HELLO WORLD!!

-
Welcome to my blog everyone!!!

I am Meera Sanjiv
I am 12yrs old 
I live in Tamil Nadu which is a state in India
I hope that we all have interesting conversations here!


I write about issues that matter to me,not matter  just to me but also to the world - atleast it should matter to the world!

Today I will be writing about the Indian festival called Diwali 
(festival of lights)

Diwali is a festival where people go and visit their relatives and friends..
Now Diwali has become a festival of sound and pollution-WHY?!
Because people burst fireworks and this leads to sound and air pollution.
  • Young birds fall out of birds with sudden shock of the noise
  • Stray animals and pets get so frightened
  • People suffering from asthma, people who are sick won't be able to breathe.
  • There is also lot of child labour in the firework industry
  • kids working in places like this fall sick very easily and often...
Last year in Chennai the government said that after 10pm no fireworks were allowed but unfortunately our people did not follow the rules which is very wrong! Let's do better this time, people!

Not only on Diwali do they burst fireworks.. they also burst them on Christmas, on peoples birthdays and other religious celebrations...even after cricket and soccer matches- people use your brains and dont burst fireworks - Puhlease!!!

Today the good news is that Sainsburys supermarket in the UK has decided to ban the selling of fireworks so its not only India that I am talking about 
I named my blog Rebel with a Cause because I am always arguing with my mother - one day mom  said 'start arguing about important issues'

so here I am a blogging!( Here I am - camp rock*)
but mom, I won't stop arguing with you!!!!!!!!!!!

So don't let me down by bursting fireworks (dont let me down - chainsmokers*)
* song recomendations while reading this 




PS- Teuntje one of my good friends in Amsterdam inspired me to start a blog of mine.. here blog link is https://theevergreenteun.blogspot.com/
Thankss for the push 
I certianly want to share my wild thoughts with the world
Toodles!!!!!

Pedalling towards my Dreams

I was literally born cycling. At the age of two, I had a push cycle – then, a tricycle and soon, a cycle with training wheels! I often rode doubles on my parents’ bicycles - I loved looking at the roads of Bangalore, talking nonstop, holding onto the carrier or my mom’s t-shirt. At the age of 5, I moved to Amsterdam and the first thing my parents bought me was my first proper cycle. No training wheels!   I fell so many times but somehow, I just didn’t want to give up. I climbed back on every time. Then one day, while cycling I told my mom to not let go (as I would say every time) Suddenly, the people along the wooded path by the canals started clapping – I turned around to see my mother far behind me. I felt so happy and proud of myself! And from that day on, I was unstoppable, I was busting the streets, whether it was rain or shine! Biking 3 km to school and back every day. One thing I loved about Amsterdam was the entire city – even the country is connected by cycle paths

Yes, I know that Covid-19 has changed our lives a lot, however some of the changes are for the better.  Ever since the world has been on lockdown, I'm not sure if many of you have noticed that the air is cleaner and less polluted. In fact my mom and I have been going to the terrace everyday to get some exercise and, after sunset we are able to see more stars then usual because the air is cleaner! Why is the air cleaner? Easy! It's because there aren't so many vehicles on the road, so less fuel being used and lesser pollution. Actually my mom is asthmatic, (this is a condition where she can't breathe properly without the use of an inhaler). She hasn't used her inhaler for the past week, she says that she can breathe better than usual. Normally she would need to use her inhaler at least once a day. But now she doesn't have to and that is a good sign. How can we make sure that after the lockdown, we don't go back to our old polluting ways? Instead o
