The memorial of the 'Lion of Kerala' - Veera Pazhassi Raja - who
organized the guerilla warfare against the British East India
Company, is situated at Mananthavady. He was the king of the
Kottayam royal family of Malabar in Kerala, India during the
last decades of the 18th century.

Now look at the above pictures. The first picture is taken around
ten years before. The second and third pictures are new.

Strange na..... Where is the tree in the first picture???

This is how the Archaeological Department of kerala preserving
and conservating ancient, historic monuments and places.

You may be a software professional working on the latest PC, a call-centre employee on your first job, or a teenager tapping away furiously on an assembled computer at home. Whatever slot you fall into, have you stopped to think what happens when you get parts of your PC, or all of it, replaced? Where do these parts go and where does all the unwanted or unusable stuff land up? e-waste or Waste from Electronic and Electrical Equipment is no longer a subject for us. Instead, there is a growing realisation that the issue may assume dangerous proportions over the next few years if it continues to be left unaddressed.

The e-waste piling up is not only computer parts. Remember we had pagers once upon a time, before mobiles came along and created a new lifestyle? Where are those pagers? And what happens to that fridge you exchanged for a bigger, shinier one, with two doors? Also, the old TV and the outdated mobiles exchanged for trendier ones? The batteries, tubelights, ovens, ac, vacuum cleaners, printers, phones, faxes, HiFis, electronic toys, medical appliances….. the list will never end..................

....... they all add to the e-waste dump that is getting bigger and bigger. Recycling these gadgets, using some parts and discarding the others reduces the dump, but the problem persists.
The situation is alarming. End-of-life products find their way to recycling yards in countries such as India and China, where poorly-protected workers dismantle them, often by hand, in appalling conditions. Recycling e-waste causes diseases to those working with the parts too. Violating the environment is a crime against posterity. We always tend to forget that posterity includes our descendants.

For soon, e-waste may come in Villain's avatar, carrying a cartload of diseases to haunt us. Deadly scenario, but then, `Tomorrow is another Day'….. Miles to go before sleep……

It was August 15, 1947,
the nation woke up breathing in the air of freedom to herald a new beginning.It is the freedom that gave India a new Identity as a sovereign country after 300 years of colonial rule.

It was free to govern its destiny. The Indian history had written
yet another chapter in its book.Soon the pages will be turned and another chapter would be written. Time has the quality to put a blanket over the past.At the time of independence, India was just recovering from the effects of second world war and the post-war reconstruction schemes had to be completed without delay. Since independence, India has made enormous strides & faced enormous problems. The mere fact that India has not like so many other Third World countries, succumbed to dictatorships, military rule or wholesale foreign invasion is a testament to the basic strength of the country's government and institutions. Economy has made major steps forward in improving agricultural Output and Industries have expanded to the stage where India is one of the World's top ten Industrial powers.

Today, the Indian economy is a dynamic one & a vibrant one. The true measure of India's success is that India has transformed itself from a Third world country into one of the World's fastest growing economies.

Since then, August 15, today, it has become a day of special significance - celebrated with the Tricolor, the parades, the patriotic speeches and songs, the remembrance...............
Make sure to be a part of it...................

His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Poem lyrics of Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.
