Nature will teach humily to every one,sooner or later,so better we inculcate ourselves,nature may be kind in that case...
Perhaps it is a wake up call for all near and dear, materialism is not worth it beyond a point. having the best of everything does not guarantee total safety from any calamity, manmade or natural. After working so hard to get all luxuries, it all goes in a minute. So, what are we getting these luxuries, it appears to please 'THY NEIGHBOUR'. we might wear the best dresses, but at night a simple cotton dhoti will gie more comfort than the most expensive clothing. Nothing beats simplicity.

Nothing beats stupidity either. Development means that today we are able to go to places where you would have never dreamt of. Development means you survive diseases to which people would perish earlier. Ex. 300-500 million people perished in the 20th century due to this disease which has now been eradicated. Development means sleeping in the comfort of AC when temp outside is 40C. Development also means producing more food grains per hectare than ever in history to feed the growing population. These calamities cannot be averted but we can learn from this to know how we can survive better when this happens again.

The simplest city is wearing nothing! Ask AdamAndEve for more details due to which they could populate this whole world!

A silent tsunami is engulfing India and picking out the most corrupt and bad elements who have cheated poor people of our country. It has started swallowing their wealth and peace and will leave them totally broken. Beware! All black money hoarders and public money looters of India! An invisible Tsunami is going to hit you and your families and you will be brought to streets.
We need to revisit the definition of “Development”. I don’t need development if its cost is such that it risks me my life, my family, my way of life, my livelihood; risks that not only threaten me and the country but also threatens entire generations to come. And what is the benefit of all this risk? Some numbers maybe from 7% to 11.5% growth rate which the Congress or any other damned political party can show-off as their deed of “successful tenure and good-governance”. But this growth is at what cost? Is any of the scientists who were so upbeat about the nuclear deal please stand-up and explain what benefit did the nuclear power give Japan and what did its innocent civilians just give up? Can any of the haloed news-channel panellists come forward and show the average Japanese civilian the way forward to pick up the pieces of their lives after the natural calamity? Its from calamity to disaster. One was unavoidable. But was the other the doing of the civilians or the doing of inept politicians? The Bushes and Manmohans of this world. I dont need nuclear power. I don’t need development. Development means something else to me. Development is not high-rises at the cost of forests and wildlife. Development is not nuclear power risking my generations to come. Development is not living under the constant threat of terrorism. Development is not some excel worksheet churning out profits. Developme

Well,even if you are not developed ,you cannot control earth quakes,infact due to development in Japan,the casualties are few,all else it would have been in 10s of thousands..
For example,India's one of least developed state Assam had major earthquakes in 1889 and 1950 which killed thousands and changed the geography of the region.Another major quake is due now.Those days there was zero development,still thousands were dead...
Yes,in highly seismic zones like India's north east or Japan,we can just have eath quake resistant houses or earth quake preparedness ! But Japan could withstood it,India's north east won't be,and government of India will raise its hand and media will be busy with gossip stories about Rahul Mahajan when thousands will be dieing in India...

Development means a promise for a safe and peaceful coexistence. Who are the people we can rely on for development in todays world? Ambanis? Gandhis? Kalmadi? Thomas? Theres absolutely no one who has the tenacity to provide us true Development. They can only at best achieve some esoteric numbers for growth (which again may be cooked-up) which have no bearing on our lives.

There is direct relation between population and natural disasters. Has any one given a thought there may be a limitation of number of people which earth can sustain over a long period of 20,ooo may be 100,000n years. there could a purpose of earth.
Re: What is nuclear meltdown
by Ujwala Kulkarni on Mar 13, 2011 02:47 PM
The fuel pellets (uranium dioxide generate heat during reactor operation which is taken away by the coolant (often light/heavy water) to the turbine for power generation. Even after reactor shutdown (nearly zero neutron flux after control rods are actuated) the fuel pellets continue to generate heat, albeit at a lower (`6%) level due radioactive decomposition of nucleides generated during power generation. If the cooling system (including emergency cooling system) fails, the temperature of the core continues to rise to a point where the structural components in the core can melt. This Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) is often known as the CHINA syndrome in the US. High level radioactivity can get released to the environment following such an accident.
