A. By the time our delayed train reached and I disembarked with my father and baby Lavanya, it was well past midnight. It was cold, dark and foggy. My husband, Manas, who was to receive us, was nowhere in sight. Soon, the platform become deserted. Then, a burly man approached us and offered to carry our bags. He wasn't wearing the usual porter's red shirt and tag, and though I was wary, my father decided to hire him. Leaving Lavanya and me with the man, my father went to look for Manas. I took a closer look at the man and felt apprehensive. He was big and hairy, his face was pock-marked and his eyes looked bloodshot. Just then Lavanya, who had been sleeping in my arms, awoke and turned to look at the porter. He gave her a playful smile and held her closer. But she smiled back and twisted herself out of my arms into his. Now I was really scared. What if he ran away with my baby? He must have sensed my fear and before I reached out to take Lavanya back, he handed her to me. Turning around, he mumbled that though everyone was scared of him, yet my innocent baby had accepted him. His eyes had tears in them. I didn't know what to say.

If you have a fashionable suntan, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have lots of outdoor activities, but it does mean that you're in greater danger of getting skin cancer and cataracts. The ozone layer, which protects us from the sun's dangerous ultra-violet rays, is progressively deteriorating. In 1985, the news of the destruction of the ozone layer over the South Pole alarmed people in the Canada, Northern Europe and Russia were in serious danger. In Australia, there are now three times more cases of skin cancer than in the past. In New Zealand, teachers tell schoolchildren to wear hats and not to sit in the sun. What causes the destruction of the ozone layer? Mostly Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Aerosal sprays, refrigerators, air conditioners, as well as industrial chemicals, send Chlorofluorocarbons Governments are now trying very hard to forbid CFCs, but it will be expensive and difficult to do so. After the first ozone alarm in the southern hemisphere, ecologists all over the world asked governments to take strict measures immediately. Some governments did, but not soon enough. Other countries believe that they have other problems which are more important. Now stricter measures are going to be taken, but already a lot of damage has been done.
