SPIRIT OF MUMBAI

'  Mere Desh ki Mitti  ....  I won't  Mitaao  it with sweeping & swabbing ' swears my nephew Aamen. ' Whaaaaa..... ttt ?  Tere Desh Ki Mitti  ? Ok , fine then gather it in the dust pan and cultivate Gold , Diamonds, Pearls whatever on it... Just Do It. ' - I scream. ' Mouse the Trouse, your OCD for cleanliness is worse than Kenny Sebastian's mom.' - Aamen the Caveman. ' Don't Kenny-zone me. '  '   Har ghar kuch kehta hain , Aamen are you listening ? Your Ghar is seeking attention - Declutter me, clean me, swab me , air me and pamper me like a family member. I want to feel  royale  so that you can enjoy my majestic charm. I know you love stories. Here's my story ...  Kahani Ghar Ghar ki . ' Once upon a time, India was the most fertile, prosperous and leading nation of  the world. Indians  were happy, healthy and wealthy. Naturally the atmosphere was clean, clear and pure. Alas! that's all History ...

Do you love babies ?. Pamper them. My family gave Red Carpet ( read  Pamper   ) Welcome to my nephew Aamen on 23rd November 2001. My family's motto is " Jo Bachchese sachmooch karte pyaar , woh Pampers se kaise kare inkaar ". Since then Pampers is the 5th member of our family.  Babies are so delicate, all the time safe and secure in mom's womb. But by the time they enter the outside world , it's all topsyturvy. Now-a-days, these babies' entries into the real world is so dangerous due to the pollution. The more the protection we give to babies is most welcome for their holistic health. My nephew Aamen has always been the most happy, mischievous and people-friendly child. He loves to be cuddled but hates if any outsider tries to kiss him. We respect his likes and dislikes. We shower him with flying kisses and sometimes kiss his hands as if he is the Emperor. These small gestures make Aamen immensely happy. Dry baby , happy baby : Aamen enj...

Nature's Bountiful Beauty is all ours. By Nature , the nature is godly generous. Even the dream of walking in the lush green jungle full of flora and fauna, listening the melodious opera of chirping birds, watching the luscious and glorious bloom of fruits, breathing in the crystal clean air, fragrant with flowers ....... ascends us to seventh Heaven. There's a Hell lot of distance and difference between the Dream and the reality. We humans have polluted the Mother Earth , with our greed for more and much more of this and that.  We cut / burn jungles for wood. We capture / shoot animals to satiate our desires, which in turn destroys Bio-diversity. 'Global Warming' is not just a matter of Debate but Death as well. A new WHO air quality model confirms that 92% of the world’s population lives in places where air quality levels exceed WHO limits*. Approximately  3 million deaths a year are linked to exposure to outdoor air pollution. Indoor air pollution can be ju...

              Long long ago....  Once upon a time.... take your pick ... India was the most prosperous, modern, developed, leading nation of the World. India was so prosperous, rich that Indians possessed Gold, Silver by kilos and still there were no thefts as all Indians were honest and hardworking. Most of all the Kings, rulers were Godly, as in benevolent, caring, loving, sharing their wealth with their subject/ citizens alike. All were happy, healthy and wealthy. Naturally the social atmosphere was clean, clear and pure.                 The above paragraph belongs to History-text-book now. It all seems like a myth in the year 2014. Why? How? When exactly did India go downhill? Any chance for India - Indians to regain the lost Glory?                  Yes by all means it's possible. We ourselves have the solution to our problem. We are r...
