Bengaluru's Trees


Dear friends...  esp living in almost anywhere in amchi Mumbai/North India, Gulf & beyond!
B’lore weather rocks!!! Today, it is overcast and very pleasant!

Have been going around the city, over the last two days. In spite of the traffic congestion, noise and dust, this city is so different, concrete to the other concrete urbanisation elsewhere. So many huge trees, right in the middle of the city. Thankfully, we have army cantonment right in the heart of the city. But trees are mostly in the ‘old’ city. Not so much in the localities, which have come up recently. We have been very rude to the environment by reducing the green-intensity L

Trees all over…!! But so many ads appear ‘on’ and ‘around’ the trees, with nails and metallic wires used to ensure the fliers stay on. We are very insensitive to the trees around us. Dear Bangaloreans, let us spare the trees to…. ‘JUST BE’ !

·      Let us derive the peace of a tree… standing tall and unperturbed by all the commotion around.

·      Let us be like a tree just helping us breath - not spread negativity

·      Let us provide shade, just as trees protect us from the heat of Sun.

Next time, when you are going around Blore city, don’t miss to say a silent thanks to the majestic trees of this garden city.
