We Are Infinite.

I don’t  remember when was the last time I blogged , wait I do it was back in 1st week on March 2016 :P. Its not that I didn’t came across anything that really interested me  rather I would say there was number of times  I came across such and wanted to pen them down.Yes I had  very hectic weeks in the last couple of months and so,I burned my ass for 13-14 hrs a a day even on weekends  but taking it as a excuse for something you always wanted to do is purely lame. I see people(Nope, I am not  Cole Sear) who after  a hard,hectic day still manages to do things that they like.I really do take inspiration from them but  just like the morning mist that fades away  when the sun comes up,I had a similar kind off story.
Bohut hogayi  Dukh bhari Dastaan(Enough of my melodrama,Yes I need to translate it as Google says most of my readers are from US :D) .Now on a serious note the following blog post was planned for Earth Day but was not able to post it on time but better  late than never.The start it off here’s s a transcript of the speech  Leonardo DiCaprio  gave while accepting the Acamedy Award for Best Actor 2016,to quote him:
” Climate change is real, it is happening right now. It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species, and we need to work collectively together and stop procrastinating. Let us not take this planet for granted.”
An active environmentalist and UN messenger of peace,over the two years  Dicaprio made an exceptional journey all round the world studying the nature of Global warming.Though unlike Dicaprio people like us who are limted to only our  own small world  are unware of the impact Global warming is having on our life.Who cares whether the Glaciers of Artic are dissappering  way more before the prediction or the Farmers of India are commiting suicide due to drought,unless and until its someone or something very related or dear to us,who cares?.But the day seems no far when the entire human race will come to know what they are up against.
   


An article on New York Times says 2015 was the hottest year on earth so far. Just as 2015 made way for 2016, we have another article from Washington Post that says February 2016 was the hottest month for entire Earth! If this can’t make anyone belive the Global Warning is for real ask me aor any other fellow banaglorean about it.On 24th April,2016, the Karnataka capital - renowned for its ability to keep cool (dubbed as India’s 365 days Hill Station)  touched 39.2 degrees. That made it the hottest day ever for the city since records began to be kept in 1867.That’s not all my friend and this sudden rise in the tempearture is not just something,its was always on the card with a lot more to come. A tool compiled by New York Times shows that temperature in Bengaluru this year was 0.9 degree C warmer than the average normal. Average for Bengaluru is 24.7 degrees, while the tool shows an average of 25.6 degree Celsius. If it is the case for every year from now onwards only one can imagine what will be bangalore in the next 10 years and so.
Adressing the problem of Global Warming learders from around 195 countries came together in Paris and  on 22nd April 2016(Earth Day) the Historic Paris Agreement was signed. The head of the meet which was caleed as  Paris Conference, France's foreign minister Laurent Fabius, said this "ambitious and balanced" plan is a "historic turning point" in the goal of reducing global warming. For those who are not aware of the pact we can read about it her Paris Agreement.

The temperature rise in Banglaore is one of the many problems the earth is facing reagarding Global warning but we are not concern with all of them because we are not affected with them.We must all unite togrether in the fight againts Global warning and play a part no matter how insignifacant it may sound to us but on a large every small steps matters.

To start off I would like to mention that I was tagged by the lovely lady Maggie to write this post(which rarely happens though) and be it by her order :D "LET IT RIP."



 

Q: Why do you blog?

A: Partly to make Butterflies and Wheels more frequently updated and more interactive (as well as that bit more interesting, I hope), but also because I think the world desperately needs to hear my opinions, and I like to oblige.” 



Blogging and me goes long way back, it took off when I was in middle school and was slowly getting exposed to the blogging culture. Firstly, I wanna really make it clear that time I had no interested in writing or anything else that I can blog about but the very idea of  having a blog thrived me from very long. Back then the only known blogging platform(or at least to me ) was Blogger and with great enthusiasm I started my own blog. The time when it was hard to go with a particular email-id maintaining a blog was a big deal and there was my blog somewhere down begging me to update it regularly. The relationship between me and my blog (rather say blogs :D) was ON-OFF for several years and it was only in my second year of Engineering that it was completely into me. There is a mockery that In India you come an engineer first and then figure what to do with your life, it was no different for me (but I was not an Engineer fully) as I discovered my inclination towards writing. I rejuvenated my interest in blog again and started with Blog.com(which I guess no longer exist) at first It look good and I published couple of article at first. After some more blog post I felt that I was missing on something and then decided to migrate to Blogger again :P. I started with RANDOM VARIABLE: To Infinity and Beyond(not copied from Buzz Lightyear though) and ever since it has been a pleasant journey with some up and down.

Over the years I had the opportunity to read different blogs and meet some great bloggers from all around India. Meeting them has been a pleasant learning experience, as everyone had something more and less to offer. Now since I have been blogging for some time I think its time to take the blog to some other level. In doing so I have chalked out some points that I need to work on and couple of them are listed below:
1.I have been lethargic for most of the time and as result something the blog goes not being updated for over a month and so.Its time to update the blog more frequently, say 4-5 post a month.
2.I had been writing some post but they had been not that up to the mark as they had been way off-topic and less appealing to the masses. So its time to post some more trending and quality stuff along with the usual stuff.
3.Recently I had been getting some reads and comments over my posts and its time to be more interactive with the readers be it with post or by following them with their comments.

I know there are far more accomplished blogger and for some taking their blog to the next level would be spreading their wings across internationally. For me its now single step at a time and my priorities are the one mentioned above and accomplishing them in a 6 month time will be like one level up.

Lastly for I would urge everyone to try out blogging at least once as it not only confined to writing and a lot can be done with it,
                            
                             "With a story to tell, everyone is a Storyteller"


Keeping up with the trend, I now tag Srijal to write his take on the topic.




I want to take my blog to the next level with Blogchatter.

Its always good when we meet someone who shares the same interest and zeal in doing something that you like.Definitely it gives one a great pleasure knowing that he is not the only one out there and there are people with whom he can relate to.Moreover meeting such person helps in one thing or other,it makes one's pursuit in his/her interest rather more defining.My interest rather I would say relationship with books as just like any boyfriend-girlfriend type(of course I am the man in it :D) with two different switching mode ON-OFF. 

It all started in primary school when we used to have Adventures of Tom Sawyer,David Copperfield foe our English reader. By the time I was in middle school I was all into the stuffs like Hardy Boys,Goosebumps and Famous five.I tried reading Harry Potter,Eragon but was always used get lost in the pages and what was back to usual reads.Though I visited all the Book fair that came to my city with my parents(Till date I do ) I used to get only the Quiz and Current Affairs book.It was only in High school when I was truly exposed to the world of literature.Seeing my fellow read stuff like LOTR,The Godfather,Dan Brown was something I was never used to and called it my envy(In an good sense though) I was all pumped up to move to the next level.It started off with Man Booker Prize winner Arvind Adiga's The White Tiger with no hard copy I gave it a read over my classic Sony Ericsson.It was different from all that I have read before and it was start of never ending journey(with some halt,of course). Da Vinci Code,Angel and Demons,Deception point,Great Gatsby all in a flow.Yes I forgot to mention the Likes of Chetan Bhagat and Durjoy Dutta that made me realize what I was missing on with their out of the world typical Bollywood novels(I did enjoy reading Five point Someone and 2 states though). Till that time Indian authors for me were only limited to CB,DD and Ravinder Singh until one of my gave me a copy of Calcutta Chromosome By Amitav Ghosh and it was my first dive into World of Indian Literature.

Goodreads,a social network for book lover was not that alien to me but it was never appealing until 2014.While I was scrolling the site I stumble upon the the Goodreads Book Challenge 2014 and I kinda love the concept where one can set the number of books he/she will read for that year and constantly monitoring and updating their status.I was late in 2014 so I decided to take up the challenge in 2015 and being true to my commitments I did took up the challenge and did set a target of 12 books. At first, 12 book a year i.e. 1 book a month did not seemed that hard as now I was into reading on regularly.Slowly it became tough to cope up with it and by September,I was six book behind schedule.My friend Animesh who himself took up the challenge  kept on pushing me to complete the challenge and it  helped me to some extent and finally on 30th December I completed my 12th book,The Old man and the Sea.This year too I am up with the Challenge and set a goal of 12 books for me and as of now it seems to be going very smooth. 

Lately I realized that Books are an escape to the world we always wanted to be in.They make one transform into a better being and has lots to teach to everyone.Every time a get some spare time.I look out for a bookstore and head towards it.All I want to do is being surrounded by books every time and it gives me some kind a satisfaction
and peace.

I would end up quoting Ernest Hemingway “There is no friend as loyal as a book” and I could not agree much on it.For all who are missing out on this friend its never late to start up.
