Kashmir is a much-talked about state, but poorly understood. As vested interests play their game to keep the state under turmoil, some activists too have become part of the dirty game. Is every publicity seeking activist is right in giving a highly judgemental but personal opinion which may lead to disruption of peace in the state and influence the impressionable minds? Whatever Ms Arundhati Roy recently said about Kashmir can't be retracted but being a globally known writer she could have logically thought over the issue before expressing her "views" which created such a ruckus in the country.

 
Kashmir- a puppet show

We all have seen a puppet show at some point in our lives…but Kashmir issue has become the Biggest and Hit Puppet show ever staged live nationally and internationally…I truly admit we as a nation are quite enjoying the show and buy tickets promoting different political parties and their propagandas!!...so as this tamasha goes on the “main issue” holds no value at all.
To add on that we get caught up in this false notion of india’s prestige, to talk about prestige how many of us are willing to push india as developing nation, help needy, avoid protests and ‘bandhs’, and the list goes on n on! We are just dumb and mute audience ……

Kashmir, was always a place to "create issues" so that the political vote bank earns well...for aam admi of "main land India", kashimr never matters..other than the stone pelting innocent looking youth in long dresses....yelling elders...shouting leaders...and yes, the dead bodies...we r so used to with death today tht we can sip morning tea with the bloody pix in the front page...for aam indians kasmir is just an "issue"...why? cause we are being "tought" by media / authority in tht way...kashmir no "not human" its a piece of land which we MUST hold...why the hell we need to hold! cause thts our ego..our prestige...i am sure, if india leaves kashmir ppl thr will be in worst situation..but if they wants to be in tht situation (like POK) let them be!
Ms. Arundhuti Troy is trying to be in news, lime light is addictive...she jumps from issues to issues..without being in deep...without even enjoying a bite of mosquito she wants to be with the mosquitos!..we have seen it in many places, right from Lalgarh (WB) to Kashmir...anyway, thts she!!

Coke Nation

The news that Indians consume far less aerated beverages each year than their neighbours in Pakistan and China could be interpreted differently. In comparison to per capita annual consumption of 39 and 21 bottles of aerated drinks in China and Pakistan respectively, average Indian drinks just about 14 bottles in a year. For Coca-Cola this means a serious job at hand for which the company has announced an advertisement budget of $5 billion. For the company, economic growth of a country and its peoples' thirst for aerated beverages is directly coorelated. 

Coca-Cola doesn't consider 'negative' publicity for cola behind poor consumption of the aerated beverage in India. As per its books, brand Coca-Cola has registered consecutive growth for past 27 quarters and has been a leader with a brand volume of 30 per cent. For Coca-Cola the target is to turn it into a 'Coke Nation', on the lines of Mexico where per capita annual consumption is 745 bottles..Whether Indian consumer exercises restraint in gulping the drink whose health consequences are all but known, the flipside to the story is that  the state governments are falling prey to Coca-Cola's investment plans?

Waste Appetite

The clock has turned full circle! After dumping industrial and toxic trash in the developing world all these years, Europe is now shopping for garbage to keep its cities, schools and homes heated. What better place than the developing world to shop for garbage! Reports indicate that northern Europe needs more than 700 million tons of trash to keep its waste-to-energy plants running. Most of its current demand is either domestically met or from garbage shipped from southern Europe.Yet, the demand is far more than what neighboring countries can spare after meeting their domestic needs. 

As more waste incinerators are being built in Sweden, Norway, Austria and Germany to meet the growing demand for heating public places, these countries are left with two options - either encourage households to produce more trash or else import garbage from across the world. For sure, it is easy to import than to produce! A company in England is already shipping some 1,000 tons of garbage to keep its systems running. Since incinerators have cornered environmental controversy in India and for rightful reasons, there exists an opportunity to explore feasibility of exporting as much as 109,589 tonnes of garbage that piles our streets on a daily basis.

To pee or not to pee

Sustained pollution of major rivers; continuous decline in groundwater reserves; priority allocation to non-consumptive sectors; and, growing disparity in water distribution only indicates that the worst is still to come!..
