Unsolved!
‘Unsolved Mysteries’ in
the July issue made for
an interesting read. It
reminded me of the
Malaysian airlines flight
MH370 that vanished

‘Live Your Dream’ is an excellent example of
how strong willpower, perseverance and the
desire to achieve your goal can lead to success.
The inspiring story of Mala Dutt can galvanize
women who may have had to abandon their
academics and careers. The social norms that
confine women need to change. They must
come forward to live their dreams rather than
be reticent. And for those who feel handling
education and family are demanding, Mala Dutt is
a glowing example. Not to forget Shukla Lal, who
reminded me of Colonel Sanders, who started the
KFC restaurant chain when he was 62 years old.

to share. We store waste
water from water filters,
or after washing vegeta-
bles or rice, for bathroom
cleaning. We are now try-
ing to find a way to har-

the washing machine

flush tanks in wash-
rooms. We can categorize
water usage and use re-
purposed or fresh water
depending on the need.
Each of us following this
will make a big difference.
We must remember:
Water is life.
—K. Lahari, HyderabadRajendra Singh has
beautifully explained
the need for saving the
world’s most precious
commodity today—
water. Between drop-
ping water tables,
diminishing rainfall,
shrinking glaciers and
misuse of river water,
the situation is grim.
Recycling of sewage
and industrial effluents,
rainwater harvesting
and regulation of water
use are some steps we
need to take. Installing
