The Butterfly Man

GEC is a green campus.. esp in the monsoons. (green in the true sense, engicos wil know wat i mean) n i have a green fren (nt so literally).

it started in the monsoons. this green guy running behind butterflies (no he isn a 3 year old).
this green guy is a man on a mission. a mission to capture every butterfly in gec. his sole aid was his tiny sony ericsson.

you wud find him walking out from the most unexpected places walkin towards u with a triumphant smile. n then there would be times when he would be runnin towards nothingness. Spending hours hovering over flowers, i d wondered if he d turned into one of em, springin in n out of ur vision jus like one of em butterflies.

capture them he did. but it din stop there! this green guy wants to secure the habitats of butterflies...give them a brighter tomorrow.

butterflies are sensors of a healthy environment. they tel u how GREEN the greens around you are in essence.the more u find them around u, the greener ur avenues.

this green guy is very pushy abt this whole green affair. he got us into this paper campaign. "save paper, save trees". spoke to our faculty n all so as to encourage reduction in paper consumption for term work. a butterfly smiled.(we did too)

for the first time ever we had a photography exhibition (art n butterfly photography exhibition in support for the campaign). many realised how ignorant we are of the biodiversity around us. rang bells for some. time to gear up for action.

the result, green guy encouraged revival of nature club in gec on World Earth Day. a discussion on global warming followed by a cleanliness drive.

more people are talkin abt it, i guess there wil be atleast some reduction in the waste generated in our otherwise-not-so-green campus.

there had been a lot of crticism of this green guy as he chased butterflies in sun n rain. BUTTERFLY MAN was one of the names loosely inspired from this criticism. as he puts it , "the flap of a butterflies wing has changed his life"... where's ur butterfly?

be the change you want to see... n go chase ur butterfly no matter wat the world thinks!!

अजुन माझे चुकले - माकले शब्द तुला टोचत असतील सावलीमध्ये कधी चुकून क्षण ओले भिजवत असतील पाउस म्हणून , वेड्या मनाची समजूत ही , तू घालत असशील मी नसले तरी कधी , चोरून, स्वप्न माझी पाहत असशील नसेन मी , पण हरवलेली प्रीत माझी खरी आहे एक डाव फसला , म्हणून आयुष्यभराची दूरी आहे

Trade-off

Trade-offs. used this term a couple o times couple o places. Dint think i d b using it in lifE as such. There's always a trade-off , between what's in your hand at right now, and what u wanna hold. Between what u can do, and what u wanna do. Between ur heart and ur head. Should there be? if we are a single entity, should what we feel be different from what we live? shouldn't life be bound by one philosophy, a single thought that runs through you, and reflects in everything that you do? Should there be a trade-off between being happy and making someone happy? Shouldn't it be the same? i can't understand compromises. I cant understand giving up something for something else. There cant be something less and something more... its either something o nothing. i cant understand why we sometimes fake ourselves. or we drift to believe that we are something else. why is inactivity so elusive? What can be achieved from endless conversations tat lead nowhere, head nowhere? Why ...

smoke off yer life

Its been some time since my last post…..but I was preoccupied with other matters… Back to ma writin What is the difference between addiction n habit…if any!! The first thing that I turned to for an answer was a dictionary! In the GREAT DICTIONARY (no adjective, the dictionary I refer is itself called the GREAT DICTIONARY…nt oxford, m a bit unorthodox) i found this: ADDICTED is defined as being physically dependant on a certain thing, or, being devoted to a particular interest or activity HABIT was defined as a settled or regular tendency or practice!! This may sound drab, n my reader may wonder what I am heading to, but I have a point to make, n I hope you bear up wid me The definitions above are not complete, what about mental dependence? I come to the crux of the matter now!! SMOKING: is it an addiction or a habit? its not supposed to make u mentally dependent...but then ppl do behave lyk they r aft some tym...lyk i need a cig to think, to relieve ma tension!!...
