"Tiger tiger burning bright in the forests of the night" wrote William Blake,
But time seems to be running out.
In these days of mega-cities,holiday resorts and commercial farming-Wild life conservation seems to have taken the back seat.With powerful commercial interests pitted against conservation efforts,the conservationists seem to be on the back foot.
Wish their were more people like Valmik thapar around.
We need to save our forests and their ecosystems to save the tigers.
It is a complex symbiotic web.We need to build a national people's environment movement like the chipko movement.Just preaching and cribbing will not do.
Wish something happens like in Michael Jackson's earth song.
All the uprooted forests and killed wildlife spring back to life with a prophet like Michael restoring them.Miss you Michael Jackson.
You were a visionary entertainer.

Bhopal Gas Tragedy-A Leviathan tragedy
The Bhopal gas tragedy has been in the news nowadays.
It has been one of the greatest industrial disasters ever to take place anywhere.
The tragedy has been compounded many times by the inaction and lack of proper settlement for the victims.
The fact that the victims got such a paltry sum for such a gigantic industrial disaster thrust at them by the callousness of a global MNC shows how far judicial activism has to go in our country.
The fact that the key player Warren Anderson was allowed to leave the country without making Dow chemicals pay its dues for the leviathan tragedy it thrust on the innocent Bhopal people is pitiable.
The case has been stretching on endlessly in courts without the hapless victims getting adequate relief and succor from the protagonists of the industrial disaster.
THIS RIGHTLY JUSTIFIES THE ADAGE-"TOO LATE IS BAD"-"JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED".

The Leader who had no title-Book Review- Verdict-Good
This is Robin Sharma,s latest book on personal development.
I have been a great fan of Robin Sharma one of the best author
of self development books.
The book is a fictionalized account of a Man in search of his destiny in life.
He meets a stranger who has known his father and agrees to mentor the protagonist.
He is introduced to four different people who show him how to lead life.
The four people are four extraordinary people who have accomplished much
even within rather dimunitive work profiles.
The four people lead the protagonist through their life and ultimately
make him discover four golden truths which would lead the protagonist
to discover the meaning of life and ultimately see through life's intricacies
in depth.
The book is a pretty good self development fable and ultimately delivers on its premise.It is a good one time read.
But the book seems to be based on utopian circumstances and utopian people
and hence sounds a bit ultra-glamourous.
Would want Robin to bring more down-to earth people characters in his
future works.
The world is in a great paucity of genuine leadership and hence this work is right on the dot.A world with more responsible people donning leadership mantles in the need of the day.
Anyways my final take would be -A great one-time read which makes readers evaluate their principles in life-Go for it.
