I recently read that upcycling is the new recycling. Instead of crushing up and using waste products in a different form altogether, upcycling is basically reinventing a waste product and giving it a whole new purpose as well as value. I think  I might have two examples of this at my place.     #1 - I upcycled Cereal and Cerelac boxes into CD holders. It helps me keep CDs organized and easy to pick from. I could've have used waste paper to label them but I'm saving that task for a later date.   #2 - We had a waste top cover of a flush tank. Thought of making it into a plant holder. Successfully grew some plants in it and it looked good for a few days. I'm looking for plants that could grow in such short depths, that would definitely make this work better.  

The one thing that my fellow nation dwellers are ready to give away promptly, the one thing they are ready to gift to any random stranger, the one thing they don't mind parting away with for FREE -  is that friendly neighbourhood plastic bag. They seem to commit this act of charity or what they think is an act of supreme courtesy with so much pride that it puts me to shame (for not wanting one of those plastic bags). I call them neighbourhood plastic bags because that's where I find them, in every bit of space in my neighbourhood. Littering the sides of otherwise decent looking streets, road corners; loitering around every household dustbin; carelessly strewn in apartment corridors, parks, play areas, parking lots and pretty much anywhere my eyes reach. I think I see them more than I see people. Or have I just begun to notice these plastic beings more than human beings? Yes, I have begun to HATE the sight of these. There seems to be no end in sight for the production and ...

Sometimes I listen to your eyes that narrate vividly the depths of your love for me. Sometimes I breathe in and out of ecstasy until I feel you inside of me. Sometimes I wait for time to pass by and let us be. Sometimes I giggle merrily just to watch you watch me. Sometimes I cry to see if tears still come to me? Sometimes, I question if good times will always be? and then regret my doubts over thee. Sometimes, I wonder what it would be like, to not have you beside me? That's when I know what your love means to me.

Don't you treat me like a convenience store. We are friends no more. Now that you are far as you wish I want to say good bye to you bitch.  I put that in because it rhymes, but i chuckle at the splendid coincidence!  I feel sad from within that you did this to me. We were friends before but not any more.  

I know most of us have given this a thought - How can I contribute to a greener planet given that I don't want to take too much trouble doing so. If you haven't yet given this a thought then maybe this is a good time to do so. I have at least 5 really simple things you can do and feel much greener about yourself. It is not going to be too hard but it might need you to be more thoughtful and might need some practice as well! 1) Carry your luggage in your own bag! In other words, avoid plastic bags. This is probably not the first time you are reading that. But the fact is this one act can save us much. It you are already taking your own bags to supermarkets, then you have made a start. Just remember to avoid plastic bags in any form and at any place. Read, make note and practice: a) As far as possible avoid unplanned shopping trips b) Keep a bag handy in your purse and vehicles c) Carry enough number of bags.. just in case! d) Try being an extreme - avoid accepting...

Just let it come back to me naturally. I think it has, after three years and a baby.
