we humans are just "amazing".

We all know that before 1950 AD the human population was about 3.5 billions.Which means that it took us millions of years to reach that figure.Is'nt it?
Come 2003 and we crossed the 6.5 billion mark.
aadmi aurat ne 1950 ke baad kitni mehnat ki. No other species grew so fast, so alarmingly. Just think about it.
Well this fact raises several pertinent questions. One of them is, with more than 30 percent of earth's space occupied by cars, trucks, aeroplanes (transport), whose areas we may have usurped and occupied ? Working with His Holiness The Dalai Lama my belief had become a covenant that all living beings are the inheritors of this beautiful, bountiful planet, our Mother Earth, the terra firma.
If men, women want to multiply...no problem.
But if the tigers, the lions, the the jungles, the butterflies, the vultures, the earthworms, the honeybees, the Gau Mata, The Ganga Maiya, the gangotri glacier, the peacocks the rhinos,the antarctic ice etc etc are the price tag for human life on earth, is it worth having? And how painful it is to know that by the time I would finish writing this piece, one football sized piece of jungle would have gone/cleared forever and ever...Amen!!
Suddenly I am really worried about My Bholay Shankar you know.
His abode is the snowy Kailash Parvat. With antarctic ice melting who will save Kailash now? Shivling already disappeared a few years ago with the Body hugs , body heat, havans of Shiv bhaktas.
Where is this post going? What the hell ?? What Shiv ji, Shivling, Shiv bhakts have got to do with the STUPENDOUS increase in population during these fifty, sixty years. I am so stupid, naive and compulsively worrying type,
so what if my Ganga Maiya has become an open sewer, so what if my real Gau Mata has to eat plastic while the one made of stone inside the temple is given milk-bath daily,
so what if Mount Kailash or Shivling melt, why worry where my Bholay Shankar and Ma Parvati will go.
This population increase (?), this everyday act of one or two species becoming extinct forever has no connection. There is no co-relation with the above you see..Imagine it took us thousands and thousands of years to reach the number of 3.5 million till1950.And in just 60 odd years we outraced most of the insects (I guess) and crossed 6.5 billion mark.
veni..vidi....vici.
ps
clappings...we got this huge export order of leather goods from Europe worth crores.
The europeans will only save 30 to 50 million litres of their clean water by giving us this export order, but we have plenty of clean water to waste in washing animal hides.
