Let the birds be silent
Let the air be poisoned
Let every sound be tormenting
Let the light be dark.
Let my flower not bloom
And my days be gloom.
How aptly this expresses the emotions
that most of us strongly feel about.
Haven’t most of us come across a
situation where our train of thoughts
suddenly comes to a halt… Tujhko
banakarke lee jayenge Badri ki Dulhaniya.
Oh, I’m very sorry for the interruption. And
now you understand what I was talking
about. Our apartment is sandwiched
between two party plots. During the
wedding season, with the DJ playing at the
top volume such interruptions form my
immediate environment and cause noise
pollution.
A very good morning to one and all
present here. Today I, ___________am
here to present my views on the topic
“noise pollution” amidst you all.
The word ‘Noise’ is derived from the Latin
word ‘nausea’ which means feeling of
sickness at the stomach with an urge to
vomit. Very appropriate, wouldn’t you
agree? In this scenario, only humans are
responsible for noise pollution. Bursting
crackers and blaring music on
loudspeakers during festivals are the two
major pollutants causing distress in the
society.
The world is violent, my mind turns silent.
There is so much noise, that it can’t be
quiet.
As the rhythm of words, began humming
inside my ear
Let my pages be empty
And my colors be dry.
Let my words sound confusing
Let the sky fall to the ground.
Let me forget life as I know it
Let me just fantasize!
Saying different things that aren’t clear
Oh dear….. All those words clogged inside
and I do nothing.
We can’t escape noise but there are ways
to prevent it.
We can shut the door after we turn on
dishwashers or washing machines for
rooms where it is kept so that overlapping
of exposure to loud noises can be reduced.
Use of earplugs or earmuffs can bring
down loud noises to manageable level.
Noise producing industries, airports,
vehicles should be far from residential
areas as it very dangerous for infants and
senior citizens. Community law should
check use of loudspeakers, outdoor parties
as well as political public announcements.
We can plant more trees as they are good
noise absorbents. According to studies it
can reduce noise by 5 to 10 decibels
around them. We can notify to
government agencies if someone is not
following rules and regulation regarding
noise levels.
We are in an abusive relationship with the
earth- we do so much to control it but so
little to care for it. It is high time we take
some concrete action and launch a
campaign in which more and more people
be involved so that it is not one man’s job-
it is something where all of us are actively
involved and we learn to take the onus of
our actions.
Let us take a pledge to be a part of the
solution; not be a part of the pollution!
