Climate Change is an issue the entire world is facing collectively today. Google describes
Climate Change as a change in global or regional climate patterns, in particular a change
apparent from the mid to late 20th century onwards and attributed largely to the increased levels
of atmospheric carbon dioxide produced by the use of fossil fuels.
To simply understand; climate change refers to environmental degradation at an accelerated
pace as a result of human activities. This in turn leads to catastrophic events such as Amazon
forest fires, Venice flood, Australia bushfires and firestorms occurring at a rapid rate.
It's not just human activities that have contributed to this degradation. It is also a result of our
outlook towards climate change. The sheer ignorance and the resultant lack of adequate action to
control the situation makes things worse. Despite the alarming situation of the Amazon forests –
Lungs of the Earth burning into ashes, which caught the attention of the whole world- the
Brazilian Government has not presented any consistent policy to protect the forest and its
people. Venice serves to be another example. Venice – UNESCO World Heritage site was losing
itself to the flooding. The local authorities had called for a state of emergency to be imposed in
the city as it was the worst flooding in Venice since 1966. The city has suffered grave damage and
it would cost hundreds of millions of Euros to fix the city.
One of the examples from India is – pollution in Delhi caused because of burning of firecrackers
during Diwali. The pollution level in Delhi has been hazardous since late October, with the air
quality dipping to 'severe' category more often than not. To hold down the dust and pollutants,
more than five lakh litres of water was sprinkled at 13 pollution hotspots in just two days.
As per ILO by 2030 India is set to lose productivity equivalent to 34 billion jobs due to global
warming. Besides this, climate change is already wreaking havoc in the agrarian sector. In 2019,
about 45 % of India was under drought and more than 12 states saw devastating floods.
Even after all these devastating consequences people and the government just refuse to consider
Climate Change an issue serious enough to be dealt with aggressively. If we don't start taking
appropriate action to restore ecological balance, we are all doomed. Climate Change is real and it
is impacting each one of us. Every individual needs to become aware and act in order to sustain
the environment, before the situation gets completely out of hand. We all add to the degradation
of the environment through our lifestyle. Little changes on our part can result in a better future.
We also need to raise our voices and demand the authorities to come up with actionable and
comprehensive plans to tackle Climate Change. It's crucial to realise, we are all responsible and
therefore, we all need to act responsibly.

“Why are you always on that phone of yours? Do you ever leave this thing?” Haven't majority of
us millennials heard this statement? Especially if grandparents are involved in the conversation,
what follows is “Our times were much simpler, when these mobile phones did not exist. People
would talk to each other. Not sit in the same room and be aware of what's happening at the other
end of the world but remain completely oblivious to their immediate surroundings.” It tends to
get on our nerves. I'm not writing from the sender's end. I speak from the receiving party's side.
So yes, it's irking but not absolutely wrong. Now this article isn't to slander and prove internet is a
bane and phones should be thrown away because of how addictive they've become. I'm not
suggesting that, and you wouldn't do that anyway because you're
'smart' people. But please do keep aside your device
for a few minutes as you go ahead and read this
piece.
Each one of us as an individual has an
extremely busy life. However, according
to research from RescueTime, one of
several apps for iOS and Android created
to monitor phone u s e , p e o p l e
generally spend an average of three
hours and fifteen minutes on their
phones every day, with the top 20% of
smartphone users spending upwards of
f o u r a n d a h a l f hours. This might
not be for 'work r e l a t e d ' r e a s o n s
solely. But this article isn't about the time we're spending on our devices. This piece is about the
time we aren't spending with our loved ones.
Some of us have our schools to match pace with, others college and rest of us have our work
keeping us on our toes. If we are staying with our family, we are actually quite lucky, though this
simple pleasure may pass unnoticed. Home isn't a place it is a feeling which you discover only
around people you love. It's in the little things; like coming back home to freshly brewed coffee
as a searing pain runs down your neck due to all the problems of the world being laden on your
shoulders. It's your mom calling you to the dinner table five times before you actually grace the
gathering with your presence. Every day, the same harmless threats “I will only call once from
tomorrow, whoever wishes to eat may do so or deal with their hunger pangs on their own, later.”,
followed by five calls every day yet again, to remind you that the food is getting cold. The thing is, the food is
getting cold and our family is getting old.
Times are changing rapidly and we are moving out of cities and our homes at the speed of bullet trains. Once upon a
time when this world was sans the distraction of technology; families would sit and spend time together.
Grandparents would tell humiliating stories about their children, about how the struggle for independence was real,
how nights were spent sleeping under the starlit sky in summers and adventures of simpler days. It's not that people
didn't shift to different places back then or children didn't leave homes for better prospects.
But when they left, they carried lots of stories and memories with them. The stories are still here but sadly, we aren't
listening. It's not their loss. It's ours.
One day, when we come back to an empty home, frozen food in the fridge and have nobody to nag us on our
constant screen time, we are going to miss it. But the deal is, to make memories with the people you love and your
family. Have a cup of tea with your family, eat at least one meal together, and spend at least an hour from your entire
day with your parents and grandparents. Spend some time with your other family members when you get the
chance. When times change and so does your life, as you'll look back, at least you wouldn't say “I wish I had spent
more time with them.” You would rather end up saying “I'm glad I made all those memories.”

Of what use is my voice if I am not able to say
anything about the current situation of the
world?
Of what use are my words if I am not able to
iterate what is happening around us?
Of what use is my knowledge if I am not able

Of What Use?Neha KhemkaBAJMC VI
POEM
Of what use is my voice if I am not able to say
anything about the current situation of the
world?
Of what use are my words if I am not able to
iterate what is happening around us?
Of what use is my knowledge if I am not able
to enlighten people about what is really
happening in the world?
Of what use are my senses if I differentiate
between humans on the basis of caste,
religion and gender?
Of what use is our existence if we just watch
the world we live in bleed everyday?
