गंगा सहित कई नदियों ने अपनी चाल क्या बदली उत्तर भारत को इसका कुछ उत्तर ही नहीं मिल पा रहा. सबसे अधिक उत्तर प्रदेश, मध्यप्रदेश और बिहार के कई इलाक़ों में लोग बाढ़ से बेहाल हैं. गंगा, यमुना, राप्ती, केन, घाघरा, गंडक, कोसी, कर्मनाशा आदि अपने रौद्र रुप में है. नदियों ने प्रदेश के कई जिलों में कोहराम मचा रखा है. उत्तर प्रदेश और मध्य प्रदेश के 15 से ज्यादा ज़िले बाढ़ से प्रभावित हैं तो अकेले बिहार के 38 में से 12 जिले पानी में डूबे हुए है और यह संख्या आगे बढ़ भी जाये तो कोई हैरानी की बात नहीं होगी. अब Read more...

Swachh Bharat (Clean India) and Swachh Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh)- How To Avert Dengue chikungunya and Serial Epidemic

LUCKNOW : While most of the efforts and focus of swachh bharat (Clean India) is on public behavioral change, which is effective to some extent, but is very subjective. Cleaner countries do have certain human behavior to attribute their cleanliness to, but majority is about right processes embedded into the system, which inculcate these values into citizens.Starting with changing human behavior without building the right systems in place would fail, as its visible in Lucknow's Swachh Sarvekshan.H Read more...

River Ganges to Gomti Link - Haider Canal Why It Is Still Relevant

Ghazi-ud-din Haider canal is a redundant canal that runs through the heart of the city, once built to facilitate nearby areas with water.  Haider canal was built by Ghazi-ud-din Haider Ali between 1814-1827.

Single Screen Movie Theaters saying The End- A Research

Running and playing in the aisles of the theatre Novelty Aliganj’s (then Vivek, Rajshri for some time) balcony with few friends and watching the song ‘Didi Tera Dewar Deewana’, is still fresh in my mind. ‘Hum apke hain kon’ would possibly be my first movie out of umpteen seen in theaters, at least from the point I can I recall from the hazy memories. Other memories would be of watching 'Bade Miyaan Chote Miyan', 'Gadar', 'Lagaan' and many more. Long queues in front of on Friday big releases, typ Read more...

बारिश से जलमग्न हुआ दिल्ली, जलभराव का कारण ड्रेनेज सिस्टम की अनदेखी

एक मशहूर कहावत है ‘बोए पेड़ बबूल के तो आम कहां से होए’. हम सब में से अधिकांश ने देश को विकाशील से विकसित बनने का स्वपनीला ख़्वाब देखा होगा. हर स्वतंत्रता दिवस और गणतंत्र दिवस पर सीना चौड़ा कर भारतीय होने पर गौरवांवित होते होंगे. मगर अचानक एक जरा सी बारिश हमारे सारे भ्रम को तोड़ देती है. सारे ख़्वाब घंटों जाम में फंसने के बाद हकीकत में निकलकर बह जाते हैं. विडंबना देखिये जिस दौड़ती-भागती जिंदगी में लोगों के पास सुबह का नाश्ता करने का वक्त तक नहीं होता, सुबह-सुबह घर से निकल कर देर रात घर वापसी होती हो व Read more...

Toll Road Systems in India, Can Electronic Toll collection with #giveitup fix it

Tales of daily or long weekend travel and wait time on the  expensive(Rs. 50-300 ) Tolls of Indian roads are well known and are from first hand experience. At the onset before readers think its a "Toll Hatao" rhetoric, we acknowledge the need  to fund our infrastructure and keep building high quality roads. Roads also need some kind of access control and way to quantify and plan around the traffic. Our taxation systems are stretched to limit, population is huge so are the vehicles on the roads.

Smart Cities or Smart, Efficient and Sustainable Urban Scapes - Comparative Analysis
