Light, day and Global Warming!

I have nothing to write right now...So why not keek butt?
I'm really pissed off now :P


This time, it's the Municipal Corporation thats at fault. BIG fault.

These days, you're receiving messages/mails/scraps to switch off ALL lights on the 15th of December i.e today, to switch off all lights, to signify to the world that we've started the movement to stop global warming. Robbers will be out on the streets. It'll be like a jackpot for them lol!


I'll surely switch off my lights, and other appliances too. It's a good example set for the world to take note, and open their eyes...
I say WHY only Mumbai, why not the WHOLE country? Or all the countries in the world? EVERYONE. It won't hurt ANYONE, to switch off lights for such a short time!


Excepting hospitals, everyone can afford to follow these instructions with no problems!
Anyways, coming to my point...! In all of this, the municipal corporation does the TOTAL opposite of what they're supposed to do...

Street lights are *supposed* to be used in the night? That's common sense, right?
I mean there can't be anything simpler...Nights are dark, so we need some light...:P
Streetlight cycle...
It's a simple 1-2 process:

1. Streetlights are switched on in the evening.








2. People are happy.





Here comes the sad part...


It's like 3 pm. I'm returning from college...There are NO light repairations going on either (That's an excuse to keep the whole line of streetlights switched on)



This is case almost everyday!
Here's another...

I've got some more pics like these, of different areas...The above pics are from Sindhi Society...

Here's Mahim...




This pic was taken at about 12 noon. All the lights are switched on. Wow, it's dark out here in the sun!
And here's the flipside...



Dude, where's like, all the light gone? ;)

Ever heard of the "Fountain of the Youth" ?
Well, come to Mumbai... Or better, have a look at this "Drinking water" facility =))
I couldn't stop laughing!!!
In case you didn't notice, there are NO taps. None.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!
Bravo!
Wow, it's almost 7:30 pm, gotta switch off everything! (The grand awakening)
I'll touch on a more deeper issue in my next post. Till then, adios!

hey nice blog...
u did SOME research on this post... gr88.. waise the story is same everywhere..
In our society, water tankers come at a daily basis. And they drop half of their water on the roads itself. Can't they put a 'dhakkan' on the tanks!!! gosh!

Adijo said...

true true...!
thanks for all ur replies...

the dhakkan has been a problem...! people keep stealing and selling it for money...how sick!

hope that the people themselves become "civilized" and think of different ways of earning money...!

the govt needs to do a thousand times better than what it is doing today, if it is to make mumbai into "shanghai"...lolits a fantasy right now...! skyscrapers aint the sky..theres a LOT more to a developed then a bunch of skyscrapers and a good view of them ...!!!
