घटना के वक्त हम उनसे ही क्यों डरते है? माना की मां- बाप हर ऊच- नीच में साथ रहते है, पर फिर वो हमें हमारी बुराइयां गिनाते वक्त अच्छाईयां क्यों भूल जाते हैं? माना कि हर मां - बाप के लिए उसका बच्चा सर्वोच्च होता है, पर फिर अगर  वहीं बच्चा गलती से किसी लक्ष्य तक पहुंचने में असफल हो जाए तो  नालायक क्यों कहलाता है? माना की हर मां- बाप का सपना होता है अपने बच्चों को ऊचाईया छूते देखना, पर फिर भाई साहेब यह समझना क्यों कठिन होता है की ऊचाईयो तक पहुंचने में "वक्त" लगता है?  हर मां- बाप से मेरे कुछ सवाल है - भारत को आजाद हुए ७३ वर्ष हो चुके, समय का पहिया आगे बढ़ता जा रहा है, इसी के साथ विश्व भर में पतियोगिता का स्तर अलग ही ऊचाईया छू रहा है। लेकिन फिर भी, फिर भी आज आप के लिए बच्चे की आंखो में सफलता की पट्टी बांधना, मेहनत औ

Hathras-: A Rape by Society

Image
" Another Year; Another hour; Another rape - Hathras incident adds another shame! ”   Every event happens after some stipulated time period  but “Rape” is such a brutal act that happens every another hour, minute and second. This case of Hathras Gang rape is not only a case of rape but also an attempt to subjugate the so called low-caste people, not only to subjugate low caste people but also an attempt to destroy the evidence by forcing an unethical cremation of the victim at 2:30 A.M. without even the presence of family,  not only an attempt to destroy the evidence but also to violate freedom of expression and speech of victim's family by smashing Section 144 in the village and not allowing anyone to reach or approach the family. U.P. Police A.D.G doing best to make mockery out of his department now by making away all the claims of rape by quoting Forensic investigations, may be he doesn't realise that people might by now don't trust their police at all. This whole t
