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.

how is it to be in a battle...

how is it to be in a 'battle' January 7th 1959, Large throngs of people gather to cheer the victory march of Fidel and Che on the 'streets' of Havana , capital of Cuba commemorating the victory of their great "REVOLUTION".. the same day after 50 years..the 53000 employees of a numero 4 SW Giant of India shocked from the "REVELATION" of their ex-boss about the balance sheet.. the 'streets' of BSE and the NSE seemed so narrow for the investors...with questions against India Inc's survival of the fittest.. the two events making different effects though... One against a capitalist regime which paved way for the success of socialism and the other a clear struggle of an one man army against growing globalization pressures the 'truth' ....yet to be unfolded.... How does it feel as an employee of the great organization,which was on the media months ago for its excellence in service and governance and now bei...
