What's Tanzania got that India doesn't?

Hi ,

I just found out that on the banks of Lake Natron in Tanzania, the Tatas were planning a soda ash plant, which would have posed a serious threat to the survival of flamingos and the livelihoods of local communities. Now, under huge public pressure there, the Tatas have pulled the plug on this project.

But the same Tatas are still building a destructive port in Dhamra, that threatens to send the endangered Olive Ridley Turtles into extinction.

So, either flamingos are cuter and therefore more deserving of protection than the turtles are. Or then the good folk in Tanzania are better than all of us at making a corporation behave responsibly.

Whatever it is, it's got to change. We've got to stop that port. The Tanzanians have proven that public pressure works. Now it's our turn.

How a 3 year old Kid Cares for his Father

Here is an experience that I would like to share as it clearly indicates the feelings of a 3 year old Kid. Me my wife and my son Hitarth had gone for shopping at Big Bazaar at Kandivali (E). We wanted to check out a model of Paino of company Casio. My daughter Jashavi has started taking piano lessons and that is why we wanted to buy her a new Piano.

So we started out journey on my Bike - Bajaj Platina and reached at the Shopping Mall within 30 minutes. Of course, as usuall the traffic was tremendously slow and we all inhaled lot of polluted air. Unfortunately the model which we were looking for was not available. We picked up a few other stuff for the Mall and started to get back to home.

While returning, I got an attack of Sneezes. When I get this mad thing, I sneeze on an average 25 times in 10 minutes. My son, looking at this, asked me very politely, "Dad, Do you want Medicines?" and after that told her Mom "Give Medicines to Dad". And this he did until we reached home. I sometime wonder that these baby minds... how innocent and caring they are?
