28Th March 2009,Saturday, Time . 8.30.I was standing in my balcony after switching off ALL the lights at my home...and i was hoping that at least one of my neighbours would do that but none did.Yes, that was a Earth Hour and i was determined to follow it not just because Aamir khan advertised it, but as i felt it as my duty.
When i heard about the Earth Hour, i immediately made my mind to support it and advertise it too.Then next thing i did is of pulling my family members into it.At first, my dad argued with me that his NEWS are very much important and he would switch off lights but not TV. But, finally, after lots of arguments,i won the battle and made him to switch off the TV too.
Before 15 minutes, i sent a reminder to all my friends .Perfectly at 8.30, there i was in my balcony ,hoping for a Good clear sky view from my balcony if any of my neighbours cared to follow it.Then , there i saw one of my brother's friend passing by my house and so, decided to tell him about Earth Hour and oh my gosh, when i told him about it ,his first reaction was " It's not for us".......
How could they be sooo ignorant. Oh,such a ignorant youth our country have got. What i would say more about it? Ya, not all of them are same, some of friends told me afterwords that they followed it..That was some relief to me. At least, some of friends are cautious about the effect of light pollution.Indeed , It felt good and i got satisfaction that I followed EARTH HOUR.
Next year, i guess, i should advertise more. :P
