I had a chance to visit India this summer - 2017. (Previous Trip ). As usual wonderful time spent with family and friends. Morning - attended cricket nets  Me and Coach  if the monsoon rains were not there. Then visited friends, had lunch with them and had lots of discussions (Quality Time). Mainly visited EA Farms. After 7 years of hard work by my brother , it has shaped up very well. He has planted more than 1000 trees and plants . - Monsoon this season has slightly helped. Praying for more rains. It is shaping up as we envisioned. Still waiting for agricultural (utility - Power) current (We still did not get it after 7 years). Solar power has cut the power dependency into half. Agro-Forest area has some trees grown tall. We have added VanaRaja and GrahmaPriya Chickens to the farm. They bring aesthetics and clean up worms that forms flies. They are good addition to the farm apart from cows and goats. Still planning to plant m...

Let me start by saying from bottom of my heart   Les prières sont avec vous, chers frères et sœurs de France  Praying, Praying, Praying for these type of violent acts not to happen again. As environmentalists we are worried about small creatures including plants and could not comprehend the human deaths that happens due to violence. All we can do is to pray to the almighty, so these does not happen again in the face of Mother EARTH.  Again we had some hurdles on our projects, but came up with positives with the help of prayers from friends and family. We had good rain in the EA Farms area. So it is positive for us. Swale had increased the ground water plume as we envisioned. Hopefully we will have good results soon. Hard Positive Work pays off, for sure. EA Farms - From barren chemically induced land to Sustainable Organic Natural Agricultural Land. EA Farms Agro forestry area should also benefit from these rains.  One negative I see from these rainy d...

With heavy heart and tears writing this, Dr. Kalam left us on 27 July, 2015 to be with God in Heaven. Always prayed to God to send more people like him to Earth. However his legacy is still with us. Observing the condolences in the social media, we can see how many followed him. He had a vision to make the world better and his last speech was on Livable Planet. Most of us will follow his vision. When I was in Maryland doing my research, I had visited Wallops Island Flight Facility and saw his signature there in the visitor's book. That day I thought it will be nice to see him in person. After several years that dream came true, we met him in Casselberry temple. He gave excellent speech  during Gandhi Jayanthi  in the temple hall. He told everyone of us to contribute to others. I still follow that, contributed and contributing my knowledge, experience to guide others in Environmental and Information Technology fields to make their life better ...

Last week I attended a graduation ceremony in one of the big University (UCF).  It was lovely atmosphere. Diversified youngsters who worked hard for  their degrees lined up in their graduating gowns, caps with tassels and hoods.  It was wonderful and powerful atmosphere with their parents, friends and families cheering them.  Education is not easy, especially getting one from traditional universities. Price is high, hard work  needs to be put in, to reap the benefits. It was the time for these young students to start reaping the benefits of their education.  They had their master's and  bachelor's degrees and could see the ultimate happiness when they had their degree.  I wish them all the best success in real World. Graduation Ceremony I remember the time, when I graduated 20 years back. It was a PhD in Environmental Sciences .   With my Ph.D guide Dr. Gupta I was trying to get into teaching research career an...

It has been a while since I updated enviroapps blog. Trying to help a friend in his damaged house, somehow contracted MRSA bacteria. It was a very bad experience that I had to go through. MRSA Prevention: Keep your hands clean by washing thoroughly with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub as soon as you come from an outing. Thanks to immediate attention and prayers, I am back to normal after couple of months. Also, I traveled to India. I could see the difference in India because of the economic boom. People driving high end cars, roads are becoming better (Still not that excellent). These temples were built more than 1000 years ago and look as fresh as a new structure. Pillayarpatti   Thanjavur Since greed has taken over, the structures that has been built at recent past is withering away very easily. Also, very little is focused on Environment and Pollution. Still Plastics are floating everywhere. Garbage thrown at will and nothing has imp...
