Recycling

The first piece of paper as we know it was produced from rags in AD 105 by Tsai Luin, who was part of the Eastern Han Court of the Chinese
Emperor Ho Ti

Paper is required and used for anything and everything one can think of. With hundreds of final uses, paper satisfies many important human needs. In fact, it is an integral part of everyday life. The technological advance with computers and photocopiers has increased the consumption and wastage of paper. it is said that Indian consumption of paper is five kilograms per capita, with an expected growth rate of 6-7% per annum over the next five years.
By using paper carelessly, we contribute to the depleting forest cover, drastic climate change and water pollution.
For every ton of paper, the paper industry guzzles up 2.8 tons of dry timber and 24,000 gallons of water, besides electricity and other resources.
Pulp and paper industry is a major contributor in terms of air and water pollution.
Recycling of paper not only saves trees and minimises pollution, but also reduces the waste problem by utilizing waste material like used paper, cotton rags and unwanted biomass.

Papers could be recycled in many creative ways…

For instance consider the boy in the video below… (Just Kiddin)
on a second thought not a bad idea either…

One woman added seeds to her paper, and made cards, which she stamped with ink for different occasions. Once the card is read, it could be planted. The instructions for this was included on the card. So now you solve two problems, what to do with the now unwanted paper, and filling up our landfills with more trash.

Oh wait, maybe you end-up solving three problems…you just saved another tree.So its never too late to start recycling,please do recycle your paper wastes…

The Woman in your life

Someday you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; who is earning almost as much as you do.

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are.

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements.

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life.

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name.

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen.

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than  you.

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities.

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met.

One who gives up her career, ambition, aspiration when she realizes that she is required more at home to attend the needs of her family.

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important, relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her sometime and trust her.

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this…..

Please appreciate “HER”, I hope you will…
