Africa's Water Scarcity

 It is very difficult to describe Africa's Water Scarcity problem coming from a privileged family here in Mumbai.



But I would still guage the scarcity problem from continents apart.There are development authorities in various countries of the African Union working for a sustainable solutions for the water scarcity problem.

Ghana working to increase borewells but that's not sustainable in the long run as there's a risk of water drying up.

Namibia working on a much bolder mission to convert sewage waters back to re-usables through recycling of the waters consumed.Its much more sustainable says experts.

African Union and many regions continue to face water scarcity problem on a mammoth scale.

But it is the ingenuity of people and authorities who are making the difference.

This is about Godi Media, the lap media as coined by none other than our great the Ravish Kumar, Magsaysay award winner, the legendary studio to gutters reporter. Actually speaking this is about the opposite of the lap media. Today I am going to talk about Ravish Kumar, the torch bearer of the so called truth. His truths are concoctions of the famous heckler, interruptions, distortions and pseudo secularism. When he is presented with facts , he starts heckling the guest. I prefer to call it the ' Desi Daaru ' media because they are always doping an agenda. Now this Sherry media claims to be on a higher ground while talking about the quality of media in India. Jyaa taatat khalla...tyaa taatatach ? This the the Marathi idiom I would like to quote for this media.

The dream was so real and happening with the breeze of winter. The puppy, I couldn't name because my dream was short and limited. His eyes was sparkling in the dawn of the morning and I spent endless hours just looking at him. I was recalling the music of the movie " Hatchiko " , the piano of anxiety about what is happening next in the movie. The movie has immense moments of painful scenes. I felt Hatchiko has entered my life.  Then suddenly I woke up to the sounds of staff Discount, winter special staff Discount and there was this face of the puppy with some sounds of the Christmas bells and there goes my dream off and on.
