Welcome back!

After a busy night of giving away gmail invites (i had 6!!!), my not so commonly written piece of writing on the net is back.

Started with a wish to be a regular blogger, I jus find it tuff getting time for blogging. Hats off to all those regulars.

After Ambica Soni, Maneka Gandhi could be regarded as my second bete noire. But loved a cloumn by her in the recent Outlook where she said the use of earthern ware as chai cups(on Lallo Railways) in trains is a dumb idea. Long back my dad had told me this fact, but did not read more on that anywhere.

Her argument is that earthen ware are non biodegradable and how else can we find Harapan pots even today intact, had they been otherwise. Good logic. Once smelted in kiln , clay loses its bio degradability.

So what is gonna happen to the shards of tea cups from railways. They can’t be recycled, then what???. Reusing(if not broken) is unhygenic , I guess.

Probably , eons later students of history would find out that a mode of travel called Rail existed and Earthen Tea Cups were used.

Finally, Plastics are better. Atleast they can be recycled to make non food grade plastic goods.

Actually, coconut shells would be a better choice in that sense, since those are completely bio-degradable.
