There were 15,000 NGOs in
India in 1993 getting some 2000 cr Rs. Today there are 42,000 NGOs
getting some 1,35,000 crore rs!From 1993 to date NGOs have recieved some
Rs 1,50,000 Cr. If they had spent it on Solar power plants and street
lights , Indias environmental problems would have been solved. They did
not do that. instead these funds have been wasted on agitations against
Nuclear power plants and coal plants.
The citizens of Delhi and UP and so many states are sweating it out in
the 47 degree heat. how will the fans function if the NGOs make it their
buisness to see no nuclear or coal plants come up and they do not do
any thing for renewable energy( wind , solar , geo- thermal, etc) with
the money they get There is over 19,000 tons of Uranium in Shillong
hills. These people have not let us take out a gram.We are forced to
import the same from Australia. Environmentally its OK for Australia to
mine and sell us Coal and uranium but we can not do so here. Thats what i
call Hipocrasy.
Youth For Seva Initiative.Bowl Of Happiness
Yet another social initiative by Youth-For-Seva ( Seva Bharati) . It
was aimed to provide clean drinking water in urban areas to stray
animals & birds in hot summer.
Have you ever wondered how stray animals/birds live in cities with out drinking water with no water bodies(ponds) available in the concrete jungle ?
Inspired by YFS initiative I too have started taking care of birds by
feeding them grains and providing clean drinking water at my Home &
Office terrace.
It gives immense happiness when birds come in
flock and feast on grains . Just a glimpse of that entertains your mind
and soul. I had put one such bowl filled with grains in my office lawn.
I sprinkle grains on the floor so that more birds can eat . I do come
in between to see the birds, squirrels sharing the same bowl. Was
surprised at their Harmony. There's a lesson for Humans as how to share
and live harmoniously.
Interesting thing was birds presence
around the feeder has attracted other birds to come down. There were
few birds who seems to be Non-vegetarians avoiding grains from the bowl
but feeding on insects that hide in lawn grass. Since then I am
wondering if Veganism & Non-Vegetarianism exist among birds too ??
Guyz I tell you its great entertainment seeing sparrows taking dip in
water bowl to beat the summer heat , watching squirrels dancing
(jumping) around the feeder, listening to birds tweeting in your lawn.
This whole experience has made me think why go to places for bird
watching, with these feeders and Bowls of happiness we can invite the
birds to our place.
Thank You Youth-For-Seva (Seva Bharati) for showing me the way.
