There was a talk by Medha Patkar in campus today. Serious, disturbing. She got a resounding applause at the end.
Thats the end of it.
Im saying this cos even I plan to build my life first. In whatever way.
And I know everyone around me also had the same thoughts.

well it depends...nearly all look for better career opportunities but then we can at least stop drinking coke and pepsi right?
yeah sharique. thats true. i had stopped coke pepsi when the pesticide issue had 1st come. long time back..
BTW just curious..were you the girl who was organizing the event that night?
No sharique :-)
Hey pundit bhelcome back :-)
MP basically talked abt development in general and how the way its getting more one-sided these days. She gave examples to prove this. Infact there was less talk of NBA. She stressed on the pt that Narmada valley is not the only case where the marginalised sections are being neglected. She talked abt SEZs, pepsi, coke, airport expansion in namma chennai.
U have heard of this na! there was a news item sometime back that the residents near the airport were given 48hrs notice to evacuate and their houses were bull dozed at 5 am in the morning. she had brought along some reps from these areas too. QA session would have been interesting but i dint attend cos it had already gone on too long. she came some 80 mins late. That sapped a large part of my enthu.
Sharique
Im more of an audience than an organiser :-D
