During past recent days, western India has seen much rainfall, higher than ever before in winter season. I guess, this is due to climate change that is gradually taking place worldwide. Last winter in Europe was quite harsh with lot of snow fall, breaking records of several years. Due to this unexpected rain, temperature has gone down sharply, and heating energy demand has started little earlier as compared to normal years when it starts in December first or second week.
Enjoy the winters fruits, vegetables, bar-be-que and sitting in sun!

Lighting with bulbs on Diwali
This Diwali again, lot of incandescent bulbs were seen in use for decorative lighting. Despite several appeals for not using the bulbs for decoration, most of the market associations and shopkeepers did not respond and continued using the same inefficient bulbs.
I think when we have surplus money, we become unconcerned about energy efficiency and other similar issues related to sustainability.
Since awareness campaigns and voluntary action is not working well in this field, government should ban use of incandescent lamps, especially for decorative lighting. It has to be done similar to the way polythene bags have been banned in Rajasthan.
Same action is required to curb the firing of crackers that pollute our environment like anything.
