Wake-up Call

A person is in a dreamy night sleeping with the utmost pleasure having no tension of workload,no phone calls,no Boss (for students,obviously no torturous Faculty at all) feels like the king of the world.But as soon as a wake- up call iƩ the alarm rings all dreams shattered at once. Again the person find himself in lot of trouble.
Similarly INDIA is sleeping in a dreamy night. We are dreaming to become a super-power in the near future with a good economic condition ahead. But how can we forget that we may become the super-power and turn into a developed country in quick time ignoring the climate change but it will cost dearer to us. This is not the case of India but of many countries who want to develop their infrastructure and their economy at the cost of pollution and global environment change .We must not forget that this is our world and if once it will get disturbed ,there will be no meaning of these industrial development. The same apply for the developed countries like US , UK and Japan. They must not only contribute to control the high carbon emission but should also help the other countries with their technological advancements in reducing the carbon concentration in atmosphere below 350 ppm.There are lot of hue and cry on US climate Bill. The bill seeks to impose a carbon tax on the goods imported from developed countries. But before restricting the other countries, US should made credible commitment towards reducing the carbon emission per capita. In fact, India's emission per capita is quite less as compared to any other developed country.It nevertheless meant that India should be allowed to increase the emission but such restriction could palalyse its growth. It would be obviously beneficial for the world if the big countries like India will become developed . Such a country can help a lot in fighting with the global problems like of Energy,Cliate change,Pollution,Terrorism and more and more. To sustain their growth is nevertheless a good idea neither for India nor for the world.
In the mean time India should also takes measures to reduce the emission by getting the subsidised technology from developed country and leapfrog to cleaner development process. The pollution free Energy sources like Solar Energy should be harassed and used. The initiative should be taken towards efficient energy consumption. The problem of drinking water ,which is going to take a toll in the near future should be handled carefully. We should move towards an efficient world not a developed world.
So a wake-up call is ringing ,we should take care of it and forget about the dreamy night. It is the time to work hard and make the dream come true. So,wake up and make us for the world not the world for us....
