Good Morning Thought - 19th February 2015!

If you make it a habit to learn from all you come across, you become an ever evolving being...


Good Morning!

Met Cheryl Colopy, author of Dirty, Sacred Rivers...


Last year, when I read the review of the book 'Dirty, Sacred Rivers: Confronting South Asia's Water Crisis' in downtoearth, got tempted to buy that immediately. However, had problems with finances as my budget for books in that month was already overspent. Kept on listing the book in subsequent months but the purchase never materialized for this or the other reason. The wait ended during my Kathmandu trip and in a style. Got the book as a gift from none else than the author herself. I could not have aspired for any more actually. So happy...


Thanks Cheryl Colopy, for giving to us such a wonderful account of your encounter with the Ganges.

Shiva and the poison story - Happy Shivaratri Day Wishes!

Wish you all a Happy Maha Shivaratri!

Good Morning from Kathmandu - 10th February 2015!

The nexus of resources provided by environment creates a unique and marvelous governance structure that humans live in. A lot of its intricacies are beyond our understanding, but we have been doing everything to destroy this nexus only to script our own doom...

Sunday Morning Thought - 8th February 2015!

We live in a society where people get more irked by few drops of a bird's shit that may spoil their dresses or a parked vehicle, but are indifferent to birds being eliminated en masse by the toxic wastes they themselves generate...
