NIRO FIDDLES . . .

The homosapien (the humankind) has arrogated to itself the exclusive ownership of mother Earth. And this species has systematically marauded the planet bringing utter devastation everywhere.

No tiger has ever chopped down a single tree. No elephant has ever taken out a single drop of water from underneath the ground. No animal has ever polluted the rivers so thoroughly, so extensively. No  animal has  devastated the mountains.No animal has ever exterminated other species. Man has been guilty of all these things and many more.

We are very good at preaching. We keep talking about the dangers of climate change, global warming and carbon emission but, at the same time, continue with the destruction of the subterrain and devastation of Nature. Vast stretches of the Earth  under our feet, that were once filled with clean water, oil, coal and many other minerals, are now  devoid of them. We have been systematically emptying the subterrain of petrol, coal and other minerals. You do not need a geologist to tell you the long term consequences of these yawning stretches of emptiness underground. The consequences are there for all to see.Lakes have dried up (one such lake is BADKHAL lake of Faridabad near Delhi) , mighty trees have dried up and died, vast stretches of green lands have turned into desolate desert, mountains
have been having massive landslides. What Nature built in many thousand years has been destroyed by man in a few decades.

Mountains are now disintegrating because of large scale
denudation caused by rampant and ruthless cutting down of trees.
Unheard of calamities keep striking because we have interfered with Nature. We have build massive dams blocking mighty rivers in the mountains and exposed these mountains to great risk. In a couple of hundred years, since industrialisation began, we have thoroughly poisoned our rivers and skies with deadly industrial waste products. No animal has ever done this in a billion years.

And then we, masqerading as the most intelligent species on planet earth, have international conferences on rising sea levels, melting glaciers, global warming, ozone layer gaps, and Climate Change. We have also invented carbon points to bully weaker nations !!

We keep deluding ourselves but the facts speak out for themselves. Once upon a time dinosaurs ruled this planet. They are extinct now. The homosapian
could be the next species to disappear. We have so thoroughly damaged Nature that it is striking back at us now with great wrath.

Our immune system is in total dissaray. It is collapsing because we are addicted to a medicinal system which goes against Nature. We keep creating and trying new
antibiotics. But it is clearly a losing battle. T.B. has again become incurable The microbes have conquered penicillin and other antibiotics. New diseases are appearing ! In time to come Microbes can annihilate Man because of man's own folly.

The universe has an unwritten code and
that is this : "do not tamper with Nature". Man continues with the destruction of mother Nature. We even have the audacity to change the Nature's genetic codes inside our own plants and animals, in our food !!.

There is an ancient Indian saying : "Vinash kale
vipareet buddhi".? That is, when the end is near
good senses desert us. This is happenning now.Alarm bells have been
ringing for quite sometime. The 'NIRO' of this planet keeps fiddling while mother Earth burns !!
