Billboard – Raffaello Palandri’s Blog

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

I would leave it empty for everyone with a note:

This empty billboard is yours as a canvas where to express your deepest, truest, and most intimate ideas, feelings, and goals. Never give up the freedom to choose your future.

When we have an opportunity to make other people’s lives better, let’s use it.

Behind The Green Lie of Sustainable Aviation Biofuel (SAF) – Palm Oil Detectives

“Sustainable” Avaiation Fuel (SAF) is a biofuel alternative to using fossil fuels for powering planes and cars. SAF is being aggressively marketed by multiple industries as a greener alternative to burning fossil fuels in cars and airplanes.

However, SAF is produced from food crops such as rapeseed, palm oil, soy and sugar cane. This requires vast swathes of land to grow. This also means mass deforestation of land that is rich in biodiversity, putting at risk already threatened animals and plants and indigenous peoples all over the world. Emissions from palm oil-derived biodiesel are three times higher than fossil fuel diesel. According to Transport & Environment EU food-based biodiesel leads to around 80% higher emissions than the fossil fuel diesel that it replaces. Read on to find out how you can take action…

अल्फाज़ / Words  – Kaushal Kishore

 

लिख चुका हूं बहुत, 

लिखे भी जा रहा हूं रोज, 

लेकिन अल्फाज़ खत्म नहीं होते; 

जैसे ही एक बात खत्म होती है, 

दूसरी शुरू हो जाती है,

सिलसिला कभी खत्म नहीं होता…

✍️✍️✍️

I have written a lot,

I keep writing every day, 

words never end; 

as one chapter concludes, 

a new one unfolds,

the process never ends…

Embracing Imperfection – Kaushal Kishore

 

What if flaws entwine me with subtle grace,

Silver strands may weave, leaving no trace…

A rounded midsection, its curves may mumble,

Compared to others, income meek and humble…

*

Striving for six sigma, a quest in vain,

Fix one flaw, while another takes the rein…

Perfection, an esoteric concept’s thread,

In life’s fabric, imperfections are spread…

*

Perfection’s touch is fleeting and rare,

The rat race infection, a constant snare…

Fear lurks, tugging from the lofty heights,

Stress ever-ready, joy’s delicate flights…

*

Embracing imperfection, life’s own design,

No stress holds sway, no fear to confine…

Navigating my path through the unknown,

Moments resonate, near-perfectly sown…

*

Acts and words may not be a pristine art,

But if they spark smiles, a perfect part…

Sharing joy’s echoes, in a reciprocal play,

Even in imperfect moments, a perfect day…

*

P.S. 

I share a video featuring a couple that always evokes emotions when I watch it. Is there anyone who could claim they are imperfect or unhappy? It’s true that happiness is a state of mind. Take a look and judge for yourself.
