Choices.......

You have two choices.......... one is to buy vegetables from a Big super market,air conditioned,where vegetables(dazzling :)),which are fresh(prolly :)) are available at a low cost.
And the second one to buy vegetables from a small vendor.
What would you choose..............
Obviously many of us will choose to buy from the big people.......isn't it so.
It may be by Pre-conditioning or may be that the prices are low..........
This is not only the case with buying vegetables......... every proposal in life has choices,the way we perceive these choices,make us decide the good one.
Many of us won't even think why these super markets are selling these at such a low cost.
Not only this there are many reasons which we need to think of before taking a choice.You may ask me does buying vegetables is a big deal.........It may not be,but it will be big deal when you think of it.
When it comes to me i would analyse the following( of course after dicussion),
1.Source.
2.quality.
3.environmental impact.
4. social impact.
5.Price.
For different choices there would be different parameters,need to be considered...........think before you take choice,it is upto you how you make your life....

Globalisation of inequality

Review of a talk by P. Sainath....
hmm..... when i came to know that i'm gonna watch a video in hv class i felt excited(though its not a movie :) ) as if i gonna watch some interesting facts around me especially about the inequalities among the people.
The speech is going on about the rapid rise of sensex in five countries(victims of tsunami) after the tsunami disaster.........i was wondering why....and later came to know that sensex is not only a representation of financial status of a country but also the mortality rate.......seems weird .I felt like disgusting after listening to that,as i felt that i'm in a world where money has got its hand over life.
Then the most striking aspect is the water problem(to be frank the inevitable problem).I was totally moved when Sainath sir said that once he had been to Rayalaseema in Andhra pradesh where you could hardly find water resources.when he asked a farmer for a glass of water he was given a glass of water which is almost brownish.He then came to know that the soft drink companies around that area are sucking the water from the earth like leeches......Then he decided to not to take his favorite soft drinks from that day....
And the thing which took me to the peaks of my temper is the story of Nero,who burnt his prisoners for the sake of lighting to a party.
He stressed that about 80000 huts are destroyed in Mumbai which is not even published in newspapers.But if a beautiful man's(celebrity or politician) dog has got ill,it will be the breaking news.
Is this what we call equality......
