something i wrote during the tsunami

plss read this, not for me, not for u….but because u got this mail and because it wont kill to spend a couple of mins reading. it was supposed to be serious, before i started. but then, u know me.

well, i know how much devastation of life and property has taken place in the last couple of weeks and so do u. tv, newspapers, radio, internet, its everywhere. everyone must surely have read of the numbers and expressed shock. everyone has heard stories, stories of loss, stories of suffering, stories of miraculous surivivors.And i have to say, its great to see the help coming forward from all over the world, in terms of money and food and everything. everything that can be done to protect the survivors is being done. but i think thats not wher it should stop. we have to think better, think about the future, think about wat caused the tsunami, think how we can avoid such things from happening in the future. scientists and oceanographers are predicting a bigger tidal wave somewhere in the pacific ocean sometime in the next 10 yrs and an even bigger one in the atlantic in the next 15 yrs. the instinctive reactions i get from ppl hearing this is,”oh gosh! we better not stay anywher near the ocean”,”we better sell off the property we have over the beach”,” i think we should start saving money in case of any trouble” and that sort of things. not one asks “wat can we do to stop it from occuring” or “maybe ther is something we can do to avoid that from happening”. i’m not talking about scientists or reasearchers here. they somehow pray that these things happen, so that they can learn about them and make sure they dont happen again. not that i’m saying they are bad ppl or anything, its just their job.
anyway, the thing is, researchers from all over the world have arrived at a conclusion over the cause of the ‘04 tsunami. and the cause it turns out is pollution. pollution!! u ask, how can that be?? well, lets start at the base. the earthquake in the ocean near indonesia that caused the tidal wave, it seems, occurred because of the sea bed in that region hasnt been dug in the last 3-4 yrs. the digging in the seabed every year as u know, is done by the marine animals, fishes et all, as a part of their reproductory cycle, wherein they lay eggs. but because of the pollution of the water near the coast and it slowly venturing into the ocean, the marine life has slowly but surely evacuated the area. now wat caused these fishes and other animals to move away is pretty obvious. the sea, since a long time has been considered by us humans to be a waste disposal place. its huge, its available and its free. wat else do u need? the answer ofcourse here is, common sense. but lets not talk about it right now. nuclear waste, poisonous chemical waste disposal and the most horrifying of all, sewage. yes, u read it right, what u piss and shit everyday,without fail i might as well add, goes into the ocean. along with the other ten thousand crore people who use drainage in the world. its wat is making the sea more poisonous and the soil less fertile. and so, i have decided to pledge that everyday henceforth, i am going to piss in my garden, atleast once. imagine how much of it will stop going into the ocean, if only the other 10000 crore ppl will follow my footsteps. u’ll be a part of the process helping in making the world a better place and more importantly a safer one to live in, for u and for the generations to follow. imagine how much satisfaction u’ll feel just knowing ur doing ur bit for the world.
plege ur oath today.
