Is it it???


Yesterday i was surfing through channels when i tuned on to ZEE NEWS. And guess what?? I was startled. There had been a ragging case reported to the police and pictures were seen of the police force strolling in the porch area. Some 25 students of 2nd year are supposed to be the malefactors. The students ragging were of 2nd yr b arch and ragged were 1st year.

Now that leaves us with a question. That, is it over?? The legacy which students of MANIT have passed on batches after batches is destroyed?? Will there be no interaction at all between seniors and their juniors, whom they groom more than anything let alone rag?? Will there be no meets?? No GR?? No fresher nights?? No cricket?? No wooing girls?? No junior asking the name of a senior girl on the statement of his senior?? Will there be no TTN in a few years?? No Bhelis?? Then what in the hell is MANIT going to be in course of few years??

The college administration is distressed about its reputation. It wants to end ragging. And yes a few things should be stopped but not on the cost of a sullen ending to the lagacy which MANIT has had. Ofcourse it is MANIT and not MACT. In MACT the faculty used to teach, there were erudite professors who used to enlighten students with their knowledge and there was an awesome interaction between seniors and juniors. Be it on the pretext of ragging. Ragging never used to be the main motive of seniors. It used to be interaction. But now no senior is going to put his own ass on the lines for the sake of interaction.

Now i am going to write some lines which i feel would be wiped out of the minds of the MANITians...Rubbing tears from my eyes i say...

VEER BAHADUR LADKE KAUN????? MACT MACT.....
SABSE AAGE LADKE KAUN????? MACT MACT....
SABSE AAGE COLLEGE KAUN????? MACT MACT....
SABSE HANDSOME LADKE KAUN????? MACT MACT....
SABSE GANDI LADKI KAUN????? MACT MACT.....

( at least girls are going to be happy for this....somebody gets some happiness )

Global warming...a necessity is required for new innovations..

For quite sometime now the talks about global warming have been rampant. Scientific or speculative...hoax or not....It is true that global warming is happening...It happens because of the ability of the greenhouse gases to retain heat. Now, the glaciers may be melting due to this or they may not be. Asian glaciers may or may not have the same rate of melting as the other ones. Melting of the Gangotri glacier may or may not be imminent but if we keep on emitting GHG's like that aren't they going to be at some time in the future??


IPCC said that the glaciers are melting and emission of GHG in the atmosphere should be limited. Raina commission headed by V.K.Raina researches the data from the last 150 years and concludes that the Gangotri glacier is not suffering from the effects of globalwarming because they are at much higher altitudes than the glaciers in Alaska. It says that the IPCC is passing on speculative judgements on the melting of glaciers by assuming to be melting in proportion to the speed of melting of Alaskan glaciers. They say that our glaciers are a completely different system as they are at much higher altitudes.

Does this mean that they won't melt ever??? Does this imply that himalayan glaciers are immune to the heating up of atmosphere?? Well....the truth is that as high as they are, they are still existent on the same planent as the Alaskan glaciers and they are destined to feel the aftermath of the climatic catastrophes if it occurs.

Now, some of us may be tempted to think that as they are not melting there is no need to convert to a Green road of development. Need has been at times been the mother of invention and innovation. In our way to pursuit of a green GDP we will have to allocate funds for researches. This will certainly lead to new innovations. We people have the tendency to be indolent with our measures. We try to search for new methods only when we are forced to do so. Thus the premise that global warming is not imminent coming from our leaders may be true for now. But it is not going to be always. Instead of searching for excuses for continuing on our current stance we should be thirsty for innovations.

A green road to development is a NEED....Because global warming is a reality...May or may not be now...But sure to be one in the future...

M here guys...

For quite sometime now i have been thinking of coming to party with my mates who have been blogging recently and i have been giving comments on their blogs. I've had enough of commenting on others' blogs now. Now i have come to the party with everyone. So guys...do comment on my stuff too....
