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...
Our Claim on a pristine Yamuna
यमुना सिर्फ एक नदी ही नहीं है। इसके अंदर एक संस्कृति बसी है। यमुना की मौत एक युग की मौत होगी। ऐसे में यमुना नदी को बचाने के एक बड़े प्रयास की जरूरत है। इसमें आम आदमी खास तौर पर वह लोग जो सीधे सीधे यमुना से जुड़े है कि सक्रिय भागीदारी जरूरी है। क्योंकि खत्म होती नदी का खतरा वे सबसे पहले महसूस कर रहे हैं। ऐसा नहीं है सरकार इस बारे में चिंतित नहीं है। सरकारी स्तर पर प्रयास हो रहे हैं। लेकिन कुछ कमी है । जापान बैंक की सहायत से यमुना एक्शन प्लान बनाया गया। करीब 12 हजार करोड़ रूपए इस अभियान पर खर्च हुए। 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.

How Energy loss in our buildings is hurting the planet
Human habitat design is largely driven by the kind of climate it is in. On the other hand if design fails to adjust to the climate the price that one pays is heavy, much heavier towards the Operation side. 80-90% of the lifecycle cost of the buildings get consumed in running them.
