A poem on the Train

It was a summer morning and I was on a journey to New Delhi on the Duronto Express. I was comfortable and was a little happy. While looking outside my window, a beautiful scene of fields and sky, passing by at a fast pace came to my notice. For the first time in my life, I looked at the world outside my window and wondered at how beautiful the world really is. Soon I was lost in thoughts and the next thing I know, I was trying to put all my thoughts in one poem. The following is the same poem I wrote. I know it is not good as to liking of literature lovers but even then it is something I wrote from the heart. Even today when I read the poem myself I can visualize the scenes and the same thoughts return to me that the world really is a very awesome place.

Like mystery and them clues...
Those reds and those blues...
Those terrains and those turns...
They just seem to pass by.

I always knew there's more than this,
but never knew what all there is to it.

Those dips and those ups...
Those flowers and those shrubs...
Those fields and those ferns...
They just seem to pass by.


I always knew there's more than this,
but never knew what all there is to it.

Those filling scenes and flying thoughts...
Those lazy cows and running goats...
That shiny sun and chill that burns...

They just seem to pass by.

I always knew there's more than this,
but never knew what all there is to it.

Such was the path I've been through,
I just wanted to share some with you.

Water crisis soon to come

According to a UN report, by the year 2030 there will only be 60% of water required in the whole world without a significant policy change. Now that’s a pretty serious situation since in 15 years we are going to have to pay water coming in our homes if this keeps up. Being an Indian, I have how water is used in India. The country is taking its water reserves for granted and is wasting a lot of it without even trying to save a little. With the Global warming, rainfall patterns all over the world have become more unpredictable and cannot be said to rely on. And as population increases so does the demand for potable water, which is going to be hot crisis soon. “India’s groundwater tables are plunging at an alarming rate with reserves in some states dwindling to critical levels. Over 16% of groundwater resources are ‘over exploited’ – mainly in north-western, western and peninsular India.
