Roar.

Its a pity, to imagine that one day my kids might run to me and say, "Mamma have u ever seen a tiger? We have it here in our books as an extinct animal,have u? have u?"
Imagine that day,in a few years when our national animal will be extinct.
This is my blog, my little bit to help these tigers.

Poaching and other related activities have brought down the tiger population by nearly 60%. Today we have only 1411 tigers left. In just 2009 over 68 tigers have been killed and out of those 68 around 32 of them have been poached.

And what have we all done to help nature? we use every little bit of her and don't take care of her at all. These tigers and their absence might seem like something that does not affect our daily lives but on a large scale we will realise that it is a cycle and the absence of such a huge animal will make a huge difference. We are going to run out of fuels in less than 60 years from now. We humans are such selfish people who want to use every possible thing available and we don't really care about the consequences or what we leave for our future generations.Well.. when we don't care about other humans how can i fight here for a cause that is about animals!

Let us all hold hands today and spread the word. Starting with this tiger project we can prove it to the world that i am strong..i am the common man.. this country is filled with people like me who are ready to fight and support.

2010 is the year of the tiger. Let us do our little bit to save the big cats!!!



All those interested in this cause can spread this message through their blogs and articles.

baatsha!

ya today was funny.
I got up early and rushed to the Bangalore University with appa. We reached by 930 to stand in a queue of around 700 people in order to submit my correspondence forms. Appa said, "hmm.. thats a crowd.. do u need my help??". Being the usual jerk i said,"no pops,thanks but i don't want to take the easy way out, I will wait and get things done."
He chuckled and left. as the sun began to cheer up i began to lose it.. I was tanning in order to get a DD verified. wit people around me discussing about how their friends stood for 6 or 7 hours the previous day and a few others verifying their filled forms, i began to text everyone possible! I was building sand castles with my white shoes. I stood for an hour and finally asked my stupid ego to shut up. I picked my phone and called papa.

"papaaa, where're u?.. this is so bad. its hot. i don't like it. this line hasn't moved at all. its HOT. pl pa help me.."

i could hear him giggle and cut the call.. I found him next to me in the next few minutes. He said ok give me tht form and the DD. I was confused. I gave it to him. He disappeared into that crazy crowd as i waited there cursing my old sunscreen lotion. He came back in exactly 6 mins and said seri come out of that queue. I said papa no no its finally moving.. are u sure you want me to jump out.
He said ya ya I got it done. Come out.

And with dirty cursing glares from the others in the line i ran happily towards my dad.. Thank you papa.. you are the BEST... but how? what did you say..
and then came the two words... "unmaiya sonnein" :P
