Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

India's Fog: A Stark Reminder

India's Fog: A Stark Reminder

The early winter mornings in northern India have recently brought a familiar yet disruptive phenomenon: dense fog. I've been reading about the "heavy fog alert" across the region, causing "poor visibility and potential flight disruptions" Delays expected as winter fog disrupts Delhi flights. It's a stark reminder of how natural elements can swiftly impact our meticulously planned modern lives.

Reports highlight how this "fog blanket grounds Delhi skies," leading to warnings from airlines like Air India and IndiGo about delays Fog blanket grounds Delhi skies. The images of Delhi waking to "dense fog… reducing visibility to near zero" are quite vivid Delhi woke to dense fog on Monday. These events underscore a recurring challenge for our infrastructure and the need for robust contingency planning.

Seeing these disruptions, I reflect on my long-standing interest in environmental factors and their societal impact. I recall discussing 'Pollution' and 'Climate' as topics in my past writings, as noted in Subject / Topic wise Number of Blogs ( as on 01 April 2019 ), recognizing how interconnected our environment is with daily life and infrastructure. The core idea I want to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up thoughts on environmental challenges years ago. While not directly about fog, my earlier insights into 'Pollution' and 'Climate' underscored the importance of understanding and addressing environmental phenomena that can disrupt our modern systems. Now, seeing how things have unfolded with these widespread disruptions, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, I feel a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context of our vulnerability to environmental shifts.

These moments, when nature asserts its dominance over our carefully constructed systems, offer valuable lessons. They push us to consider not just immediate solutions but long-term strategies for resilience and adaptation in the face of environmental unpredictability.
