The Earth! It is the very base of our existence. What we eat, grows there. What we drink, the earth holds in its arms. That is to say, be it food or be it water, the earth donates them to us.
In addition to these primal gifts, the earth has been paying the cost of man's modernity. Be it most of the metals or the petrol, the earth has been dug by the ever greedy humans, hardly worth being so called!
Yes, in its excessive greed which has surpassed any needs, mankind has wounded the earth the most. To make the 'giddy in its greed' mankind aware, days such as the 'earth day' become the need of the hour!
Mankind may thus be reminded that the earth is not its sole property. The Earth is the 'equity' mankind must share with the flora and the fauna. In the annihilation of the earth, mankind is literally digging its own grave! Long live the earth so that mankind may lead an enlightened life! The UN deserves everybody's huge thanks for this annual awareness, at least for a day!
Pratima@ Just as the earth has everything to be aware of at least for a day, readers must be sensitised to April 23 as a day of remembrance for Miguel Cervantès, the progenitor of the greatest Don ever, Don Quixote!
Quote of the day: Every day has to be the Earth Day! We must treat and respect the earth that way! Glory be to the earth, the very base of our existence!
Word of the day: terrestrial The adjective terrestrial means related to the earth.
P.S.: My brother, Pinaki alias Sanju, is in a big way in to the green cause, plantation, seed collection, et al. He has donated in Aai's name a park dedicated to herbal plants for an Ayurvedic college.
