Noise pollution

I am a morning walker. Every morning at 5.00 AM I go to a nearby district park for my morning walk. For last few days, I find the above DG set running with its enclosure open from three sides. As per the board seen in the photo, deep sewer work is going on a contract given by the government. It creates loud noise and disturbs the peaceful harmony of the morning.

As per Noise Pollution law, DG sets are to be housed in an acoustic enclosure.But here the enclosure is kept open by three sides to create noise pollution.

Can you identify this place?

Can you identify the dirty patch shown in the above picture?
It is in a posh locality of west Delhi.
It is near an apartment block.

Soothing lap of mother nature!!!

DDA’s claim about its District parks is posted on its website - “The lush gardens, picnic huts, musical fountains, playfields and children's parks in these District Parks add joy to the lives of Delhites, since they are just next-door, offering the soothing lap of mother nature.”

But once we visit District Park in Paschim Puri, we find that at least in this case the DDA claim is wrong. The park is in a very pathetic condition. In fact, it does not deserve to be called a park.

It is said that pictures tell you more than words. Here are some pictures then:

Will you call this park, "soothing lap of mother nature"?

Residents of Paschim Puri have submitted a presentation to thei elected representatives, for taking appropriate action:
Shri Sajjan Kumar, Member of Parliament;
Shri Mala Ram Gangwal,Member of Delhi Assembly
Smt. Savita Devi ,Municipal Councilor

Copy is being sent to Lt. Governor.Delhi who is Chairman, DDA.

Let us see what comes out of it.

Happy 2008 - bring love back in our lives

In 2007 we have seen love loosing to hate, peace loosing to violence. We should stop and ponder. Are we going to allow this to continue or we should do something to reverse the trend?

If we want that in year 2008, love should emerge victorious over hate and peace over violence then we need to bring love back in to our lives. My friends wonder where the love has gone. I wonder too. Has love really gone out of our lives or it is still there within our hearts but has been covered by greed which brought hate and violence to the front? Whatever is the situaion we should re-discover love. Without love we cease to be human beings.

Every year people make new resolutions. I also do. Last year I made a resolution to develop positive attitude towards life and people. I succeeded to some extent. I continue with this resolution for year 2008 also.

This year I make a new resolution to bring love back in our lives. Let love be victorious on hate. Let peace be victorious on violence.

I have many wishes too (list is very long. Here are some):

No deaths under blue line buses.

No killings of senior citizens.

No child abuse.

No violence against women.

No road rage.

No police brutality on innocent citizens.

No expolitation of and discrimination against any citizen.

No terror killings.

No photos of ministers on public ads.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
