Hey readers, did you know that listening to the radio can be educative as well?? I was surprised to learn that today, December 2, is National Pollution Prevention Day in India! Quite a nice fact, huh?? Look at the irony of it -- for the several millions of officegoers in Mumbai, the pollution on the roads have gone up several notches ever since the Mumbai metro project came up! And with elections round the corner, several roads have been dug up in a bid to repair them and win a fwe votes.
While in the long run, the citizens should benefit from these activities, I wonder how many of us will survive to see that day -- what with terrorists striking at will and the pollution threatening to choke you! Did you read about the new type of smog -- the brown haze thing? Read this Livemint article here for more on what it is all about! Quite terrifying the things that we need to live with these days! Life sure is a struggle!
