Dear Mr. Arun Deshpande,
Your interview on MADHURA (dtd. 13th Oct 2011) was illumination for all the viewers who were lucky to watch the programme.
A totally different view point on the subject
Am I right in thinking that like air, the water also gets recycled again and again over period of time & that virtually, our forefathers used the same water in their life time which we are using today.
Can we therefore say that the water gets transformed in to various forms during all the processes in the universe & could be considered as a catelist in various processes, Thus, water does not get consumed theoretically & that the total vu\irtual water content in the universe in all the forms would remain constant??
Could you please comment on the above.
