AWAKE! oh human ! ARISE ! earth will survive  without us !                                 It is easy to discard and to destroy ;but it takes a great deal of creativity to recreate ; our planet today needs children who can conserve and recreate from our available resources ; this generation needs to reinvent themselves ; to lead a sustainable life is not a status symbol anymore ; tsunamis , earthquakes and cloudbursts are nature’s warning to the human race – yes , we humans are the last species in evolution of life on earth ; In just one century, we have destroyed and are destroying our ancestors ( the microbes , insects , trees …. who have evolved and perfected themselves over millions of years…)AWAKE! oh human !

Moving to a “thoughtless” state is the ultimate happiness; children reach that state naturally, when they are engaged in play; but sadly today, technology is upsetting their serenity.              ...
