Mumbai: viral photo on instgram is making plastic ban cool!

This viral  picture on instagram of a woman standing on a bunk  of plastic with holding hands of photographer at Juhu beach, Mumbai shows the sad reality of what all that is wrong with our planet today 


Do you recall Murad Osmann and Natalia Zakharova, the Moscow-based couple who were Instagram’s most famous couple? Remember they came and conquered the world of social media through their #FollowMeTo series posting cute and incredible hand-in-hand photos as they traveled across the globe. Mumbai based photographer Ganesh Vanare and his friends Aishwarya Sharma, a medical student are recreating the famous pose but this time with a twist of its own. The two Mumbaikars were at Mumbai's popular hangout spot Juhu Beach a few days ago where the two saw huge piles of garbage littered all across the beach.
Saddened by the visual and taken aback the two decided to strike a pose in the Instagram famous #FollowMeToo style. The duo posted the pictures on their social networking site Instagram, The has gone viral and has received more than 46,559 likes and counting and has been widely shared on social media.
Mumbai generates roughly about 9,000 metric tonnes of garbage every day that ends up in the landfills and choking the nullahs and city's drainage system. Deonar which is one of the major landfills in the city is about 90-year-old and on the verge of collapsing. Another landfill which is situated at Mulund has been functional since 1968 and is also way past its lifespan. This means every year Mumbai paints the same sorry picture for its citizens during the monsoon season.
Ganesh Vanare the photographer who goes by the name of haram_khor_ on Instagram has also posted some splendid pictures of the ocean throwing off plastic waste at Marine drive and other beaches of Mumbai.
ust a few days ago during the high tides, the ocean threw tonnes of garbage on Marine Drive and every other beach in Mumbai. Who is to blame? Lack of awareness and indiscriminate actions on the part of the citizens only adds to the already flawed system, a lackluster attitude of the city's civic body and the blame game that the politicians play!
In order to overcome the challenges of plastic waste, the Maharashtra government imposed a ban on single-use plastic items on June 23. But until and unless the citizens comply with the ban and rectify the wrongs of the past such grim pictures will keep making headlines and keep trending.

THE UNDOING-siddhantika w.

Healing. It doesn't come easy Sometimes, it comes along with a realization that hits you after your 500th breakdown, punctuated with hours and hours of howling. Sometimes, you submerge yourself in it when you simply dip your feet in the cold water of a stream, after a long, tiring trek; letting it numb your skin. Sometimes, it slips in subconsciously, as you listen to the lyrics of your once favourite songs, making you revisit old, painful memories. Sometimes, you discover it with your head popping out the window, soaking in the warm sunshine and the cool breeze, piercing in through the pine trees. Sometimes it comforts you at the end of those long-awaited and avoided conversations about bottled up resentment and unstated apologies. Sometimes it lingers in the corners, when you accidentally meet a stranger in a coffee shop where you sit for hours, chatting animatedly about your dreams, finding commonalities. Sometimes, it seeps in through the walls on a dark, lonely night, wh...

Untold story mountain

Mountains, first. Lovers, second. I remember the first time I was travelling to North India, my brother said to me, "you'll go crazy when you get to see 'em snow clad mountains". I was like, " OKAY, whatever that means🙄", my mind unable to absorb it at that time. The first time I saw snow mountains, I was flying above them. From my window seat, all I could see was a vast stretch of what looked like white and grey elevations and dents in the earth. Clouds hovered above them, making them look like some sort of an inaccessible paradise. As we kept descending, they kept becoming mightier. And along with that, more and more real. I remember wanting to know what it would feel like to be in their presence. The second time I saw them, we were chasing them in a car. Passes, forests and rivers, all guiding us towards them. I could see them in the distance, their peaks shining in the sun and their magnitude, simply leaving me stunned. The thought of getti...
