My feelings on Science

My feelings on Science
What is Chemistry?
I think it is a mystery
Too many elements to learn
And so much CO2 to burn
I really hate rotten eggs
But I like H2S
Oh, I think that is too much of
chemistry


Let us come to electricity
Yes, it is physics
Which I think is the toughest
Drawing of the microscope
Is difficult than telescope
But our teacher doesn’t
understand
and asks us to draw a diagram

Too boring it is
No-interesting it is
I really do not know what
Biology is
It is interesting to read
But boring to feed in our minds
Viruses of all kinds
Oh! Useful plants are easy
But agriculture makes me uneasy
I do not know why
But I love science

This is a suggestion regarding the end page poster. In the poster on the last page of the Gobar Times no 24, Aug 31, 2002, I fail to understand how the smaller circle, showing apartment blocks, represent the poor. I feel that if the picture was recognisable of Delhi/ Bombay, and showed apartments and slums juxtaposed against each other, it would have been more relevant and made more sense.

GT replies: Thank you so much for your observation. We meant the background of the poster to denote the city (cow). The circles denote the two stomachs of the city (cow). We however understand how a person can misunderstand the picture. What we were saying is that the buildings symbolise the city, and the two stomachs represent the two classes, rich and poor. It was unfortunate that the small stomach also fell on an apartment block and thus led people to misunderstanding.

Please refer to the photograph in the front page Mathrubhumi Daily (October 28, 2002). We request necessary action against owners and the truck driver, for torturing the elephant, a wild animal, while transportation, request necessary enquiry of the ownership certificate from the chief wildlife warden of Kerala, if any issued or not as per the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972. The authorities are requested to issue necessary instruction for proper treatment of the elephant which is in Kottayam now. In spite of the state orders, no proper SPCA nor district animal welfare committee function in Kottayam. Under the district administration, even circuses that transport their animals for thousands of kilometres do not do such cruelties.

This incident is a pity.

GT replies: Dear Ajooni, our career section on www.cseindia.org is a very basic one. We are working on it and will be releasing a much bigger and better section later this year. We will in the meantime, send you a list of courses that you can try for.
