A group of people - 40 altogether - we went to see the movie “An Inconvinient Truth“.

I highly recommend it, regardless of the fact that Al Gore is in the main role - as a key note speaker on the issues of global warming.

I say “regardless” because some people may think the movie is biased just for one reason - that he’s the main character. In fact he is not. He’s just the person who tells us how important it is to save our planet from ourselves.

You will read plenty of information on the Internet about the movie, or about the global warming. I can recommend the official web site.

Donate This Year

While most people make new year resolutions of losing weight, quitting smoking, drinking or some or the other bad habit in order to become healthier. But i have made a resolution to donate more this year to institutions which take care of orphans, old people, handicapped or people who can't take care of themselves and need help. Donations can be made online, or there are home collections also. Several local organizations operate where you can donate or bear the cost of education, medication etc. Or you can donate in kind by donating used clothes, toys, medicines, grains etc.Only one thing to be taken care of that the institution to which you are donating should be legitimate. This site I found to be doing something of the sort. To donate now click here. If you are not donating now you can search for an institution near you and do so. Happy New Year!!

Even though fuel prices are gradually coming down yet saving some money on fuel is not a bad idea. I guess almost everyone has heard the term "Car Pooling" but i don't know how many of us follow it. A lot of people might say they don't know how to arrange people for the car pool. Well there are definitely people at your work place!! Or maybe you can take the initiative to organise a car pool club at your workplace. And if you don't like the people you work with( a very frequent occurence) you can click here. This is India's largest car pooling website. And is active in almost all cities. Tehy can find the most ideal car mates for you based on location on pick up and drop, timings etc.Well hope you implement the idea. And save some more.

CHILD LABOUR.

Everyday in the newspaper we read about the police raiding hotels,shops and rescuing children who are forced into child labour. Recently an article saying the above mentioned was published but the place raided was a circus were the children were made to perform. I ask are the children who are made to perform on TV in various reality shows not child laborers. The children in the circus were artists,performers and so are the one on TV.Even kids in the glam world are made to practice for long hours,go to school and take very little rest. Then why the discrimination?Why don't the police raid studios?

Do police men not need to follow rules??

Today while travelling from dadar towards worli i saw a police man on a pulsar bike, registration number MH __ ZA 2675, he wasn't wearing a helmet, the two dashes in the number are because i couldn't even read the print!! he was flouting atleast 3 trafic rules but no one to point it out to him!! i thought aren't they supposed to follow rules?? Policemen have the freedom to jump red lights in case of emergencies, but do they jump lights ONLY in case of emergency??
Well a question for the readers!! What to do when a policeman flouts rules??
