A plastic road is coming up in Kozhikode city, Kerala.

It will be build with the support of National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (Natpac) and it is going to be the first plastic road in our state,Kerala.

If the demonstration project of Natpac become a success :

- It would be a major step in protecting our environment and preserving fossil fuel.Dangerous plastic material which would degrade earth, if not scientifically disposed, can be productively used with the help of Plastic road technology.

- It is durable compared to our conventional roads.So frequency of road repair will be reduced and maintenance charge can  be reduced.Experts claim that plastic roads will be stronger than normals road and have more resistance to heavy showers.

Will anyone say NO to Plastic roads?

The only disadvantage which I can find out now is the cost of construction of plastic road is very high compared to normal road.But I guess, as its benefits are even higher no one will say NO to this technology.

Doubts :

Hope all the tests are done by experts to avoid the danger of emission of poisonous gas and all which may occur when plastic is processed. According to what they said in news, waste plastic material is shredded and is mixed with bitumin.So we can hope it is completely environment friendly.

Again, I wonder whether in Western countries they use plastic roads or not.If not, they give a lot of importance to “Go Green” and is it because of their lack of knowledge in this technology or  have they smelled something dangerous in it which restrain them from using it?Someone can help me on this.

Take some time to read Go Green and act it fast..With that note let me say bye for now..

P.S: Other cities in India have tried this plastic road before and it has proved to be strong to withstand the onslaught of many monsoons.

The first news which my parents showed me when I reached home today morning was “Two software engineers committed suicide due to the fear of getting pink slip“.They took that wrong decision because they feared that they will be victims of next lay off.Both of them are educated persons and married, and I wonder how they could do it.I was thinking about them for a long time and I conclude that the root cause for their suicide is money.

Even in the early caveman days there was no money and there were no software engineering.Still people survived.They had families..they had food,clothing and shelter.They never thought of suicide.

I wonder from when onwards we became slaves of money?

Why people allow that evil thing to spoil our happiness??

Why people allow money to kill themselves??

When did money come to be more important than our life??

What those educated engineers did?

They feared if their job is lost then the source of regular income will come to an end.Then they will not be able to look after their wife and children.These thoughts put an end to their hope.They couldn’t bear that pain and decided to suicide.

What should we do??

First and foremost thing is that we should not follow their(coward’s) path.Have trust in hope.Don’t let it go.Don’t be a fool to think that suicide is the only option you have now. If you lose your job you will get another job.May be you will not be able to earn as much as you did but you can earn how much you need to look after your family.You will have hard times..but only for a short time.For every down there will be a rise and you will find a better way soon..

What you gain by saying NO to suicide??

When you feel better you will find many wonderful experiences - you can laugh your heart out,you can love,you can hear music,you can play your favourite games,you can play with your children,you can help them to be the best human being and you can be an ideal father,you can have good times with your family.You will miss all these things and a lot more if you are not in this earth.

A person who has gone through bitter experiences can enjoy life more than a person who doesn’t know what is hard time.Just live your life as it comes.When you overcome those hard times you will be the happiest person and all those who love you will be happy for you.So give yourself a chance!!

What to do when you feel suicidal?

DON’T DO IT NOW.

Just one thing I have to tell you is “The decision which you take out of emotions will always be wrong.So don’t let your emotions to take the decision for you.You, brave man..just decide that you will overcome this temporary problem and you will not follow the path of cowards!!”

Remember that this tough time is not a permanent condition.With time it will change and you will feel better.

As John N Mitchell told “Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us”

I love you…You love your life..

Asha..

Lucky are those who have got grand parents

Fools are those who don’t know how lucky they are !!
