28th march 2009.the world observed earth day. an election to save mother earth. to cast your vote, you needn't take an id, no long queues, no boring speeches- nothing at all. just awareness to turn off your lights and all electrical equipments for one hour.
last year when this was observed, 6 crore people participated.this year the number is sure to go up. thanks to the media for that!
we have so many such days- mothers day, fathers day, friendship day, teachers day, valentines day...
we always ask ourselves, do we need these days to love our parents, teachers, friends or lovers?same is the case with earth day.let us save electricity not just on one day.
turn off unwanted lights and fans, switch off the refrigerator for an hour or so. do the tiny little things that can save electricity.
trust me, its not just going to reduce global warming, its also going to save you a hell lot of money!

elections!
the much awaited election day- april 16th is fast approaching. posters are all around the place. public meetings are in full swing. candidates are busy visiting prospective voters.
Ernakulam Left candidate Sindhu Joy had come to St. Teresa's college a few days back. she spotted the right crowd. the college being a famous womens college in the city, has a good bunch of young ladies who believe that women can do things independently even without a mans help.so she caught the right cord- women empowerment!
little did she realize that the youth of today dont even bother about politics. after all, there are so many things for us to worry about- fashion, movies, gossip...
well, this year i got my voters id. and i'm really excited about voting. i'm not a fan of any party nor any candidate. but i believe the expirience is worth enjoying . after all, every party has its pros and cons. right?
its nice to vote and feel a part of democracy. but it sometimes makes us think,whats the point?!
we vote believing the promises the parties offer.but once the election is done with, we feel like fools!
hope atleast this time we see a change:)
