THE FADING BROOKS OF MANKIND

Nature is the best friend to the mankind. Yes I would not be wrong to call them the best companion. Each of the environmental elements cart memories in every single way possible. One such element is our stunned beauty river. Each of have memories to recall with the nature. This piece of writing would help to track back those memories.

The ultimate days spent with the river

 At some point of time we all have made memories with the nature. Have you ever wondered how rivers can make you feel. If you ever happen to walk towards the river the first ever feel would be the flow of the river. Joyfully welcoming you. They make you feel the best at times of loneliness. They capture millions of smiles. The prevalent entertainer to bliss memories.  It’s the joyful mesmerism flow, the true companion to play along with, the best tutor for the ideas, the best therapists to give the pleasant feeling.

The greedless and egoless buddy. They can share anything with you. Imagine the days you spend playing with the river water bud making toys, imagine the days you spent fishing with your friends, imagine the day you went boating with your buddies, the day out swimming with your friends, imagine the day you spent on river splashing water on eachother and many more feelings. Imagine the day you successfully caught the fish and shared with friends, the biggest lesson that made you feel sharing is caring.

 Imagine if I would say all these memories would be lost, just because of human wants. River that gave you everything has nothing to give you.

 How human wants are affecting the rivers?

 The human activities beings are leading to a serious threat to ecology. Human wants are unlimited, we want more and more and in the process of fulfilling our greed we exploited and destroyed the natural resources. But we do take this issue seriously in fact considered as the small issue. In the end human beings are the one who will suffer for its own deeds, yet we ignore this facts and goes on hindering the harmonious existence of nature.
Mangaluru is known for beaches and rivers. These spots are the main environment that catches the attentions of outsiders. However, unfortunately some of these rivers have to become the victims of the human greed and activities. One of the river that flows through Bengri , Mangaluru have become a river of waste dumping area leading to harmful affects to both environment and human themselves. The surroundings of the river areas have become dirty and stinking area which is hazardous to human health and life in water.

The dilemma of the ignorant rivers

Unused ferry
The unused and old ferries were kept near the river without any maintenance. The materials of the ferry like metal, ceramics, woods and other tools have become rusted which contains poisonous mixtures and is harmful for human health, plants nearby and water. The unused ferry occupied certain amount of kilometers along with its wastages dumped nearby. In these areas plants are not allowed to growth and also the fertility of soil is lost. During rainy seasons the rusted particles are swept down to the river this cause serious threat to the life in the water.
Waste in the water
The sides of the river are filled with plastics, rubbers, wrappers, kitchen wastes and many other wastes. As a result these waste disturbed the aquatic life, especially the non degradable waste which is not only a disturbance to life in water but also human health.

Unhealthy Environment
As it is filled with waste, it pollutes water and has become a breeding place for mosquitoes which is the main cause for malaria. The diseases not only confined to the surrounding households but spreads all around. At some point this diseases cost life. The river is filled with dirt and waste, it produce unpleasant smell and creates unhealthy environment to the surroundings and to human.
Fishing
Fishing is another way of exploiting the life in water. Annually fishing happens in this area causing many live of fishes. These activities as clearly known are done just to satisfy ourselves and not for any other purpose. Yet it must be note that the tasty mouth are leading to the serious extinction of life in the sea.
What roles have been played by the laws?
There are many laws applicable to these issues here I would highlight few. This could also help us take one step further to protect our environment.

The Water (Prevention and control of Pollution) Act 1974
This act is introduced by the government of India with its main objectives to prevent human activities of polluting water and life in the water. This Acts is initiated to preserved water and to control human activities polluting water in variety ways.

The Environmental Protection Act 1986
It is an umbrella Act where all the other acts comes under. This Acts was introduced to protect and preserved environment in and around the country.

Biological Biodiversity Act 2002
This Act is of recent initiation implemented in the year 2002. The main aim of this Act was to preserved the rich flora and fauna of the nation. The National Biodiversity Authority was set in Chennai in 2003 to inspect and protect the biodiversity of the nation.  

How effectively are these made use of?

Though the laws are being implemented it is existed for sake. People do not bother at all to follow these rules. Even the law makers are the law breakers in the place like India. When it comes to environment it is considered as the minute issues except for some handful individuals like environmental activists, naturalists, and so on. The common majority on the other is not at all concern about the crisis of biodiversity in the country.

If only each individuals realize that our actions against this peaceful environment is incorrect, if only we realize that preserving and protecting environment means giving ourselves and future generation a meaningful life.

We are afraid to take responsibility of saving our environment no matter at how much we exploited them. It is high time that each individual’s should be responsible citizens of nature and environment and take care of it instead of harming them. This is one of the only ways to reduce harming environment and surroundings.

POEM ON : THE FALLING VOICE OF THE BIRDS

From fallen leaves; On the lively trees, The silent dreams, Before the raising sun, the chirping bird; Made  my pleasant days On the fallen trees now, The fallen voice of, esteemed beauty, Of his golden voice, Is now washed away, He is broken for all the happenings; He can barely fly to make me happy, No one looks up to this bird anymore. He is just object because we all have better works, The people are too busy, And controlled by money, To care about the bird, They could not look down, To the broken, sad bird, We have no time to make him feel the warmth nor to sooth him, Things  are vanishing away, Without the mesmerising voice, And while they are now happy, we can’t  and not ignore, The bird there to die, On the lively trees.

Media the Voice for environment

In the name of development we have encroached the forest, lakes and waterways and what not?  When too much of human activities are conducted against nature it goes in its course be that Kashmir flood, incident in Kedarnath region 2013 or tsunami, cyclones and all types of natural calamities throughout the world. No media is discussing the root cause of the problems which can bring change in the society by the media. Living in harmony with the nature we all know about its importance, but when it comes to practice we tend to forget about it. Everyone wants development, but at what cost? Who would listen to the victims? few oppose industrialisation that has equilibrium  with the nature. How many dams, hydroelectric power plants can be laid along the river 10-60? More importantly there is no clear cut policy on dams, and no thoughts as how dams should be built, where or how? Today, society’s interaction with the nature is extensive that environment question has assumed a...

In fact, they are the best homemade remedies for health and beauty.  Ever wonder these bees and wraps have colonies, queen and duties. Honey bees have their own kingdom and queen. Each member of these colonies has works and duties.  These Queen bees are larger than the workers.  They have colonies which lay eggs and administrate.

The workers perform their duties such as building the nest and food.  Workers on the first week clean the nest, build nest walls and repair the damages.  Queen bee spends most of her day checking cells and laying eggs in them. After 1 or 2 days substance called larvae hatch from the egg. Workers feed the larvae and royal jelly. Just like the election process. Here the ruler is selected on the simple basis.  Bees Matin...
