Understanding Air Pollution

understanding respiration

We breathe air, it is divided in to small tiny micro packets of air and is mixed with blood to be carried to all over the body.

Understanding smoking

So the cigarette smoke has particles thin and micro enough to pass along with the gases into the blood stream to get you high.

Half the residue resides on the way, trachea and entrance of lung the rest is divided to and the blood stream


Understanding air pollution

Anything that burns leaves a residue, so a car burning petrol leaves not just gases so2 co co2 , but residue is Nano micro level, it's the particulate matter (pm 2.5 - 10) so these particles enters your blood stream when you brethe, not fully stopped by your kerchief or scarf, not by your hairs in the nose, not by your lungs. In the long term these do cause harm In wide range.
This is half the story of particulate matter. What about the gases co2, co, so2 that you inhale is a great question mark.

Filtering out the particulate matter is a less cost task



While to filter gases is a costly affair



Are these effective, a loud yes, they fit comfortably with out any leak from the sides,  the one's with exhaust valves makes your breathe comfortable without forming any vapours.

For those who say" I don't wish to live long, I don't want to use these" I say, I am just helping you save on your health cost in the latter years by making you invest few hundreds now"

 those who read the news papers, at least from time to time, should have noticed a small column taking about air quality index, like weather report they have earned a permanent space in the paper.

How accurate are these, sadly not accurate and does not reflect the real picture. Why? These results are specific to a monitor centre located in one part of city. And most cities have just one center. So the clear picture is far worse than actual.

Big Pune Memoir


Under Draft:

It's been 1 year 1 month 3 weeks here in Pune. To recollect what I experienced, felt from my memory can be far different than what really happened. 

There is to much details flooding in but that's personal I have to try keep it generalised for the time I have spent with Pune mates.

Being last to board the flight and haven't brought my parents, they stayed with me till I could see them when I was far inside the checkin counter. It wasn't exactly emotional but made me realise only then that am really going far, and when seeing them again the bond we shared might be even long forgotten.

My first flight experience was no more than like a bumpy bus ride up hill. wasn't a window seat but could get a glimpse of the clouds and after some time all looks the same. The 1.40 minutes looked long as I couldn't strike a conversion with either the boy or the girl from my other batch who were sitting aside.

In the beginning days Pune mates where intresred in going out but we had no proper plans nor chooses places. While I was a bit low I had to do something and go out, but getting at least some of them up for an unplanned outing would take compromises and time,
so After some advise, decided I can make it solo. 30km away on public transport to the museums



This was my last trip with Pune mates, I would have not believed if said at that time,  already Jyothi dint join but still 5 was the largest number that is possible to gather. Which can't happen no more.

After many perfect and beware perfect trips and with the climate always had been supporting us, this was opposite an heavy rain making our umbrellas of no use, and making visibility by far worse for a place which needed a perfect view.



Talk of visiting an unplanned place, this one must be gem in the list, visiting mini () on the way, and knowing we can go there just few kms back. 

Kas plateau still had some flowers in the view, but trip ended with rain and never could we get the infinite flowers view, still it was as good as qq have seen nothing like that before.

The temple couldn't have been covered in the morning, but in the pitch dark visiting the temple made us mumble we could have arrived earlier
