The World environment celebrated on 5th June every year. The elated fact came to my reminiscent memory after I popped open the days newspaper. It was exactly like an alarm clock bugging in on a hangover. With sleepy eyes I open to look for the hot news in our ever hot newspapers and on every page I found articles about Birds, trees, sewerage, on-going construction sites menace etc. It was then the realization came over.
So it was World Environment Day and it seemed everybody was doing his part or trying to or just pretending to. I won’t judge.
I am a person of conscience and so it happens as a matter of fact it shrieks, shouts and attempts to help me decide a right. A fact remains that I am human and human does not so much listen to his conscience too much. So these facts cleared, my conscience shrieked me to contribute. My mind boggled hw I can share it.
Another fact that 5th June this year in 2010 happened to be a Saturday. As out of a routine, recently developed, I am used to sit up on my laptop for a very secretive US-UK-INDIA well actually the worlds top mission—Mission Facebook.
As my mind was still boggling me to think of a contribution I could make to preserve our environment I found a friends update wishing a “Happy Environment Day”. This made me think why wish this a particular day or boggle your mind to contribute on this day. This act requires being committed every day. Well as I already said I am a human my status read-“Happy Environment Day—on this day I decide to 1. Recycle, 2. No plastic, 3 Plant trees”.
Satisfied with my petty and pathetic contribution on this Environment Day I went to throw out the garbage in a polyethylene bag.

The Will of Earth
I am dying. The sheer fact that it is known to all doesn't
put remorse in anybody's heart. It is told to them, artific
salutes being made-movies, paintings and representations.
I am dying and they know it all. Still I am laden with dirt-
the pollutants from human industries, garbage from houses.
I thought I gave you food. I was once proud of it, of giving
you bounties of fruits, chemicals, precious stones. I thought
I do so great. Have so many children that I bore. My sisters
had warned me. My son Moon warned me the day this human
specie invaded him. I had not cared.
My son Moon told me that what I am so proud of, and one that is
capable of reaching him could change nature all togather. I was
warned this race has outdid time and time will outdo them. My
sisters all from Jupiter to Pluto warned me that those who do not
stick to their nature and are curious to know more than their
capability, such creatures bring their own doom.
My sisters, my son you did warn me and I had not taken heed.
Now my doom has been created with these humans still careless,
still irreversible in their acts.
O, still still, this Earth sisters, this Earth, my son will play
out foul and these humans run to sheath on you all. O, still! still!

Life this, Life that
Life this , Life that. Isn’t this the feeling that you are the one whoce had to be someone, something or somewhere and are now , wherever you are, wrongly stuck. Or is it just a feeling in the gut that the day isn’t what you thought it to be.
This is not an uncommon feeling though coming out of the tragedies of life or just a simple fact that one won’t stop expecting or desiring. But still hold on, look on and keep everything at hand.
Not knowing what will and what would be, one is moving towards goal, towards failure.
Achievement did it all, once my father told me. A mans achievement leads others to desire, to follow and then it is also a known fact that everyone’s fate isn’t the same, nor it can be duplicated. Then it is that happens that a bundle moving in one same direction is definitely lead to choke that what could have been.
Expectations are such things that push a person to such a different level. Then there will be annoyance when ones expectations are broke. So why is it that one do not stop expecting? Is it that one cant help loving that expectations develop automatically. Or is it that one is too selfish for himself that it cant help expecting. In both case they broke and it is hurt.
Then there is also a fact that without suffering a pain one isn’t to cherish the smile. Like Gautama Buddha had a realization, the one above all living or dead.
For it is not a question of what is and what was, Life is a current flow and one need to go with flow. Don’t be hasty in taking pain for it could bring a joy along.
