Global warming song goes places!

To my delight global warming song gets good response! May be because of the theme which is a thrust area now. Dr. Padmaja of ICRISAT got the idea to get the summer camp children sing the song during their valedictory function, when I casually mentioned that I had set a parody song to the tune of `gallo telipotonde' song. The song was being played in the staff bus that time.

When the idea was put forth, children liked it instantaneously. They readily and confidently agreed that they would also come up with an accompanying power point presentation. Although I couldn't make time to attend the function, I now have a few photographs.




Sakti, the NGO with which I was associated earlier, also liked the song and are planning to include it in their Climatic change awareness sessions in rural areas.

Global warming Puzzle

Looks like that `Climatic change and Global warming' are the new buzz words of this decade. It used to be `Sustainability' and `organic agriculture' a couple of decades ago. But this time the concept is gaining momentum and is taking the shape of a revolution possibly because of its applicability to the world at large and increased awareness made possible by enhanced communication technology. Its bearing on the `fuel sector' is probably the major driving force for driving many-a-player into the arena.


Although my role in the big picture is minimal, my own way of doing things has some significant contribution in inspiring the younger generation and spreading the awareness. On the menu are my usual two items - Cross word puzzle and a Parody song. The parody song is set to the tune of `Gallo telipotonde' song from Jalsa and was first presented at ANGRAU during the Earth day celebrations. The same song was developed by the participants of the summer camp by adding an accompanying power point presentation. SAKTI is also planning to include the puzzle and parody songs in their Climatic change awareness programmes.
