Expiry of Water | Shekhar Arena

 You are enjoying a day off in a park and suddenly you feel thirsty. You pick a bottle of water from a store and drink that water. We all do this a lot on regular basis. What if I tell you this water is expired?

Does water expire? There is no expiry of water but the plastic bottle in which it is packed can cause a lot of problems for us. Assuming how? Let us explain.



What these plastic bottles does to water is wrong. From getting produced in factories, delivered to markets and till the time we consume this water, it takes approximately 2-3 months. Water stays in these bottles for this long time. Experiments show that this water becomes acidic in nature. This is indicated by PH value.

What's PH value? PH i.e., Potential of Hydrogen is a scale used to determine the nature i.e., whether something is acidic, basic or neutral. 

PH value of normal water-6.5-8.5 This is slightly alkaline and mostly neutral.

PH value of this bottled water: 4, acidic in nature and consuming acidic water is very bad for our health.

  These plastic bottles release an industrial chemical called Bisphonel-A (BPA). When we consume this water, it mixes with a hormone oestrogen present in our body due to which a lot of body problems can occur-Diabetes, obesity and even infertility.

 We leave these bottles unattended in our vehicles and other places. When it comes in contact with sunlight and gets warm, a toxin is released called Dioxin, This toxin can cause several critical diseases like Breast Cancer. 


 According to a Reuters report, 10 lakhs of bottled water is bought every minute by us. We can think of how fast these diseases can spread. Now you can say, what is the alternate to this water?

Majorly, None!

But there is a lot we can do on personal level so the use of these bottles can be reduced and we can opt for more eco-friendly alternatives.

Let us know what possible solutions you can think of. We will talk about the solutions in upcoming blog.

    I can say that the water bottle in which water is packed in a factory is very harmful for people.This is because of in factory the quality of water is bad when it is in fix in a bottle.this is due to in factory when people are bringing water in a factory water is pure for drinking and safe for people also.another is that the machine can damage the water when it is in factory for giving in a bottle and harmful for people also.so i am saying that the natural watee is pure for drinking of people.

      Yes, natural water is always better but it is not readily available. We can use other alternative bottles instead.

    Nice article Himanshu. I would suggest to carry Tupperware bottles if you prefer to you plastic. Otherwise the best would be the old way i.e. steel, copper, bronze bottles.

A letter to Jersey No. 7 | The Captain Cool!

Dear Maahi, A very Happy Birthday! Hope you are doing fine. 'Dhoni finishes off in style, a magnificent strike into the crowd. India lifts the World Cup after 28 years. The party starts in the dressing room and it's an indian captain who's been absolutely magnificent in the night of the final'. I can feel this entire comment, it's  not a comment any more. This is a letter from a not so typical cricket lover to a living legend. I want to let you know three of the many things I have learnt from you. 1. There is always more time than you think.  I personally believe statistics tell it all. You have been not out 50 times in ODI, out of these 50 ocassions-India won 47 matches. You have always lived this lesson. 2. Don't think of what'll happen in next 20/30 years. Plan about what are we going to do tomorrow or, a day after. You have always exhibited the subtle art of doing more and expecting less. I believe this  is a solution to multiple issues of our...

Solitude and Loneliness

Don't you think the root cause of most of our problems is the underlying loneliness that most of us experience in our daily lives today. Let's analyse what is the reason behind and derive some practical solution to this. Basically there are two situations i.e, loneliness and Solitude. In loneliness, you are alone and worried about having no one by your side while solitude is experiencing a whole new world when you are alone. You experience happiness when you are alone. You don't need a second person to be happy. The root cause of our emptiness is that our foundation for living is based on lies. We are stuck in the loop of lie spread by ourselves only and continue exhibiting dual personality. Actually we try to complete our emptiness through other things, actions and relationships (people)- don't we? As a consequence, we become more dependable on those things, actions or people. This dependency could be at physical, psychological, financial or even at mental level....
