Aged Orphans

             In India, there is system of Joint family long before and many people lived happily in joint family. Patience and helping each other, working together are the main lessons learned in Joint family. But it is like blue moon to see a joint family and in turn to see a person with patience. Not only, had the family shrunk to Nuclear family, people’s mind too.

      Before parents are given much importance and whatever they decide is the decision for the whole family. Now the condition is upside down. Parents when reach their old age is considered as the waste baggage in home and they are driven out of the home sooner or later. So unfortunate to them. But it is happening in India. About 85% of people are now unable to have their parents in their home as they think they are interfering in their freedom. Many people think it is waste of money to spend for them.

      How cruel people they are!! Even God won’t give them any mercy.
   Many old age homes are occupied fully with them. Many new homes are blooming to care them. Pity the grown up children who don’t need their parents have no money to care them in old homes too even they have luxury life. Some old people are being killed by their own children in the sharp words too. The most awful news in some part of India, old people are killed by some means like making them to bath in cold water after applying oil throughout their body. It kills them slowly but surely.

      Whoever just dropped their parents in old age home and whoever wants their parents to sleep in streets and feed the crumbs of bread laid in dustbin just think a while. YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN SUCH STAGE SOONER OR LATER IN FUTURE. ARE YOU READY TO FACE THOSE?

         Just think for a minute. They helped us to grow and they fed us for their life long. We won’t become poor on feeding them. They need our love and care alone. Take care of your parents in their old age.

EARTH HOUR

           Today the major problem we are facing and doing to our nature is increase in global temperature which is called as "Global Warming".  Global warming is increase in the temperature of the Earth due to increased pollution from vehicles, industries, burning plastics, cutting down trees and many other indirect factors act as a whole to induce the warmth of the Earth atmosphere.

What will happen if our Earth temperature keeps on increasing?

You may think what will be a major problem when there is only a slight increase in the Earth's temperature. No it is not kind of having a slight fever or high fever to get treatment or not to get treatment. It is our mother Nature. Most people even think, Global warming is just a hoax and there is no evidence for it. But I would say it is wrong. If it is a hoax, why should we have many environment changes, like Japan earthquake, Tsunami, last year hurricanes in US. These are symbols of our environment is being changed and it is the high time for us to take necessary step to protect our Mother Nature for our survival.

Okay the next thing you have to know why there is such importance to the Global warming issue is given to. Due to global warming, immediate effect is shown in the icebergs present in the Antarctica so that the snow would melt down to water and increase the sea level. Just imagine if the water in the Ocean increased, what would happen to their border. They just increase and submerge the low lying lands. Next there will be no regular climate and weather. Many chances to form hurricanes like Katrina which strike US recently forms in Ocean and would attack the lands. That is the worst disaster we have to face.

     Instead of keep on hurting the Nature, let us start to protect our Nature and environment. For that today Earth Hour has conducted. In India millions of people turned every lights and electrical equipments for an hour to reduce the electricity usage and also to reduce the increasing warmth in our globe.

   Let us not stop here and would continue this work daily by reducing electricity usage unnecessarily, fuel saving  It is not a work it is our duty.
