Switching off lights for earth hour

I had switched off all the electrical equipment at home for an hour between 8.30 p.m and 9.30 p.m on 27th March, 2010 to show my support for earth hour

I not only switched off all lights at home, but also messaged more than 50 friends and relatives to do the same. A few called back to say that they did the same. Some called up to say that they switched off everything but kept TV on and a few switched off everything except one light as they had small kids at home.

As it was quite hot inside the house (since all fans were off), we all went out for a walk. I was happy to see that a few people in my area were doing the same. Some had switched off all lights and were sitting on the front porch.

I am too excited with this .....

I am too excited since I have read this ....

smiley moon

Yesterday (1st Dec 2008), we could witness a smiling moon. I wish I had a good camera to capture it. I was crippled with my 3X optical zoom camera. I had to switch on the additional 4X digital zoom to get a hazy image of moon. I just wished that I had a better camera and a tripod.

Venus and Jupiter have appeared side by side in the evening sky over the past week or so, but yesterday was the best night to see the "face" appear. I was told that this happens very occationally (once in 4 years). I called up a few friends so that they could watch it too. The kids were delighted to see this.





Because my hand shook, the moon laughed instead of a smile
