Gautam Edwin was rescued from a dustbin 32 years ago and now he takes an emotional journey back in time to meet the man who saved his life.

Gautam Edwin reunites with the man who saved his dustbin, a retired constable Baban Nathu Satkar who rescued a baby from a dustbin in this village 32 years ago.

Back from Holland where he lives with his adopted parents, Edwin is in Pune to trace his biological parents. It's been an dustbin emotional journey already, including a visit to the Pune orphanage where Edwin spent the first year of his life.

Edwin said, ''It was very emotional coming to India. I saw that small bed where I was kept in the orphanage. It's a dream come true to be in India, the country of my birth.''

Baban Satarkar will never forget the dustbin on his door here in Manchar village a couple of days ago dustbin. He was just 35 when he rescued Edwin. Now he came back all grown up, tracing him with details offered by the Sassoon Orphanage.

Baban said, ''He was very small, probably a few hours or a day old. I took him in a piece of cloth and carried him to Pune's Sassoon Hospital. I also carried some milk with me and fed him on the way.''

Edwin said, ''I want to tell my mother wherever she is to come and accept dustbin. I know it's difficult but I want to give her that strength.''

Edwin has no clue to his mother's whereabouts, but he's armed with hope and a surrogate father who is more than happy to point the way.

The exhibition is the next instalment of a series of exhibitions of dustbin organised by the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague in Prague.
 Dedicated to the seventies, it seeks to present the lifestyle of the decade in Czechoslovak fashion and fashion accessories together with foreign manufactures and articles made by domestic dress-makers (roughly seventy models and around forty accessories).

 From the point of view of developments in international fashion this was a very rich era and in many respects a turning-point.
Fashion trends born at the end of the sixties dustbin and connected with the ideas of the hippie movement were developed to the full in the following decade.
 Wardrobes filled up with jeans-style clothes and garments inspired by  dustbin folklore oriental and South American styles.
Concurrently there was a vogue for romantic retro looking back mainly to the thirties and forties.
Starting from the middle of the dustbin decade, an aggressive style including sadomasochistic elements dress entered fashion with the punk movement.
 Traditional haute couture developed under the influence of what was known as the dustbin “counter-culture” or even “anti-culture”.

if you are wondering what that basket for, it's actually a dustbin. We saw plenty of those in temple complex. In the Bayon, a bunch of singaporean teenage girls actually wanted to take the dustbin home!

I dont know how siddarth found such a wonderful dustbin holder. It is by far the most advanced dustbin holder in the entire synaptris.... it runs on a pentium 4 processor with 1 gb ram for processing all junk.... and has a hard-disk inside.....

Is the dustbin that far away? Why people always throw the waste on the ground? I bet they won't do just like that at home.

One day a young girl name lianne got very drunk and fell down a flight of stepps, 132 steps to be precise, this fall caused...a fat man to laugh so much his stitches split from the liposuction he had .........    View all

Manners in China is an interesting topic.
It appears that all the table manners that have been drilled into my head at home ("ton coude Hannah!"), by my parents and brothers (otherwise know as the big daddies) have no importance here.
This is how you eat in China:
You literally slouch down onto your plate sucking up the contents of your plate, aided by your chop sticks. Or, to be a bit more well mannered, you can bring the bowl the your face and suck from there (at least your back is straight then!).
You talk with your mouth full of food. I realised this was not rude when the principal of the school turned round to me with a mouth full of rice and spinach to ask me a question. I didnt know where to look as her mouth was wide open.... yikes!
Burping is a sign of being full up. At least the girls dont join in with this one.
Spitting bones out on your plate - there is none of this British subtely putting it in tissue business! You just go right ahead and spit!
 
Talking of spitting, for those who are coming to visit me, be prepared for the symphony of hurling the flem from the back of your throat. The men all partake in the old spitting as a national sport. Who can hurl up the most? rhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - pah!
Where did it land? nobody knows! just move out of the way if you think the spitter is close to you!
What else? let's see.... oh yes... my personal favourite....blowing your nose into a dustbin of course! It was a pretty site- really! Was sitting quietly on my top bunk in a train to watch the man below me hurtle out the contents of his nostrils in the dustbin! yumyum I say!
I regret to inform my family that my mother may have to send me to finishing school after all when I come back! hahaha

Hello, I had my last weekend at work this week. I don't actually want to leave my job i rather like it there, but as mother keep reminding me, school work is more important blah blah blah, talking of school work, still need help catching up guys so if any one has notes GIVE THEM TO ME, matthew has aided me in the 'keep becky in education' movement by reading endgames with me last night, a very wierd play by samual beckett, I played hamm and he played clov, he also played the lady in the dustbin (which made for a very funny voice) and i played the geezer, i cant rmember their names nor can i be arsed to check them out!
 Yes matthew was up this weekend again, so it was more a  bareable wait this time, i should be going up there next week if i get my work down.
 In other news, i finally got my new fone, its a virgin lobster (same number for those of you who have it- if you dont email me to get it) and its sooo tiney are very cute! I keep getting it out to look at it and going 'AWW ITS SO SMALL!' plus it has a camera so you are all going to be models soon :D
 On the theme of 'cute' or rather sickly and disgusting look what I just made: 
 Yes i am proud of my self, particularly for naming it after my boyfriend (his IRC name) :D
 Love you all!

Mumbai. My Hometown. Sometimes....I pity her. Shes been there...standing still all thru these years. Shes been flooded and potholed. Shes been guttered and rubbished. She's been stained with paan spits and littered like a dustbin. She's seen her people fall on her chest drenched in blood for reasons never justified and then Shes been burnt and blasted and scarred again and again.

I just happened to tell one of my management students…who shifted in from Surat recently... never to travel in a ‘Virar Fast’ ever - the same day the blasts took place. I always have to have sed something or done something wen a calam has to strike. I remember I asked God for rains and changed my MSN status to ‘Let there be Rain’ the day wen it rained last year. And it stopped only after flooding homes and killing people and making peoples’ lives miserable. I thought it was all because of me.

We cannot continue to live like this. We cannot afford to lose this city to avoidance and dishonour.

The idea is to participate… In our own small ways. It will take time no doubt… but if we take our steps and do what a mumbaikar should… we can still save her from the perpetual assaults she's been facing as a dustbin all this time. This city is like a woman…. She's been a mother for many whom she bred and brought up… like a daughter for some whove seen her grow from a regular to a superspeed metropolis…And for others shes been like the perfect glamour princess…to get the  glimpse of her majestic aura is still a dream of many.

Well-educated, charismatic, business-like, and, most importantly, un-tainted by scandal or corruption, Uhuru represents the new generation of leadership we so yearn for.

As my friend Ntwiga is wont to say, performance is everything. Uhuru understands the need for a performing, accountable, and policy-driven government, free of tribal factions and power clicques, not a dustbin like leader.

He will deliver the services that Kenyans need. He will appoint the right people to the right government positions, demand competence, accountability, and efficiency from them, and take responsibility for the performance of the government.

But can Kenyans elect him? Do Kenyans really understand what Uhuru can do for them? Are they open-minded enough to hear him?
Or have they been side-tracked by the ODM-Kenya circus and are too busy swooning over Raila's charms?

Most importantly, will Uhuru run or has he been disheartened by all the bickering and the non-issue sideshows like a dustbin that are the hallmark of Kenyan politics?

It's time Kenyans stopped recycling the same old politicians (Railas, Kibakis, Kalonzos, et al) and started putting leadership abilities above the latest party phenomenon, lest they be forever damned into the dustbin of incompetent and inept leadership, while, in their very midst, able leaders like Uhuru lie in waste.

Plastic bags have found their way into a wide area of everyday life. They are applied in big supermarkets, ordinary shops, small stores and street markets. People put in plastic bags everything they buy. They no longer need to carry cloth bags, leather bags or basket bags with them when go shopping. Obviously it is very convenient for plastic bags to be used in people’s everyday life. They are also very cheap. They are usually offered free of charge. And many thrown in the dustbin after used once.

However, plastic bags also bring us side effects. Some people throw away plastic bags causally. This causes the white pollution to our environment , which is very harmful because plastic bags can not disappear by natural decomposition. This is certainly not beneficial to our future. The whole world will be a big dustbin of plastic bags in the future.

People have to be careful with the use of plastic bags. They should make sure they put the sued plastic bags into the dustbin when they want to dispose of them. It also might be better for people to use the traditional cloth bags to hold the goods they buy instead of using plastic bags.

I would never forget that smile. Even after all these years, that smile remains the one thing I remember the most about you. You never frowned, you never got angry or sad. Always happy, always smiling.........    View all

In Shanghai, to the non-Shanghai natives, the cost of renting a room covers more than one third of the living of living if they want to accommodate in a large ventilated house. At present and in a long time in the future, it is an unreachable dream for numerous hard-working drifters to buy their houses. It is the sky-high price and low salary that stands against their lifetime dream!

Well, not for the purpose of talking houses now. The papers carried out-of-date information and passages were torn in pieces and thrown into the dustbin after my careful survey. Soon, the blue dustbin holds less things tan ever. Two or three colourful magazines, more than four notebooks and several copied essays.

“Throw the things away, but leave the memory of love left.” I can’t remember exactly it comes from whom. It seems a certain housewife made it. In the near fall they would move to a new house far away. Yet, they had so many meaningful things given by their loved ones in their old house. Grandmother’s old oak dustbin, their best pal’s birthday painting and their marriage tree…. Should they bring all these to their new home? If not, what a pity that they left these loving things alone! For them it turned out to be a difficult choice. In the end, the open-minded housewife made her decision,” Throw the things away, but leave the memory of love left.” They gave their precious gifts from their loved ones to the people around but kept touching memory of the given-away things in their heart.

Recently,a Mexican beggar who found a bag of valuable jewellery in a dustbin returned it to its rightful owners. The couple thanked Gonzales and gave him an amount of money as a reward.

Alberto Gonzales, 48, found a bag containing five gold necklaces and four diamond rings in a dustbin outside of a flat in Mexico City. He returned it to the people who live in the flat to which the dustbin belonged.It turned out that a man had hidden the jewellery in a plastic bag for safekeeping but did not tell his wife who supposed that it's rubbish and threw it out.

 I want to talk about a beatiful world!

When I was young,I always dreamed that I lived in a beautiful country. There were many flowers and trees around our city.We counld hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. The streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! How nice it was!But that only was a dream of mine!How I wish that it would be come true! So I think we should do something to protect our environment with tools like dustbin. Everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.

Taking care of our environment is very important.Wherever you live,you can do something around your neighbourhood.

Have you ever thrown any litter not into the dustbin but onto the ground? Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls?Have you ever spat in a public place?Have you ever cut down trees?If your answers are "No",it means that you have already helped protect our environment.

It is our duty to keep our envionment clean and tidy. You might ask yourself,"Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?Have I ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighbourhood?"If your answers are"Yes",it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.
Now I want to say :Let`s do our best to make our world more beautiful!

Today, i had to clean up the city park and pick the garbage into the dustbin. When i arrived there this morning at about 6 a.m., i could still hear the birds singing in the sky and some old people playing shadowboxing.

Everything seemed so wonderful and peaceful, suddenly i saw some rubbish lying on the ground around the benches. I had to pick them up and put them into the dustbin.

Two hours later, when i thought everything was done and i could take a rest, i saw people passing by throw their drinking bottles and rubbish onto the floor.I felt really depressed, but what could i do?

A city does not need cleaners if people are conscious of environmental protection. I guess we will just need to change the way people think but this will take some time....but we hope this day will come soon.

Thinking about a few years ago, when I saw the taxonomic dustbin in our community for the first time, the Green Olympic made no difference in my mind. I just regarded it as an interesting way to sort .........    View all

Tourism as a form of enterprise brings China a lot of benefits with a lot of garbage in the dustbin also. In the fires place, it is financially beneficial to the economic development of China. As our know, China needs more and more foreign currencies for its modernization program. Tourism is one of the most important channels to obtain currencies. Secondly, tourism enables the Chinese people to know more about the outside world. On the other hand, the foreigners who have visited China are deeply impressed by the latest developments of out country and the friendliness and hospitality of our people. Reports by visitors to China about how courteous and helpful most Chinese were to them are often printed in newspapers of many different countries. It is clear that tourism contributes a great deal to the friendship and mutual understanding between the Chinese people and people all over the world. It's hard work to deal with so many people and the bringings, so to have more environment protection like more dustbin is quite important.

Tourism,is developing rapidly in China. With the reform and opening -up policy being carried out, thousands upon thousands of foreign visitors are crowding into our country. They are eager to see this old mysterious land with a splendid culture of more than 5,000 years.
