Dead animal Removal in Pune?

Today morning around 830am I saw a dead horse near my area. As I dont have any number I tried to reach few of the people I know so that they could call the relevant people. But at around 930 I happened to go on the same street and found the dead horse still there and people just drive around it. So came home and got the corporation number from my neighbour, called them and they gave me a number 9689931704. I tried the number they said it was only for small animals I have to call another number 9623600820. I dont even know what was he saying but this I could understand clearly from what he said that he has nothing to do with dead animal removal. Again I called the number given under dead animal removal in www.puneinside.com. They gave me another number as it wont come under their juridiction, 8237718276. By the time I was tired and hungry and gave up..Some one would've called by the time hopefully and it mightve removed.

Do you ever had this kind of experience? Is there just one number I could call they will do the needful? I got blue cross number in Pune, hope it might work in future. 020 - 65266491

I used to see dead dogs, cats, dead cow in the hiking path....whom to call who will take action? If anyone know about it do please leave a comment. Thanks in advance.

And also sometime there will be street lights on till 11oclock in the morning, if you know the number do let me know..Am I sounding like Shankar's Anniyan? ewww I am not I am also like the million dont care indians. But at times my conscience makes and asks me to do few things.

Love makes things run in its pace?

Today morning I wanted to see some songs, whatever channel it is, whether Hindi or Tamil its all filled with duets in different forms either in happy mood or in a sad mood. Love between two grown ups or the affection towards your little one, parents, siblings etc is what makes the world go in its pace. Is it not? That is what makes the humanbeings life lively. That is what make us lead a meaningful life. What if there is no love or affection, and we have to work, earn, eat, entertain. Will that be fun? There wont be any purpose to being alive or is there? Atleast one should have a single soul who could reciprocate their love otherwise do you think life would be interesting?

Till few months before I was part of the crowd who says haa these directors they just give more and more romantic movies. DDLJ, Taal (Dont fall in love rise in love), You've got mail, Alaipayuthe and many more in the list are taken in different forms again and again. There is more crisis in the real world than falling and failing in love. Whether we like it or not, there is next gen ready to fall in love. And yes these movies are for them. Love, affection is what runs each and every soul to do things till the end of their life. Otherwise what drives a father to earn and take care of the family, or a youngster to go around the girl/guy thinking that is the more important work than anything else.

20-30 is the time to focus and achieve and fall in love, for some everything happens so easily or seems like it.
i feel its just a proximity effect, most of the people who fell in love might be working together or worked together, studied together or studying together, lived in the same area or living in the same area etc. Its very rare to fall in love with an unknown person who is far off  and doesnot even know him/her in person, may be in this computer era that might be possible. Love makes the world go around :)

But I could understand why Baba made a place in people's life, his wordings are so simple and true to the core ----> Love all Serve all!

Indian way of eating!

This is something we always use to discuss at home. We cook for hours together and finish it in 10-15min max? But my friends who are in SG and in USA say people there cook for 10 min (sandwich, salads etc) and eat for an hour. Same way when we go for hiking I used to take lemon rice, curd rice or veg briyani...If it is a chill weather would long and love to have hot samosa, chai, onion pakoda and the purpose of doing hiking will get compromised there ;) We live for food and we love food so much and end up doing 3 times a day cooking fresh food. True or false? Today when I saw this image through my cousin in FB it just crossed my mind and I am sure many could relate to it :)



And few of us use knife and fork to eat dosa even Indians. I used to wonder how could they do this to Dosa. They are killing the true essence the enjoyment of eating Dosa with hand :p.

5 things to do from Home

Tiny Ideas to kill time:

1. Teaching basic computer skills to old people, maids, housewives, thirunangaigal (third gender) and to your loved ones for a fee? (Am I doing it, should never ask I hate that question btw)

2. Creating theme based story books for kids, with the collection of best indian authors and foreign authors, there are loads of websites to give a heads up on the books collection for a particular age. For example goodreads.com, wccls.org, storytimeathome.blogspot.in etc, or simply type "books for so and so age" you will get n number of websites to select books.

3. Story time for kids, 2 and 3 is important in India as the public library is scarce and kids are intelligent and curious to the core :)  For the option 2 and 3 once it is created find your targeted audience, moms and dads ofcourse are the first choice, and then schools. Any other you could think of? add it in the comment might be useful to someone. Already littlereadersnook and my little chatter box is doing a good job on the same. If you want to be their competitor provide the best than them..Quality matters right?

4. Making paper bags out of newspaper and selling it for a fee to medical shops, book shops and for return gifts or teaching kids/women/men who are begging on the street these kind of few craft works will help them lead an independent life. And this would be another way to reduce plastic usage.

5. If you know how to stitch, making cloth bags and distribute it in grocery and veg shops for a fee will again reduce plastic usage, if people forget to bring bags from home, they can buy these bags.

Any product from pencil to giant machines creating it with good quality will definitely reach the customer no matter what. I feel in India quality of product is poor for poor/middle class people. Upper/Rich has no problem, they could get the quality they want from anywhere around the world.

I missed the magnetic boards available in US and tried to make one and succeeded in doing it.

Instead of using/wasting white paper everyday,

One can make it in a cheaper way by just putting the slate (small version of blackboard :p) and stick it with cellotape. And you are set to write your grocery list, to do list etc with chalk. This is cheap and can be reused. Slate cost around Rs. 6 - 10/- Cellotape may be 5/-

Doodle pad can be fit with a magnet and can be used to do the same thing...I just reused the magnet from my fridge magnet. I am sure one could find magnet in normal shops.
