Summary

Sustainability - A modern day thought caught my attention quite naturally after my 10 years stint with the corporate companies. I started learning about this along with certain other environmental topics. It has pushed me to take a sabbatical and do a two years Masters programme in Development where i tried to specialize myself in the areas of Waste Energy. It was good until then, but towards the end of the programme, it was a deep dilemma about the whole development model. Then, I had this question, " Why it was not Sustainable, so called development, all these days" There were three things in-front of me, i Activism ii Policy intervention and iii Grassroots implementation. I chose the ground and wanted to be a Change agent by not only setting the norms or protest against the system, but also to contribute for the possible action. Yes, I did not and probably could not take a complete U turn and so I started liking the philosophy - "Consume less, Produce more Relate better^#
