Pollution and Power Saving.... Does it go together?

Hi, I was driving along a very busy road. Sion - Trombay Road... And I came across this huge installation with lots of lights... presumably some "mela"... a fun-fair going around in the K. J. Somaiya Hospital grounds near Everad Nagar... This fair has HUGE installations of lights.. and so much so that the amount of power spent can bring lights to a lot of our farmers, citizens and other industrial units that go under brunt of load shedding...

Did someone say that Mumbai had a shortage of Power? Did we hear someone talk about "Power Saving"... There are slogans of "Power On, India On"...

I will post a picture of this event in a couple of days (I tried to capture it on my mobile, its so dazzling that my 1.3 megapixels camera phone did not catch it!! )...

Are we wasting too much power when we go carefree celebrating the New Year... ???

Are we taking the city for granted ???

Are we awake ???

Are we out of our dream-world.. ???

Making a "Shanghai" out of Mumbai is a long dream... First lets save enough for our kids...
