I am being too much happy that you are asking me. Iam thanking all you askers. Here are my answerings. Only to good questioning. I really wreck my brains for it. You also wreck  your brains. And send more question. Anything on environment, kutta billi and air water...  Write me in Gobar Times. I am impatient waiting. For environmental questions.  Okay, no?

Why

?
A name connects you, and your life, to the outside world. The many uses of gobar in millions of Indian homes is a wonderful example of the best use of natural resources. A tradition of wealth from waste.

So can we learn to apply these environmental principles in our modern lives to achieve a sustainable lifestyle and save ourselves and our planet?
