As the sunday night approaches, I cannot but help wishing if the day was a little longer I could do a bit more, no no no a lot more!Well we all will have 24 hours always and will always try to pack in as much as possible.

Noida killings: How safe are we?
When Noida killings were first reported, my initial reaction was that of horror. As amother I could imagine the grief of the affected parents. Could Not imagine how anyone could be so barbaric. But then I think the 2 persons being discussed here are mentally sick. This sets me thinking how do we protect our children. Who all come under the scanner ... more...

Tiger: Jewel of India- in trouble
We went to Sariska in 1994,(long ago, na?), We were an excited group, looking forward to spotting the Pride of India. But much to our disappointment, we saw almost all animals mentioned on the board outside the entrance gate, except the tiger. Same was the case with Rajaji National Park, near Haridwar in 1996. We hit jackpot in Ranthombore, in 1999... more...

How about bringing to book those either responsible or whose responsibility it was to prevent or mitigate such disasters? How about a little disaster managemen... more...
