IT'S THE FIRST RAIN !

The monsoon is here !

It's so pleasant now!
I stood on the porch for so long today just enjoying the scent of wet earth and the beautiful weather !
Yesterday I couldnt even imagine stepping out of my room.

Though i had to rush in after some time because it had started to thunder ! ( I am kinda scared of thunders. I don't know why but i was never comfortable with them :(

I had so much work to do today...edited more than 50 articles and profiles and blah blah...
but this rain made me soooooo happy ...I am not tired at all.

I am lovin it!!!

How do societies collapse?

I am reading a book called Collapse by Jared Diamond, thanks to the thoughtfulness of my friend who decided to gift it to me.
Diamond is talking about how societies commit ‘ecocide’ and about external factors that contribute to its collapse…

I have just started reading it and I thought it would be interesting to discuss the possible ways societies we live in can collapse if we don’t give attention to certain changes happening around us and the possible ways we can counter the ill effects.
For example in Mumbai, the rapid urbanization is more or less done without keeping in mind the ecological balance. Aren’t we literally digging our own graves by being negligent of the fragile environment we live in?
Basic things like separating the waste into recyclables and the disposables are not being enforced into practice.

its imperative that we start paying attention to the adverse changes and force our governments to act accordingly ...

In this regard check this out!

Has anyone heard about Adiemus or karl jenkins ?

I had heard the songs in the album before . but had never thought about the music apart from liking it instantly.

recently I heard the songs again at my friend's place and she told me more about the postmodern concept of the songs. they have no 'real' lyrics.
check out the wikipedia link on Adiemus;
