Humanity in danger!!!!!!

Isn't humanity in danger?? Yes. I am sure it is. Read across and you will find many researches and studies which says human beings may not stay long on the earth. The mercury is rising, the ice is melting, the sea is eating the land and one by one species are getting extinct. What are we, humans? Another species, who thought, are the masters of the universe.
Humanity is in danger. We ourselves are our enemies. To rephrase, we suicide. We are killing ourselves and the generations to come. Some generation of humans in the future will curse their past generations.
Future generation will curse us. For inventing automobiles which sent out gases which choked the earth and its atmosphere. For inventing refrigerators and air-conditioners. For cutting down trees. For constructing buildings all around. For inventing all the products that are killing the earth little by little.
I remember a poem I had written sometime back : Little by little
"Little by little you lose my love, my care, my concern.."
I would like to rephrase it:
"Little by little we killed ourselves"
Little by little we invented machines,
Little by little they poisoned the earth,
Little by little they killed the Earth, and
Little by little we killed ourselves.
All over the world there are movements to reduce carbon footprint, reduce greenhouse gases and campaigns to increase the greenary. Will this help? I dont think so. Why?
These does not help because if we want to save humanity from destruction, we would have to walk back. We would have to walk "the walk" back. The walk which we considered is the golden era of humanity. The walk in which we ruled and ruined the Earth. The walk in which we were proud that we invented the truth of the Nature. We never invented any truth. We only invented our own graves. And we dig it deeper and deeper so that we can bury the future generations too.
A generation will not recognize the effect of their doings in the human history as they live very less. 100 years may be. Changes on Earth should be taken into account with long term vision. Just gather data on how much change/increase has come to the temperature of your town in last 20 years, in last 40 years, 60 years, 100 years, 200 years. How much difference has come to the climate. How much changes has come to the vegetation.
I can see the facts in front of me. But what will I do. I will reduce the usage of vehicles, air conditioners, plant trees. But can I walk the walk back. NOOOOOO. I am stubborn. I am bound to the comforts of life that all this give me. I cant sweat a little for my great grand children. I cant. I am not worried for the generation to come. I dont care about what comes in future.
So, my dear fellow humans, let us realize this. We are just another species in the world which will extinct in the due course of time. Lets be ready to get extinct. Do not try too much. Do not be so stubborn to cling to the earth. We say, something happened in earth that Dinosaurs were wiped out of Earth. Some other species on Earth in a later age will say "Humans invented things that killed them in due course. They did a suicide."

Jeans!!!!!!

Jeans. Everybody loves it. Everybody wants to buy it. Everybody wants to wear it. The whites, the colored, the aged, the kids, all love jeans.

I got my first jeans when i was 10. It was bought for my cousin's wedding. It was some 20 years back and I just have a vague memory about it.

The second one was bought when I was 16, during my 10th class(1996), after a long fight with my parents as they considered it to be worn by hippies!!!!! RUF-N-TUF!!!! Yes. The famous brand endorsed by Akshay Kumar. The ready-to-stitch wear. I bought it from one of the shops and gave it for stitching. Whatever happened, happened bad. I wanted the five pocket style and the tailor stitched it like a normal pants and more - with pleets in front. I can remember friends making fun of me for wearing jeans pants!! I just remembered, there was a big reason for me going for a ready-to-stitch. Besides the fact that readymade ones were costly, I had this problem of having a narrow waistline. So not many readymade dresses fit me.

I was very upset for not having a jeans. So after so much of pleading, I got one more RUF-N-TUF. This time another color, light blue. I gave it to a different tailor. It was still not my time to wear a decent jeans. The tailor did follow the five pocket pattern but made such a mess of my jeans that the bum part was too large, too big. As if I had an extraordinarily huge bum. I had to adjust it by not tucking in the shirt or the T.

Another ready-to-stitch came during one of my birthdays from my uncle. This time luckily I got it properly stitched. And I remember using it till it was torn so much that it would have been a fashion now. It was not a fashion during late 90's. He hee..

Later I had many. By the time I was doing my PG course, I joined the 26 inches club which was the least size for branded jeans . I had a couple of them. But still the narrow waist problem haunted me.

I joined work and there I made some progress and managed to become 28 inches and remained for a long time. Around 4 years. And now.......

I got married. I grew. I grew more around my waist than anywhere else. No wonder people say I put on weight. I did, I agree. But now, I sit in a 30 inch jeans, bought 4 days back thinking how to get rid of this tight jeans. Whats your size? He hee...
