The most important reason why we exist on earth is water ....still we really don't respect it...and take it for granted.
The summers approaching real quickly and water shortage will soon become a part of our daily living, we really need to understand the fact about water and its characteristics...the free flowing nature, the ability to manoeuvre and make its own course and so on and so forth....enough indications to make it a potential killer!!
Will water one day become an essential commodity to be traded on different foreign exchanges like metals and pulses??
I came across this concept by Shekar Kapur for his next film PAANI, which he has been contemplating for long now, a situation in a town from future where there is a single,only a single source of water.
Hold your breath coz now i reveal the name of the town.....
The town is MUMBAI....and god forbid if a town of this magnitude is hit by a crisis like this, it will blow away itself into shreds.....coz of omnipresent water?!!!
Supposedly available for everyone...70% of Earth’s surface is covered by water....and the glaciers melting and all the statistics indicating that the world would drown under water...and then we have water shortages and other water related deadly diseases and all...damn this Hippocratic statistics...!!!
Basically, either ways we are screwed.....
CONSIDER THIS:
Scene :
" As the little girl running towards camera gets shot from behind, she screams her last words " Water is our right - it is not for sale" As she falls, through the dust you barely make out the uniform of the man that shot her. He wears a blue helmet that states "UN Water Force"
Powerful is all I can say......!!!
