I'm with you Greta Thunberg...100%

So it happens that the grid of communications technology coupled with pollution is cooking this planet and NOT ONE communications company is willing to make public the data on how much the cellular and other wireless communication companies are heating up the atmosphere...we know for sure that there are many other forms of pollutants...but i believe that the strongest pollutant is the continuously radiating cell towers, satellites and cell phones...this planet does not have the balls to shut down cellular communications because its a virus fed to the humankind and they are all infected...if you are a smart kid Greta...take on the communications companies...because i know you cannot take on the space based radar of the military giants...someday i hope you realize that i will be long gone after this post...but you may still have an inkling of a chance of being that catalyst to save the planet...maybe the Arctic space based radar for SAC or NORAD wont give you the heat maps over time fo...

In solitude we find the best of nature :)

A brief visit to the rocks by the beach yesterday...the image is a bit touched up in the blue plane. :) Some flowers in the garden...unedited :) classic macro :) unedited...! My room...when the roof is removed :)

Some say the definition of a developed nation is where the rich use public transportation...well in that gray zone of comfort while travelling we have changed from a 2x2 Asiad 25 years ago to the new Volvo's and Scania's in today's times...how automotive tech has changed...the 2x2's still chug along on the expressway but the power of the new machines like the Volvo's is unmatchable...its a good machine and i have seen them make themselves useful over the past 13 years of Mumbai-Pune travel...as luck would have it i always have managed to retain my seat number four at the Sunday 4:30 bus for the better part of thirteen years...the journey is always entertaining when there is a talkative person next to you...anyways...the Shivneri service has been very kind to me over the years...most of the staff at Dadar don't know me by name but they are aware of me as a familiar face...I have never found government transport to be as efficient, well maintained and clean ...

Mission Mangal..."copy that" to those who are in the LCA program

The "sarkaari naukri" definition in a good light...just saw "Mission Mangal"...both failure and success shown in good light...only the impact is not probably 1:1 in terms of that feeling when a critical system goes bust...having a 450 crore rocket go to smoke is much much more than the raising of ones hair on the skin of the neck...fortunately the mission to mangal has gone very well...there are a few things that are at times purely funny and probably not allowed in the context of mission monitoring [rebooting a system through a power cycle]...this is like saying we'll reboot an jumbo aircraft in mid air and everything will just normally come back up since its "supposed to" :) [at least i hope that's not how things work...!!!] or well even the praying for the autonomous guidance system to work :) in reality these systems are tested, software simulated, re-tested as hardware in loop and tested some more just to avoid a failure scenario...this ...
