Lets learn our lessons from the garden
Walk into the garden of dreams of love, compassion, hope, and glee look at the flowers bloom on weathered earth spreading their pleasant aroma everywhere around enormous trees trying to touch the sky their roots digging below for the meaning of life squirrels and rabbits run curiously around quite restless even in their cozy little burrows route the little birds soaring over the sky free enough to look at the world from the top listen to the humming bees rambling happily wearing an immense amount of confidence observe the calmness of the frogs the patience they exhibit while preying smile at...
The Tongue
I am appalled and don’t ask me why Why I feel for the girl that was raped, mutilated, murdered and then her body destroyed like some unwanted object Why I feel for safety and security of every girl in the country, every day, everyplace at all hours of day Why am I affected by the news of some random girl being tortured in a far away remote village, while enjoying my privileged life in big city How do I feel the pain that she and numerous other women go through in their life for the sole reason that they were born that way Why do I feel my tongue is cut and spine broken, body mutilated when in...
Morning tales of winter
The morning Sun stood aloft, Waving it's dew-bespangled wings; With vermile cheek and whisper soft, Wooing the tardy winter morn'.
Time to quit hatred
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." — Martin Luther King, Jr. MLK Jr said this decades ago. But still today, in this 21st century, hatred is prevalent in our society. A large number of people are directly engaged to spread hatred. And the rest of us, who are completely against this hate campaign, are in oblivion. We don't know what to do, how to confront this monstrous, abhorrent campaign. Recently, on 14th February, 2019, Jaish-e-Mohammed, a militant group attacked a convoy of CRPF personnel in Jammu and Kashmir...
Green Earth
I’ll explain the picture in a story. During the COVID-19 pandemic Little red riding hood was walking to her grandmothers house with a mask on her face. Suddenly she felt someone carry her away. She thought that it might be the wolf and took out the Gun which the hunter had gifted her. She turned around and looked but she didn’t see anyone around. Suddenly she heard a voice. It said “Don’t fear my child. It is me, your creator. I am God. I have chosen you to choose how life has to be after the COVID-19 pandemic it is your choice CHOOSE WISELY.......”and fade away leaving a path which further...
Can Climate Change Disputes Be Resolved Through Mediation?
UN-Secretary General, Antonio Guterres feels "Humanity is 'Waging War' on Nature" regarding current climate and environmental trends. According to the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs (DPPA), climate change does not directly give rise to a conflict but has a major impact in the escalation of a conflict. The United Nations Guidance for Effective Mediation describes mediation as a voluntary process “whereby a third party assists two or more parties, with their consent, to prevent, manage or resolve a conflict by helping them to develop mutually acceptable agreements”. There...
Small level awareness can bring big changes.
“The Ladakh region is a natural carbon sink and making it carbon neutral paves the way for many other regions in India to embark on this carbon neutrality journey. It will be now interesting to see how this announcement is operationalized and replicated in other parts of the country. It will also be intriguing to see how large businesses will respond to this call”: Narendra Damodardas Modi (Honorable Prime Minister of India). Even though there is no well-settled goal of becoming a carbon-neutral country in India but Ladakh is becoming one of the cleanest regions in South Asia with a carbon...
Climate change and Us
Out of the many issues that concern the earth today, I strongly believe in Climate change. Being a part of the generation Z and growing up with headlines stating “December 2012 is going to be the end of mankind”, “Melting glaciers end up in floods killing 100+ people” and “Summery Texas covered in snow”, I undoubtedly fear for my future because I personally don’t know if at all, I am actually going to have a future or not. I believe that the first reason for climate change is negligence. We don’t realise that our simple acts can make a difference, even if its connection with climate isn’t...
The New Normal and Nature
Nature's beauty is a word we have often heard, and we even glance at its beauty. But, do we know its true significance? The answer is NO. There is a lot yet to be known about nature's envision and its creativity. Even if we know a few things, we don't really take them seriously. We take it for granted. Reports say that human activities are a major cause of habitat loss. Nature is our mother. We do such cruel things to her, yet she gives us all needful. Today though we are in lockdown, or we don't go outside that much as before, the trees, the flowers, the rivers, fresh lakes, mountains...
Save Trees 🌳, Save Environment, Save Life
If you cut a tree 🌳, you kill a life If you save a tree you save a life. Trees make the environment cleaner and provide us with oxygen. In this painting I have shown that we need to start living sustainable life, decrease pollution, stop cutting trees, use 3R's and need to use sustainable technology to save our environment and our life's. We should say no to single use plastic, save water, save energy, plant more trees, and have to promote sustainable technology to have a Save Future.
I reimagine a Greener and Sustainable World
Save Animals Save Forest Plant more trees 🌱 Use 3 R's ♻️ Reduce Footprint Use Green Energy 💚 Promote Sustainable Technology Follow sustainable ways of living Save Environment Save Our Planet 🌍 Save Life and our Future "I reimagine a Greener and Sustainable World where their is less disasters, where we would grow sustainability without harming the environment and where every species on this earth can live Happily and Peacefully"
Please don't kill our future.
It's raining in summer, hot sun in the middle of monsoon. Why? Why is all this happening? Don't blame the nature, we humans did this to them.I am putting up this on the world environment day, when i'm not sure if there is a proper environment. I am an Indian and in India the temperature is rising every year. Every year it's breaking the records. If it was 30°C last year it's 33°C this year. The climate is changing, its being unpredictable. It was all predictable and safe when the exploiting monsters were calm. Industries, vehicles, burning fossils everything done for present is destroying the...
An Open Letter To My Generation
I am a manifestation of my dreams A ring of fire The condensation on a cold winter morning I am, my desires and hopes And secrets and epiphanies I am so much of myself, And today I wonder and I question And I share it with you I see climate change happening I see its repercussions in real-time And I wonder how long we can afford to be ignorant Till it's looking at us in the face And we can't blink without feeling its presence We need a change And we need it now Here's what I decided to do And I invite you on this with me Switch to sustainable alternatives for menstrual hygiene Sanitary napkins...
My poems are not guilty
On paper, The latitude of this poem sits in rough notebooks and geography chapters, Slipping into cold minds, Struggling to make a move, on world map. In practice, The world is now a shade card of red, And in no time, it will be brown, Or maybe white Where we all will be on the verge to be numb like extinct species, Waiting for a shift, a life generating one, “What goes around comes around" whispers in morse code another poem on a significant day, To slip into our minds, But I fear what if they slip like glaciers? Because, we chop the eco friendly quotes the very next day while throwing...
I heard mother Earth crying.
I heard mother Earth crying. She was saying, "Please save me from this calamity. Humans are destroying me, killing me and ruining me. They don't know I can feel pain too; I have feelings too and I feel everything just like you! Humans are selfish, they build factories on my body! They kill animals, just for the sake of their taste buds! They keep polluting my whole body, by poisonous gases! They don't know what I can do, I can kill them all in a matter of two! But the time's not gone, they can still save me, by going eco-friendly!
We Are Closing In On Deadlines, Let's Take Action On Climate Change Now
A plant in my windowsill having taken me through the winters started wilting around a month back. And like the hopeless optimistic I am, I continued watering it, perhaps even more religiously know. Guilt can do strange things to you. It started wilting from the top and today with more than half of it shriveled, I knew it was a fool’s errand to continue building hope for its magical revival. So I decided to take the plant out of the pot, to plant a new one in it in the future. And as the plant came out of the pot, along with it, came the entire soil in the pot too! That’s how strongly the roots...
ANIMALS - a poem
They sit in a row yet we think of them as low, We disobey the line but think they are undisciplined in mind, Shouldn't we give them a bow For how they are kind. Gazing them graze green grass makes me feel enliven, As I think of, caring for them will pay back, As of now all crazy I am driven, By how we treat them, in fact. All I am mesmerized by the beauty they hold, Can only say it loud that they deserve much more, Shouldn't we mould - ourselves, for it's shouting "enough" from core. I see them below the sapphire, not between the iron, Still there is a fire, to see in the wild a lion.
Climate Change - A Call to Action
A man made disaster of global scale, And with it, it's huge implications prevail Our greatest threat in thousands of years, Waiting on the horizon for us. A marginal rise in sea levels and millions displaced; Is it just the environment, or is it also you who is at stake? Us and our environment aren't two. How can you be oblivious to the destruction of me and you? The challenge before us - is bigger than any of us, But it requires - every single one of us. We don't have long before civilizations extinct Millions are already affected and billions are at risk. Can you sense a need of urgency...
Maybe This Is World
Flowers bloom only when the sky cries, Rainbows are colorful only when the sun shines bright, There might be an earthquake deep below the ocean but from above we only see the waves giant, Fire only burns when there is a candle to hold it upright, Angels are possible only when the humans are kind, not when the demon's still in mind, Stars dazzle only when the night sky is dark. Maybe this is world, where miracles happen only when the disasters embark.
