SHIT!!

Recently, during my trip to Munnar I read an article in the local newspaper.

A certain group of a 6th semester Engineering students were about to do a mini project for the college.
It went like this: apparently in Munnar 350 tones of elephant shit gets deposited. Why? Why...I mean why do you want to gauge shit? 350 tones of what....SHIT...Why in the world are you cared about SHIT? Ok...that’s just for starters. (I don’t know how the hell these people would’ve measured this SHIT)

Ok....now, they want to RECYCLE the SHIT.

I SHIT you not....!!..They wanted to recycle it!!!

And how...they would wash the dung (thank me for being decent) to finer particles because apparently the dung contains some kind of particles that help in generating electricity. Now they are so desperate for electricity that they have turned their interest on feces of animals. Amongst all the clouds, the lovely Eastern Ghats, the never ending tea plantations, rain and overpriced food in the resort, I was there laughing over that report.

Well I think there are more serious issues in Munnar than using dung as a product of generation of electricity. Elephants are less in number. There is a significant drop in the number of elephants in all over Kerala. If you ask me, I think that’s more important. But, humans would be humans; they would always try to exploit everything in the world, no wonder if it is SHIT. Next time I visit Munnar I might probably hear news of these engineers who would plug in cables in their assholes and claim on this being a way to produce energy.

I'm sorry for sounding like a grumpy old man. However, my views on this has changed as I do believe that is a beneficial venture. Forgive me, I was a kid. :)
