Simple steps to Save water ... The Ice way and the other ways

Shubh Gupta is a teenager, who loves his coke with plenty of ice.

Mrs. Geetika is a housewife, who likes to entertain her friends and family. One of her specialties is Jaljeera, which she prepares with loads of ice to make it refreshing and cool.

Pritam Singh is a farmer, who works in his fields the whole day and likes to unwind with a glass full of lassi containing at least 3-4 ice cubes.

Now, you might have heard about and seen, experienced a lot many people, enjoying their beverages with generous quantities of ice. From Scotch to Shinkwanji, ice is a common ingredient in all.

So I say, why throw the left over ice in the sink? Why not throw it in the soil where plants grow?
The ice will soon melt way and plants will get some irrigation too.

Blogger Shruti, when asked about one simple idea to save water, actually gave me two (She is quite generous by nature)
1) Make sure that u have a bath in just one bucket of water
2) Use a crusher to get rid of the dirt from the dishes. A bone crusher that crushes the food left on the plate. This reduces the water used to wash the dishes.

When I asked blogger Akriti to lend in some of her views on the topic, she gave me two very interesting points

1) Don't use it

2) Turn off the tap when not in use

Well, on this note, I may add that I belong to that lucky population on Earth who can enjoy a 24 hour water supply. Still, I feel since water is slowly becoming a luxury, it is our responsibility too. The fortunate ones should not just shrug off, saying that that their is no water problem in our area. Everyone should make efforts to curb wastage.

Blogger Tamanna, texted me a short while ago two of her favorite water conservation techniques.

1) Closing the tap while brushing teeth

2) Bathing with a bucket and not taking a shower.

So friends, each and every step you take on water conservation it counts. Every drop makes an ocean and we do need a healthier ocean of groundwater that is declining so rapidly.

Saving each drop will only save that ocean. Do your bit. But not before commenting in your ideas, tips, suggestions on water conservation.

The tangy sweet sour taste of life - Orangy

Several friends and acquaintances ask me what Orangy is all about. I have no answer, not because I am doing all this as a juvenile whim but because the vision I hold for Orangy is too large, too long term to be put into words.

Hence, I coined this slogan, you like it or not, do tell me.

Orangy : The tangy sweet sour taste of life

I think this one shall do. We have certain sad things, bad things like the social issues we write upon and that we can classify under sour taste. Sweet well, the site has this buoyant energy which you can see all over and that makes it sweet and nice. Tangy well, how do I put that? But anyway certain content here is tangy as well. Life well, Orangy has so many aspects of your daily life covered into it. Be it cooking or books etc.

Footsteps on the Sands of Time, is now my autobiographical site. Time shall tell whether I was a failure in life or success and in how much degrees, nevertheless if I die tomorrow or today for that matter, I am going to still remain with you all.

We are working on two new sites one is on teenagers and another on education. Problem is to the minute technical details one has to work on. Content should not be much of a problem.

Things have been looking up and down on several fronts. Technik and Jagruti are suffering from quality content, whereas Foodzie has gained a recipe from Richa and Orangy an interview from Netika. Interactive, that's how I will like Orangy to be. The tangy part I guess.

The most worrying thing for me, is the World over traffic rank which is going down and is now at
8,196,308
I know it is not a figure to be boastful of but still at least we have a ranking. But it was going up and well and suddenly it is showing a downward trend, although marginally.
