    It is more than four months since the government started the demonetization process on 08th November 2016. The process had the […]

    • Indeed, Demonetization, inspite of some of the drawbacks in the way it was implemented has been successful in making more people into cashless economy. Many people, especially older ones used debit cards for the first time.
      I have used one of the Mobile Wallets to pay to local vegetable groceries, Autowallahs, book stationers etc, and the best advantage of being cashless is that one does not have to worry about change of Rs.1, 5, 10 etc.
      Moreover, one can directly get amount transfered to their bank accounts. RBI has to print lesser notes thus checking inflation, and Government’s debt too reduces.
      Still, a lot of people have switched back to cash for smaller transactions, and this has to be somehow addressed.
      But this is not bad as such, because even in Western countries, especially UK, US etc, smaller transcations are in cash.
      Yet, it is good if larger transactions are done electronically to check misuse of funds, especially in Government sponsored schemes, Defence and Infrastructure payments, as you have mentioned.
      Black money too gets reduced.

      Overall, a big plus for India, but Government needs to be vigilant, because those used to big amounts of black money will try to defame Government and mislead people in different ways.

    Agree with what you told about cooking of food and warming in microwave at the plastic also goes into the food and the same is consumed by the family in the house where such a thing is done. This is very risky as it has contents like lead, mercury, zinc, tar etc. Many of the plastics are usually recycled and sold and one must be careful…[Read more]

    Agree with you about the concept of a hard days work as the energy spent working by the person will make him tired and burn all the fat and energy which has been consumed by the person.

    Being near computers more tends to disturb our sleep pattern too. There is also the problem of radiation from the computers and UPS or such other devices which we use.

    True having coffee and other such drinks which contain caffeine affect the sleep in the night. It actually activates the brain thus doing the reverse of what should happen when one goes to sleep. It is better to have a small glass of warm milk or horlicks or something similar. As that tends to induce sleep well in an individual.…[Read more]

    Krishna Kumar wrote a new post, Water The Source Of Life On Earth 7 years, 8 months ago

     

    Credit Pinterest.com for the share

    We have come across many scenes where we find in different parts of the world there is acute shortage of water despite there being heavy rainfall during the rainy season. […]

    • As time goes on, more and more people are using a lot of water and the resources becoming scarce. There should be remedies to the shortage or impending shortage of potable water. One is planting of trees, but in some areas, there are no more vacant lots to plant on, mostly were cemented. So the government should enforce tree planting in available areas and prevent illegal cutting of trees.

      Water management should be efficient, and people should abide by the laws on water usage. It is best if they will recycle water.

      • Agree with your suggestions to tide over this problem faced in most cities in different parts of the world. What I find is the people are careless with their attitude. They all would like to complain about the governments and how they are not being provided water by the concerned authorities. But could not care less about their responsibilities as a citizen.

        Government bodies too are lethargic in whatever they do and these people also come from the same society. The only thing is once they get elected the responsibility for which they have come has to be fulfilled which very few are able to do so. Majority of these members are the ones who do not care about the issue that is the sad part. Thank for the inputs.

    • Here in the city where we live, people buys the water they drink. That’s because they want to make sure that the water they drink are safe and clean.

      They have water on their faucets but they aren’t sure if they are potable. Maybe we can but we have to boil them first before we drink them and that’s tedious.

      And that is the situation in the city where I work and also in the next town where we live.

      But not in the hometown where my parents live. There, you can get water straight from the faucet and drink without getting sick. It is safe to drink and clean. It is also so forceful. They can open two faucets at the same time at the sink yet they both have lots of forceful water.

      That’s because the source of their water is from a spring that is being gathered in a cemented big container with a lid. This is always regularly cleaned and checked as to its cleanliness.

      As to trees, our hometown have lots of them compared to the cities which like you said because of urbanization the trees were all nowhere to be found already. Although, it’s a good thing now, that the mayor have already implemented the cleaning of the ditches so flood now is just in one place or two but not in the city proper anymore.

      • Even at our place here we are having to purchase water since the last year. As the water board releases drinking water every five to seven days. So we had to store it and use it carefully, but since some new pipeline works are taking place they have stopped supply and it comes once every 7 days. Hence we are forced to purchase water from outside.

        Regarding the need for water for other purposes like washing, cleaning etc. We have a well since the past 35 years and we draw water from the same. Ours is the only house in the colony which has a well all others have borewell which is a technology which is being misused and abused by many. They dig borewells beyond the prescribed limit. While our house has a garden and water drains directly to the ground when it rains. With others it is not so as they have cemented the surface. Their logic is it is clean and looks neat and they do not have to maintain it as in the case of the garden which we have. Thanks for the information you shared.

    • Thanks for the feedback. Last year in the summer months it was a very bad situation in our country in many of the states. They had to start water trains to supply water to the places where there was sever water shortage. These people also had to subsist on one pot of water for one to two weeks in many places. It was so bad that at some of the places people started fighting for water. It was a desperate situation.

      Governments do not seem to want to act against the people who are the trouble makers as they have to go to them every five years to seek votes and win elections. That is the reason they allow these problem to happen and sit and watch as the situation unfolds. In the end they panic when people get angry and do some patch up work to see that that particular year is done with. Then everything is forgotton conveniently till problem crops up the next year again.

    • water water is all what people need to start a life, its like magic and some people do not appreciate it, really uo feel bad when you see that, its like treature, wel all need to take care good about not to finish.
      it is enough to say that more htan half weight the human is water, be careful with using it all of you

    • here in my country there is a problem with water. In all honesty i believe now they have somewhat gotten control of its usage. in the past communities would have been without water for months sometimes years. In my house in the past we went through the period where there would have been periodic lock offs of water. we had to juggle our work, school and collecting and storing water for our usage. it was really a stressful time for us as there were moments when we had to rush home so we could collect water before it was shut off. thank God we managed and pulled through without any major health issues.

      recently in late november last year the second city receive 4 months of rainfall in one day according to the experts. the pictures and videos of the catastrophe was disheartening. today they are still cleaning up that area.

      • Thanks for participating in this debate. Happy to note that you could tide over the water crisis. In 2018 I have been observing the weather pattern it has become highly unpredictable and huge amount of financial loss has occurred all over the world some places have been flooded while others have heavy snow and some others have no water. Human lifestyle is responsible for this situation. Best wishes and regards.
