Eco-Friendly Ganesh idols

Every year, there is a rush to buy the "most beautiful Ganesh idols", that incidentally are made of Plaster of Paris. Therefore, these idols, when immersed (during the visarjan) do not decompose properly. Hence, the next day, there are many broken idols that get washed onto the shores of various beaches, lakes & ponds. Since I am part of The Children's Movement for Civic Awareness, that has been included in the  curriculum for the 8th Std., I urge you to bring home these Eco-Friendly Ganesh idols, which don't harm the environment, and look good too.Ganesh Chaturthi in 2009 is on Sunday, the 23rd of August.

That is till they found out that a single bite was enough to kill an elephant.

Shikhar Gupta, 20, and his friends were 'hanging out' after college on Thursday afternoon, when they noticed three little snakes. Intrigued by the tiny snakes, Gupta and his friends playfully picked them up and put them in a bottle.

‘the yellow chilli’ reviewed by deepakv

As soon as i got to work after a long lunch break at the Yellow Chilli, i just HAD to add the place to the burrp directory and review it - it was really that good!
