Holi : Annual Water Usage Sermon Ritual

Holi

Holi

Millions of liters of water is wasted on ground maintenance for high drama entertainment games. All in the name of passive entertainment for TV viewers.

Worldcup now, IPL next. Utter waste of water for some entertainment which has more negative impact on viewers than any positive impact.

There is no hue and cry.

On the other hand, water used for active entertainment of millions for 1 day is questioned. This is nothing but selective and agenda based mind viruses.

Old post on same topic (Copied from friend’s wall):

आईपीएल के मैचो के लिए महाराष्ट्र में कई कई स्टेडियम के मैदान में हर रोज सैकड़ो टैंकर पानी का छिडकाव किया जा रहा है …
समझिए अगर प्रतिदिन 2 टैंकर पानी का छिड़काव होता है
तो उस हिसाब से महीने के 60 टैंकर
हर एक टैंकर मे १०००० पानी आता है …. मतलब महीने मे 6 लाख लीटर पानी सिर्फ मैदानों के छिड़काव पर ही खर्च हो जाता है

जरा सोचिए कितनी पानी की बरबादी की है !!!

महाराष्ट्र मे नागपुर,पुणे मुंबई के सभी स्टेडियम मे होने वाले पानी के छिड़काव के अगर आंकड़े आप निकालने जाएंगे तो बाल सफ़ेद हो जाएंगे !!!!!

जरा सोचिए की अभी आईपीएल चालू होने मे 8-10 दिन बाकी हैं मतलब पानी का कितना दुरुपयोग होगा !!!

लेकिन ये न्यूज़ आपको आज की हमारी “तेज़” मीडिया बिलकुल नहीं बताएगी !!!
क्योंकि एबीपी न्यूज़,खाजतक,rNDTV सब के सब एक साथ अंधे बहरे हो गए हैं….

=============

Wish you great Holi. Use water as per your local availability. Be rational in your usage. Don’t be sentimental as mass media wants you to be.

And if you really want to save water, and still want to enjoy passive entertainment, start campaign about playing sports on naturally maintained grounds with no special water treatment.

———————

Without any bias, try to contemplate on types of entertainment.
Passive vs Active.
Passive = your passive involvement. Outside fence. To clap and cheer. And if it is on TV, you cannot even feel the gist fully. More Ads than ever. Disconnect between mind and physical activities. Mind is over-used. Body- underutilized. No balance.
Active = you participate. You are on the ground. Your active involvement is required.
As we do SWOT analysis for every minute thing in professional life, do it for entertainment.
Keep sentiments and your passion aside. Be rational.
Which is better to spend life for? Isn’t life limited and precious?
3 hrs for passive cricket or football (or even Kabbadi on TV) or 3 hrs play with kids and friends?
