@Mr.Human – A hilarious poem on Twitter!
Just a couple of days ago, I wrote about the effects of going cyber at a young age – ‘coz I stumbled upon a twitter user who’s just 9-years old. I was having a casual conversation with my good friend, Narendra Pai, about writing a humorous poem on twitter and the trending topics. Voilà, Narendra [...]
The green prophecy
A poignant and powerful poem by K Narendra Pai The day shall come, when breathing will be few, The task will be tough, of making a salad green, The day shall come, not from any blue; Soon we shall fly high but birds will be unseen. Trees will shine gorgeous; fancy the plastic luster! Meet [...]

If only these terrorists could get a better meaning of what ‘LIFE’ means, by getting a bit closer to mother nature, more than 60% of the sufferings in this world would come

Go green – Electrify the dance floor!
Previously, I’ve written a couple of articles on going green, and how the environmentalists and industrialists worldwide are going crazy about inventing new techniques to contain global warming.
Now, it looks like going Green has been catching up with night clubs all over the world, where they can generate quite a lot of power from those electrifying teenage/middle-aged dancers thumping their feet, consciously or unconsciously, on the dance floor. This is what I call cool technology! The technology behind this may sound very simple, yet it appears to be powerful enough to generate about 60% (not sure if it is theoretical or practical) of the night club’s electricity.
Carbon capture and storage – Is the future green-hot for coal?
It is a universal truth that burning of coal is one of the major causes of global warming, acid rain and other toxins in the air. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, about 3,700,000 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) is released into the atmosphere – by a typical coal plant in an year. It may sound oxymoronic if one talks about using coal and going green. Well, why not? Carbon Capture and Storage, or CCS in short, seems to be the technological answer to this oxymoron!? The US 2008 elections are red hot right now, and many who’ve voted for Obama or McCain are keeping their fingers crossed.
Themed pic of the day – Travel, environment
No sooner I entered this place than I felt eternal bliss – relieving me from the heat, dust and noise pollution of Chennai. The Azhiyar reservoir is serenely calm, beautiful, well-maintained and very clean. I was amazed to see people suddenly becoming conscious about ‘not to litter’ around the dam, even in the absence of a ‘No Littering’ sign board. Wow! this place really has the capability to transform normal care-free humans in to civic-conscious citizens. In the picture, you can see a big house at the far end of the reservoir. Wish I had a house like that..far from the madding crowd. Just me and nature, and..
Themed pic of the day – Society, travel
I’m a shutterbug !!
Starting today, I will be posting a picture from one of the photo-sharing websites, and write a few words about why I like in the picture. I will try to associate the pic to the following themes:
* Society – the people, city, culture, etc
* Technology – ranging from the oldest to the newest, disruptive, gawky, funny, disruptive, etc.
You can also suggest/send in your pics, and a few words about the picture.
