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...

  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 Aus...

  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...

 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 ...

" 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...
