Poem

TEACHER
(Best wishes on Teacher's day 5 September)

Teaching is a very noble art
It helps the subject to get smart.

Mother is the first teacher for a baby
Father adds value to that greatly.

Parents teach with love and care
They want their children to dare.

Parents' way is very informal 
Teacher's way is strictly formal.

Teacher often follows a curriculum 
That helps subject pass an exam.

Most teachers work for remuneration 
But they do that with passion.

Teacher transfers new knowledge 
That helps subject grow in leverage.

Guru is also a teacher of sort
Guru gives advice in short.

Guru normally expands our vision
That helps lead life with reason.

Guru covers heart mind temperament 
That's for our overall development.

MY LITTLE PRINCESS

MY LITTLE PRINCESS

My little princess arrived in my family 
She just fitted in my arms softly.

She is very cute to look at
She has a fine complexion to beat.

She is so soft to touch
It is a pleasure to cuddle as such.

It is fun to watch her growing
She is always swiftly moving.

When I sit she likes to jump on to my arms
And touch my face with her nimble hands.

When she looks at me she is mesmerizing 
Her undivided love and affection perplexing.

When I lie down on my bed she lies next to me
As if she is waiting for me to get up and flee.

I don't know how she knows when I am sick
She wouldn't let go of me till I am out of panic.

She has already become big enough 
She is a darling no one can rebuff.

My little princess has grown from puppy to dog
Every morning religiously I take her out for a jog.

I named her Julie when she came
I wish she lives long true to her name.

CLIMATE JUSTICE AND INDIA'S DILEMMA

CLIMATE JUSTICE AND THE DEVELOPMENTAL DILEMMA: INDIA'S PATH TO NET ZERO BY 2070

The global climate agenda has witnessed a transformative shift, especially after the 2015 Paris Agreement, where nations pledged to combat climate change collectively. Yet, the quest for climate justice reveals deep inequalities—particularly for developing countries like India, which face the complex challenge of aligning climate commitments with urgent developmental needs.

Historical Emissions and Responsibility

The industrialization of the West occurred without environmental constraints. The U.S. and Europe together account for nearly half of historical CO₂ emissions—over 25% and 22% respectively. In contrast, India, despite its vast population, has contributed under 4%.

This stark disparity highlights the principle of historical responsibility: developed nations have consumed a disproportionate share of the global carbon budget. Today, India is being asked to curb emissions while still striving to provide basic infrastructure, energy, healthcare, and education for millions. This isn't just an economic or technological challenge—it is a profound moral dilemma.

India's Developmental Priorities

Nearly 20% of Indians live below the poverty line. Millions lack access to clean energy, modern housing, and adequate infrastructure. India needs sustained growth in manufacturing, transportation, agriculture, and energy to uplift these populations.

However, much of this development still relies on fossil fuels. Shifting to cleaner alternatives involves high upfront costs, technology dependence, and systemic changes. Clean tech remains expensive and often sourced internationally—posing both financial and strategic hurdles.

Applying the same emissions standards to India as to the U.S. or EU overlooks these developmental gaps. For India, development is not optional—it is essential and urgent.

India's Climate Commitment: Net-Zero by 2070

Acknowledging global urgency, India announced its target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 at COP26 in Glasgow. While ambitious and responsible, this goal also introduces significant challenges:

1. Financial Costs: The transition to net-zero will cost trillions in investments over the next decades. India needs sustained external support in climate finance, capacity building, and long-term technology partnerships.

2. Technology Access: A low-carbon future demands India leapfrog to advanced clean technologies. However, intellectual property barriers, import costs, and limited domestic manufacturing hinder access.

3. Energy Security: Renewables like solar and wind are promising but intermittent. Until grid infrastructure and storage capacity improve, coal and natural gas will remain essential for stability and energy access.

Climate Justice and Equity

Climate justice demands that the world recognize asymmetries in responsibility and capacity. Developed countries built their wealth on emissions-heavy growth. Expecting nations like India to now pursue a low-emission path—without equivalent benefits or support—amounts to "pulling up the ladder."

Moreover, the impacts of climate change—floods, droughts, rising sea levels—are often felt most severely by those least responsible: low-income and vulnerable populations, especially in the Global South.

The principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities" (CBDR-RC) enshrined in the Paris Agreement remains critical. It mandates that all countries act, but not identically or simultaneously.

India's Proactive Climate Action

Despite its developmental challenges, India has emerged as a climate leader with robust, forward-thinking initiatives:

- Renewable Energy: India has installed over 170 GW of renewable capacity and aims for 500 GW by 2030.
- International Solar Alliance (ISA): Co-founded by India, the ISA promotes global solar energy collaboration, particularly for developing nations.
- Energy Efficiency: Programs like PAT (Perform, Achieve, Trade) and UJALA (LED distribution) have reduced energy intensity and promoted sustainable consumption.
- Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE): Introduced at COP26, this campaign encourages environmentally-conscious consumption patterns globally.

These measures prove India is committed to climate action—not as an obligation, but as a responsibility. What India demands is fairness, not exemption.

Role of Developed Nations

India's transition requires strong international cooperation. Developed countries must:

1. Fulfill Climate Finance Pledges: The promise of $100 billion per year in climate finance remains unmet. India needs reliable, long-term, low-interest funding for renewable infrastructure and green innovation.

2. Facilitate Technology Transfer: Green technologies must be made affordable and accessible. Joint R&D, open-source innovations, and equitable licensing arrangements are essential.

3. Preserve Carbon Space for Development: Developed nations must undertake steeper emissions cuts, allowing developing economies the space to grow sustainably.

A Just and Inclusive Transition

India's net-zero commitment by 2070 reflects pragmatic ambition. It strikes a balance between environmental responsibility and the imperative of human development. But to make this a reality, the global community must respond not with pressure, but with partnership.

True climate justice is possible only when equity becomes the foundation of climate policy. It requires acknowledging historical emissions, addressing present inequalities, and ensuring shared but differentiated responsibilities for the future.

Only through mutual respect, technological collaboration, and sustained support can we forge a path toward a truly inclusive and effective response to the climate crisis.
