Story of an old man goes this way! A young boy saw an old man planting a mango tree on the roadside.
The young boy asked, 'Uncle, what foolishness are you doing? It would take several years for this plant to become a tree and bear fruits on it; by that time, you would probably be no more"

The old man replied; "Son, I know that I would die soon and would never get to eat a fruit from this tree, but tell me something, by the time you grow up and when you want to eat mangoes with friends, where will you go for it? That is why I'm doing this, this is for you and not for me"

When Karunakaran sir was teaching this story on the 1st standard of N.S.S LP school in choorakode, I did hardly understand the meaning behind it. But now today, in the midst of recession, global warming and Tsunami, the moral of such a story becomes the only hope. Switching off lights for 1 hour wouldn't save us from the threatening power shortages and immediate death of natural resources. But this can serve a strong message to thousands of minds, reminding them of this great duty they are otherwise about to miss, doing for their future generations!

Once again, let's switch off and pass the message!
