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?"

Who is to be blamed for global warming ?

An income / expenditure survey of 63,000 Indian households ( selected from an initial listing of 450,000 households ) found :
 45 % of the Indian population earn less than Rs.20 per day ( less than US $ 0.50 )
That is nearly 500 million people !
If they cut down trees for firewood to cook their 4 teaspoons of rice , could you blame them for global warming ?
