Mother comparing her two children: (Metaphor)

Purpose: To understand the difference between copper and Aluminium.

Mother: I have two children.

Elder one is Copper and younger one is Aluminium.

I do not have any complains against my elder son copper.

Though my copper is not white but still has got a very unique colour.

It shines like Gold.

You can make electrical wires, utensils, coins etc.

Even if high current flows through it, it can tolerate easily.

Big company’s are ready to pay high price for copper.

But, on the other hand, my younger son Aluminium, is very naughty.

I am very much worried about it’s weight. He is very weak and light.

It can also do everything what my elder son copper can do.

You can make utensils, electrical wires, coins etc.

As it is weak, it can not tolerate high voltage current. It has less tolerance.

But because of it’s light weight, aeroplanes are made from it.

Copper has richness therefore it is costly and valuable. Aluminium is comparatively cheap.

Both of them differ very much.

Now both of them are grown up and working at different places.

If you want to meet copper, you will have to go to Balaghat (M.P).

You can find aluminium in Orissa.

Today, both of my children are well settled and doing well.

I feel proud of them.

UPSC / IAS Interview of River Ganga.

Purpose: to know about river pollution.

1. Tell me about yourself?

I am Miss Ganga.

Gangotri in Himalayas in my home town.

I am 50 million years old and my total length is 2525 Kms.

2. Why do you want to become IAS Officer?

I love my country very much.

I want to become IAS Officer to serve the country at different levels, work for the welfare of the underprivileged and contribute towards the nation’s development.

3. Tell me about your any two positive and negative strengths.

My two strengths are:

1. I make one of the most fertile plains of the world.
2. My basin is very fertile and suitable for agriculture.

My two weaknesses are:

1. I am the fifth most polluted river in the world.
2. Every year I get flooded and cause heavy loss to life and property.

4. Over the years, rapid population growth and exponential growth of industrialization and urbanization within the basin has subjected the river to various forms of degradation. In other words many have exploited you. If you are given a chance to take revenge on anyone, would you take revenge or forgive them?

According to me, I emphasize the importance of forgiveness because I feel that revenge doesn’t work. My purpose to come on the earth was to save and help people and to make their life better. With situations like this in my life, I take solace in the notion of karma, that sooner or later, what goes around comes around. https://nmcg.nic.in/gangaactionplan1.aspx

Plastic appears in AAP KI ADALAT

Purpose: To understand how does Plastics harm the environment?

Lawyer: On heavy demand through Fb, Twitter and other social media, today we have invited Plastic in the court.

Plastic ji, welcome to the show. With due permission of our Hon’ble judge, I would like to start the proceedings.

Judge: Permission granted. Start the proceedings.

Lawyer: The very first blame on plastic is “It is non-biodegradable”.

Plastic: I accept that I am non-biodegradable but at the same time Non-biodegradable wastes can be managed by practicing the concept of

3Rs—Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. It depends upon you how you make use of me.

Lawyer: Second blame on you is ” you produce toxic fumes when burnt”.

Plastic: If you burn anything, it will release harmful gas only. Why put blame on me? When I can be recycled, why should you burn me.

Lawyer:  Next blame on you is “You harm the environment by choking the drains.”

Plastic: Do I go to the drain or you people take me to the drain.

If you throw me in the drains, I will not allow water to flow. That’s my property.

This is how  I protect you and your things from water.

Lawyer:  You are ruining our soils and lands. The plastic litter in the water is mistaken for food by the aquatic animals. You are

spreading like a disease which has no cure. What is your say on this?

Plastic: I am to be used properly. If you use me properly, I can be very helpful. But, people throw me on road, at railway platforms, in market,

in water on burn me here and there and instead of blaming the people, you are blaming me. What is my fault?

Lawyer: Government is planning to ban plastics and are looking for other alternatives, how do you feel?

Plastic: Other alternatives were already there before I was born but I can not be replaced. If government is going to put a ban on me, the government itself will be in trouble.

Lawyer: What message would you like to give to the new generation?

Plastic: First thing is to use me properly with due respect. You can make series of incredible benefits from me everyday. I can be used many times, protect your things for long, save your money as I am cheap and reduce the load of your gadgets because of my light weight. If you will litter, burn or throw me here and there, I can be very dangerous.

Lawyer: Thank you very much. May I now request the Hon’ble Judge to give his judgement.

Judge: After listening from both sides, I have come to the conclusion that:

• Though plastics are Non-Biodegradable, emits harmful gas when burnt and degrades the soil, there is no doubt that it also has many advantages.
• People must learn to use it wisely as it can be reused and recycled.
• Government can decrease the use of plastics but can not ban plastics completely without making the alternate arrangements.
