Global Warming
and Fire Hazard
In this country, if
a forest fire starts, it is always arson, to hide tracks.
I am of the belief
that our Buddhist monks were the exponents of it, in the early
history of this country.
Most of our
prehistoric caves are named after ash (Alu Lenas) and they decimated
our prehistoric remnants.
This is true for
India too, that is why there is hardly any trace of prehistoric
man/woman.
The next reason is
to catch animal prey.
These guys beginning
of this year, set fire to part of Hantana Range behind the university
to catch rabbits.
The third reason is
the natural forest fire which is very rare in the wet zone.
Fourth is the
electric installations that catch fire after lightening.
The fifth is the
kitchen gas cylinders, left carelessly opened.
I was inhaling this
gas for few weeks in the night without knowing, sometime back due to
faulty cylinder.
Luckily
interruption of my sleep and bizarre (I do not dream and sleep
lightly) dreams alerted me to investigate.
One of my friends
house in UK was down to ash (I do not know the reason).
I have had
catastrophic incident in New Zealand where I had left the deep fat
fryer running all day and night while I was doing night duty (I was
without the family) in the hospital.
Then I can remember
entire Bangladeshi family dying due to leaking gas in UK.
This list can go on
and have no end note.
But the final note
here is indoor gadgets.
Just recently,
entire family lost its members to toxic fumes in this country.
These incidents will
peak with automatic and remote control gadgets use, instead of
commonsense.
I am using an
expensive surge protector (I was looking for a replacement and it is
not available) for my computers and it is coming to end of its life.
I forget to switch
the walls witch often.
Let me brief you
some of the things I did.
1. Multi-plug Surge
Protector (old)
2. My main computer
is like a Weask Lantern, with lot of diode lights in front and back.
Those bright lights
alert me if I drop to sleep inadvertently (rarely though).
3. Mosquitoes are my
third line of defense.
They keep me up at
night.
4. I keep several
indoor thermometers and check the temperature randomly.
If it is above 30
Centigrade I do not switch on the computer.
Just to save
electricity bill.
I have many cooling
fans installed in my main computer.
They consume as much
electricity as an electric kettle.
Briefly on the
electric kettle. It is always half full.
Every time a water
is boiled for making tea, the remaining water goes to a glass bottle.
This saves a lot on
electricity and there is always boiled cool water available for
drinking or douching a fire.
6. Plenty of water
in buckets.
They are for an
emergency if any one of my fish tanks breaks.
7. I am dismantling
all the expensive gadgets (it started with 9 computers) and use tiny
(taking a cue from cellphone, which is a minicomputer) gadgets for
storing data,photos,music,videos and listening to music and radio.
Currently, storing
all music titles, I love in a Flash Media Player which takes in a
MicroSD Card up to 32 Giga Bytes.
Almost my life
collection.
8. I am using the
principle Small is Beautiful” all my life.
It comes handy with
age catching up with my memory.
9. All the gadgets
are digital with a backup battery, if the electricity fails,which is
common with frequent lightening.
Our Electricity
Switch caught fire three or four times, sometime back and broke the
system into small units and breakers.
The geezer is the
biggest culprit for fire and your bill.
10. I do not watch
TV (habit I cultured during Ma Ra regime) not even cricket, and have
small Flash TV stick which I stick to the computer occasionally.
It consumes very
little electricity.
This is the only
time I switch on the Windows 8.
I have not used it
for sometime and I have forgotten the administrator password.
Sooner or later I am
going to erase (Windows 8) it.
Windows does not
have an energy saving mode by default.
So windows (BOX)
computer catching fire is very high in my estimate.
All these things won't help you if you have a BAD Memory.
I am affected by this malady and it is time for me to kick the bucket.
Remember meditation does not help your memory.
