In and out!


As soon as the butter cups in our garden around eight in the morning there is a buzz of the honey bees. They fly in to the flower and is out to go to teh nest flower in a few seconds. It looks like that all the flies, about twenty of them would visit all the 200 or so flowers in about an hour!

As the flowers are open only for about three hours, the honey bees arrive at that time alone!

For everything in nature there is a rhythm and pattern!

The thick smog in New Delhi causing air pollution of immense gravity is because humans have violated this rhythm and pattern in nature.

Even the honourable Supreme Court of india asked: 'Does any one care if people die in Delhi due to air pollution'!. The schools are closed. Road traffic is restricted to vehicles. All building constructions are suspended. There is regular spraying of water on the roads to reduce dust in the air.  

But farmers in states of Punjab, Haryana and UP continue burn the stubble of whet and rice, whose smoke reach Delhi to cause this havoc.

How much the politicians collaborate to find an answer to this annual malady during winter months!

We live in difficult times!

I wish humans would think beyond their own convenience! If only farmers have another option to remove the stubble from the ground to prepare it for sowing the seeds, they would respond to do away with the traditional practice of burning the stubble.  

Why is the government not ready to provide machines to pulverise the stubble!
