Get Involved | Greenpeace India

These are people sincerely trying to make a difference..we should all pitch in and support them and atleast volunteer; try to do our bit..
we all know how adverse the consequences of our 'i don't care' attitude can be..we know what's happening to our world, global warming or deforestation are all very much talked about these days. yes there are people who don't considering a large part is illiterate; but the underlying fact is that even those who do know, just simply don't care. why? i wish i could answer that question.
But we think it's too late, because whatever is meant to happen, will happen. we all know that this attitude can take us nowhere.
it's time we all started caring. Because we can make a difference together, that too is an undeniable fact, a fact most of us choose to ignore.

THE BOY WHO LIVED, LIVES ON

Life for me, without harry potter would be incomplete.
It may seem strange to some people when i say the books have been my faithful companions and a source of comfort for me, for the last 8 yrs of my life.
In the beginning it was probably just like any other book i was reading..but they soon grew to become books that i never got bored of reading, time and again..and adore reading it each time. the hogwart's world became my favourite world, and whenever i grew tired of the one i lived in, it would always welcome me in..when i was sick, or fighting with my mom, or just upset with the world, all i ever wanted to do was sit in a corner with a harry potter in my hand..and it would transfer me to a whole new place, a place i loved to be in, a place i felt happy, elated and comfortable in (ironically!), more than anything!
A world where there were brave, kind and wonderful characters..people who showed such incredible loyalty and courage..things that we can only hope to see in the real world, i guess.
The depth of each and every character that j.k created has always amazed me! So much so that, now that the series has ended, i feel like i know harry, hermione and ron in reality!
That's how close you get to the books and characters once you've read hp..it becomes part of your life, and nothing or no one can take that from you.
So let's not cry over the series ending, with the last movie realeasing tomorrow.. yes, there won't be any more of the frantically counting days for the movies or books to release and the crazy eager anticipation for the next one..but harry potter series will never really end within us.
Whenever we want to be at hogwarts or sit for a dark arts class rather than a chemistry lecture in school or college, all we have to do is open our book and enter!
The amount of people the series has reached out to is unbelievable..from kids to teenagers or adults alike have such a strong attachment to the books and the movies!
i think it is one series in which the movies have always lived up to the expectations of the books!
The series may be ending tomorrow..but one thing's for sure -- harry potter will never stop amazing me, and will never cease to be part of my life!

MUSICALLY SOUND!

This song has always inspired me. Definitely one of the greatest songs ever written!
Outlived generations!
Wish some of the artists today would put some thought into the lyrics of their songs..their music is brilliant, but the lyrics are meaningless.. The meaning of music to people changes through the generations..today it's something we listen to when we're bored or gymming or just for a good beat to dance to! No one cares about what the artist is singing, as long as they have something to tap their feet to!
artists earlier sang for so many reasons..sometimes a cause, to bring about a change..to express themselves, as tributes..
for example the beatles sang for peace..If we listen to the music of the previous generations even today, we can probably connect to it, something you can't do with the R&B and hip hop of today!
I'm not saying i don't like the music we hear today, some of them are absolutely brilliant! And who doesn't love a fun upbeat song to listen to?!
It's just that i can't help but wonder what lady gaga or katy perry or many others are trying to say through their songs!
