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.

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...

The effects of climate change 

Globalization has pre-dominantly made life easy. The factors of productivity have led to great changes. I would hereby highlight the environmental perception regarding the production.  Farmers are the prevalent contributor for the Indian economy. Cultivation is a dynamic process. Indians are considered to be late adopters. At times this can be a great blessing. As it would be a bane for scarce sectors. Technology has led to a quantity of productivity. Is productivity a bane to the environment. Let’s consider the safe means of productivity concerning the environment The effects of Globalisation are leading to major changes. Gone are those days   farmers enjoying to in the farm land. The son of the soil is now the spoiler of the soil. It's all because of the immensive demand to towards the production The fast growing trends of technology drive people to produce more. The mode of producing products is based on the quantity rather quality. The process of pro...

Youngsters have always been the contributing factor for change. Young minds are the quick adopters and reactors. Keeping this in mind. Keshava Shishumandira Kulai and Gopalakrishna Bajana Mandali, Vidyanagara, Kulai in association with department of Mass Communication and Media Studies, St Aloysius College organised an awareness program on ‘ Summer Vanamahotsava’ and drawing competition at Gopalakrishna Bajana Mandali, Kulai on April 3, 2016 The event focused by  creating  an awareness among the children about the need to protect environment and building their surround ings with Green. The need of the hour is to imbibe the importance of having the green surroundings in the young minds such that they inculcate this and preserve their environment. “The increasing temperature in the city is an alarm to get ready for a bigger disaster. Its time to teach young minds about the value of the trees” said Prof. P. Krishnamurthy, Vice Principal and HOD of Kannada department Govin...

Human expansion always cleared some forest for needs.  In the name of agriculture, larger areas are cleared for domestic requirements. D eveloped countries have a recreational forest, how about developing countries. For thousands of years, forests used for hunting are now preserved in the  rational way.  Mountains unfortunately, don't support large trees. As we all tend to go for development and luxuries. Whether we can rebuild forest  in the same state is a doubtful  aspect to think about. So many species of fauna and flora have now vanished. By far the most serious aspect of deforestation is the  forest, where crops can provide profit. The trees can also be profitable of course, as in India we use for books and few countries for toilet papers being made from trees valuable trees such as teak have been used for furniture and the interior designing of the house. This hardly recompenses for the replacement for the  sites as we walk ...

The richness in tradition and culture makes India unique. From birth to death we have variety of customs and ceremonies followed. Each of these aspects are connected to  the nature.The realization of the fact that humans are bond with the nature astonishes us. When a child is born, right after 28 days its served with the milk deeped in the gold. The footprints of the first walk are kept for memories. The 21 st century’s citizens have adopted modernisation. Westernization and modernization has become the trend of new era– ignoring nature. Unknowing we are searching for the natural resources today.  But somewhere deep in our mind we have the hereditary of our ancestors. Rural sectors have a way of coating their floor ,cow dung which protects us from flies and keeps the floor tidy .Then cow dung, now – marble, tiles, granites which also from the heart of the earth. We buy luxury stones like diamond and pearls to make us beautiful and grand. The ladies wear ornaments ...

Those who are looking for a spot to enjoy must make sure to the destination of Pilikula. It is a stairway to the nature’s version of heaven on earth. Located in Mangalore, Karnataka about 30 minutes away from Mangalore city, this place has a lot to reveal. It is part of culture and heritage. The name Pilikula itself is an evidence of its interconnection with nature. Pilikula literally means pond of tigers. In tulu language ‘pili’ means ‘tiger’ and ‘kula’ means ‘lake’. In older days tigers used to come to this lake to drink water. That’s how the zoo got its name. It interests people who are looking for scenic beauty and peace. But nowadays endangered animals like tigers are rarely seen in the zoo. The tiger’s population is declining very fast. Many of the forest and zoos are empty. Though the authority has different laws regarding the protection of animals, people turn a deaf ear against it. Every year July 29 is observed as the ‘International Tigers Day’. We celebra...

Ever since the nature was formed.  The essential factors are always the added beauty of these nature creations, the flora and fauna has always attracted people. The excitement to see the wild animals and rare species of plants is still prevailing. Seeing these creatures is a great opportunity. Humans are curious by nature and have an inherent desire to explore the unknown and discover environment. The only opportunity that we human beings get to explore the wild life is through zoos. People enjoy looking at the wild animals closer, so that they get the feeling of wild life experience and also get to click pictures. The wild life sanctuaries are not only the great places to get up close to the wildlife, but many are also doing their part to bolster the decreasing population of wild animals. Protection of wild animals has come to such an extreme that today to protect them they have been kept inSanctuaries. Animals kept there give a different look altogether to that part...
