Bangalore - The city of gardens…truly a pleasure being to the place. It is indeed very green and lushy inspite of the Bangalorians complaint about the fading greens!
I could notice that domestic plants…trees may be the right word are nurtured and there is a huge green, flowery tree in front of most of the houses. What else can you expect after returning home, a place devoid of pollution?
Bangalorians seem to be convicted about saving themselves from the raw claws of pollution…in other words, saving Mother Earth! They are keen are making the city green, green and green!
Every ride on the road with huge shading trees on either side of the road was a feast to my eyes. I can seldom find such a sight in Hyd. (Mind you! nothing to degrade, but lets accept the bitter facts about our home). I wish such green awareness spreads to Hyd and we turnout not only as city of pearls but as trees and gardens!
The other day, in one of the Jubilee Hills lanes, I could see some tree felling activity going on in the wake of “Road Widening”. Why on earth, can’t these guys ever lay roads on either side of a tree, than lay it off!
It takes decades for a plant to mature as a giant and these folks are killing it in few moments. Its seriously Heartbreaking and worse part is I couldn’t do anything about it!

hmm how true .. if it were any place of worship instead of a tree .. there would be a lot of planning and finally the road widening plan would either be abandoned or they would construct the road arnd it (i do believe in God as much as any other person)..November 26, 2008 at 4:32 AMaww..u r so true....as an environmentalist..i feel i should axe the person who does the same with trees...huhh
