Chennai 2060 [சென்னை 2060]

மனித இனம் தொலைந்து போகாமலிருக்க ஒரு
தொலை நோக்கு பார்வை வேண்டும்..
அப்பார்வையின் விழிகளில் தொடங்கும் இந்த பயணம் தான்
'சென்னை 2060'[Chennai2060]

இது ஒரு முடிவல்ல... ஒரு ஆரம்பம்.....

As the twentieth century draws to a close, many scientists, business leaders, government officials, and citizen activists see handwriting on the global wall warning of impending ecological collapse. I have done my best to examine the validity of that view, working not as a scientist but as an investigative reporter, armed with an open mind, a restless curiosity, and the freedom to explore. I freely concede that the ambitious scope of my inquiry has made omissions inevitable. I could not examine every environmental hazard in the detail it deserves, anymore than I could visit every country I would have liked. Travel is like knowledge: the more you see, the more you know you haven''t seen. But I saw more of this planet''s people and places than I ever dreamed possible, and I am deeply grateful for the privilege. I only hope that this account of my journey illuminates enough of our environmental predicament to help light the way forward for the people who live it.

The transliteration of the starting lines... 'pages from the school memories rooted strong as the banyan' The banyan logo of the school perfectly suits the title of the post .Banyan represents eternal life because of its seemingly ever-expanding branches so as we are with lot of branches across the world by spreading the knowledge from those woods*. Lets board the time machine to take us back to the mid 80 s ,where most of the memories are still afresh . On the voyage there are l...

meaning of a smile....
