Oasis Organic Farm and Gaushala…....A Place on the earth where I want to take my family for Holiday

Dear Readers, 

It may look strange to most of readers, but really my whole family consisting my darling wife and little cutie want to go to place where one river, mountain, organic farms, cows, temples coincides. Obviously it depends on one’s nature and choice about places, but luckily our choice is common in this regard.

I had been to this place oasis farm twice in recent years, now just look at Oasis Valleys located @ CHANOD , 70 KM away from Vadodara, a famous city in our Gujarat.  It has

•          Holy River Narmada just 100 Mt. Away.
•          It is located on the river banks of Narmada, so there are plenty little mountain for trekking, playing etc.
•          There are organic farms where we can walk around, can do labour work on our own, can collect the fruits………….do whatever we like to do.
•          There is one gaushala based on desi cows only (which I like most ) with plenty of small calves, Bullock cart ride etc.
•          There is one institute over there where we can volunteer, where we can teach our liking/expertise subject to others and can learn whatever we like to learn. There are 24 different activities going on in different classes.
•          And finally in nearby town of Chanod (1.5Km away), we can find multiple temples where we can worship, can do pooja-vidhi etc. There are more than 100 temples in this town.
•          There are so many tourist location in and around this place like kevadiay colony(Sardar Sarovar Dam) , dence forest, Garudeshwar etc.  There are so many old ancient monument you can find on road also like tensing lake (5 KM before chanod), dhabhi fort (20KM before chanod)  

I will go for river bath, trekking, gaushala seva and doing innovation in organic farming during my stay. So as mentioned above each of us will get our liking things there and that is the key for inner enjoyment at any place. Otherwise there are so many tourist destinations where we can get good photo frames, but joy is missing. You can have some very good photographs to show others, but you don’t have anything to show for yourself. Here at this place we can have satisfaction, memory for lifetime, and above all one goal to replicate the same.   

This post is meant for indiblogger and www.yatra.com contest and to all my blog readers to spend their holiday with nature. Here are some photographs of my earlier visit……..

Mobile charging by piezoelectricity.........save money, save earth.....

Hi Friends,

Recently, I got mail from Indiblogger for the contest as below:

Franklin Templeton Investments  partnered the TEDxGateway Mumbai in December 2012.

Just for curiosity, I have browsed the video from the website, Initially I thought that there will be more NGO stuff rather than real innovation, but finally I got some technical stuff, which can be called real innovation. One should go through following link to have detailed idea about the innovation : 

Joao lammoglia  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=69pQw6jmBsQ

Though I have not published any research idea, but I am also into same field. I am associated with desi cows and many gaushala, so I have also developed and seen cow urine based charger and electricity related stuff.  I have done some advance testing and practical also, but this thing invented by Joao lammoglia is really far ahead better, one can charge mobile through him/her self only. No need to be dependent others.  This is truly amazing. Piezoelectricity is not a new thing, but to utilize it in such a way is appreciable.

One can charge his/her mobile while one is sleeping, walking, in traffic etc..……you can say it anywhere/anytime/any position free charging. 

This will not only saves earth but also saves our money.  Such idea must be propagated and available in open market immediately.

Use technology, not to be used by it.

Yes, definitely internet is fun, connecting with remote friends is fun, sharing best moments is also a fun. We can do all this with technology, earlier there was telephone, cameras with role, gramophone and many similar things, which has now been converted into internet, blogs, emails, chats, IM, digital cameras and many more.  So if you can notice almost every physical thing has been converted into digital form.

For information sharing, knowledge sharing through internet over mobile is always welcome, like whenever you see any new invention in rural area, new tradition OR any implementation that have worked miracle for masses and you shared it with remote friends with the help of your mobile it is very good step. I do like chatting with friends, occasionally watching videos of them and rarely playing games with them as I believe in useful nature of technology not to be used by it. 

We can define it other way that it is always a good thing to interact with distinct friends and relatives, be it IM, skype or email and that also through laptop or mobile. But as always said “There is a limit for everything”. Today’s apps are playing important role in our life, starting with alarm in mobile, to do, Bluetooth apps, speedometer with help of GPS, direction, money manager and many more. It is always good to share how you have used technology practically in your day to day life. 

So, in nutshell internet is fun for me on my mobile when:

• 1)      Any friend ping with his/her new born baby photos, videos
• 2)      When my owned company video got maximum likes
• 3)      When any social change is happening simply because of internet-mobile-technology combination

But, I don’t like internet over mobile, when: 

• 1)      I see youngster student wasting his/her time in updating their facebook status every half an hour,
• 2)      When I see silly things browsed by youngsters.

Negative side list is very long, but if we use the technology with mobile and internet like below ones, it will be not only fun but meaningful, fruitful and optimal utilization of technology. 

• 1)      Like mobile banking done in South Africa.
• 2)      Like mobitization of geographic data
• 3)      Like finding lost ones with the help of mobile and GPS.
• 4)      When user can have access to location, direction information at their fingertip

I wrote this article for making entry into the www.vodafone.in/fun contest, but I know that I have gone into opposite direction at some extent.
