Eco-Champion: How to lead a sustainable lifestyle

Sustainability is all about making choices that help preserve the planet and its resources for future generations. There are many ways that individuals can make sustainable choices in their daily lives to help reduce their environmental impact.   One simple way to be more sustainable is to reduce energy consumption. This can be done by turning off lights and appliances when they're not in use, using energy-efficient appliances, and unplugging electronics when they're not being used. Another way to reduce energy consumption is to use public transportation, carpool, bike, or walk instead of driving alone.   Another important aspect of sustainability is reducing waste. This can be done by recycling, composting, and avoiding single-use plastics. It's also important to buy products that are made from sustainable materials and are produced in an environmentally friendly way.   Another way to be sustainable is by consuming less meat.

STORY ABOUT MUSIC

           Every time I go to a musical concert(classical) i wonder how this beautiful art-form was formed.
How were so many Ragas formed of just the seven basic notes?? And what are SA RI GA MA PA DA NI ??? and how were they formed???
          I got all these questions answered by my grandmother who explained me how everything was formed. So here is the piece of information that i am sharing here.

      During Pralaya,the great deluge,the Vedas flowed out of Brahma's mouth and fell into the sea.Brahma panicked.How could he create without the Vedas?? He went to lord Vishnu seeking for help. So,Vishnu took the form of fish(Matsya avatar,the first avatar of lord Vishnu  because he had to dive into the ocean to find the Vedas.
      After the Vedas were retrieved Brahma began working on creation again.The Vedas were four in number,RIG,YAJUR ,SAMA ,ATHARVANA. Out of these SAMA Veda was and is still being sung.The story of music all began with the Sama veda. But it was totally different from what we sing now. There were oly 3 notes in the beginning.

      There were only RI- Rishabha,NI- Nishadha,SA-Shadja. Gradually the other notes arrived.First was GA and DA and then Ma and PA.

       The seven had now joined to form a musical scale,perhaps the first in the musical history of mankind.First there was SA,NI,RI, then GA and DA and finally MA and PA. This is known as SARGAM, which is singing the notes instead of the words.

    Sahi darling... this I think might be a Legend abt Music.
    the rest of the notes cannot just arrive... it has to be there... after all the notes are jus frequencies...
    and SARGAM, the word is an acronym of the consonants of the first four swaras Sa Ri Ga Ma (source Wiki)

    Nice Info :) . Also there is one interesting fact that SA, RI, GA, MA, PA, DA, NI Converges to one sound "AUM". The science of music is bigger we may need combination of first 3 visnhu avatars to dig more information.
