World environment day

Today is World Environment Day. A day we stop and introspect about the environment that sustains human life. A time to introspect on how we can treat it more responsibly for our own good. The choice is really ours....

We could have a city green and environment friendly like the photo below signifies....

(the photo above was taken at the small park in downtown Bangalore - park in front of Mayo Hall and Bangalore Central mall. Its green as green can be amidst all the air pollution of the vehicular emissions).

Or we could be irresponsible and pollute the city with effluent waste that is untreated and causes health hazards by affecting the water table around.


(photo of the great Bangalore Nala. This picture was shot less than 30 meters from the Gopal Admirality apartment complex. The stench from the Nala is unacceptable.)

Or we could cave into selfish commercial interest and pollute the city while seriously endangering the climate and weather in our city. Temperatures have gone up by 5-7 degrees in last 5-6 years. Is this what we all deserve?


(the above photo was shot on Outer ring road between Hennur road and Hebbal. This lorry is poorly maintained but used for commercial gain. The owners of this lorry have an armada of vehicles around 15-20 of them. If this isn't irresponsible behavior what is?)

The choice is really ours to make. You and me.

Don't neglect the environment! Let us make a difference in our own small way today. Or it could become too late to save it.

Fisherman trawl Hebbal lake

A regular sight at Hebbal lake. Fisherman trawl Hebbal lake with nets to get some catch!

When waiting at a traffic signal is FUN!!!

You would never think that stopping at a signal can be fun. It sure is at the cubbon road signal. If this greenery and color doesn't excite you what wil

Wouldn't you die to work here?

This is no resort. I promise! This is the view from the roof top of my work place. And of course no guess, I work in Bangalore. Wouldn't you love to work here? I do! The view from here simple relaxes my senses in my coffee breaks!

Magical skies at dusk over Hebbal

What a sight! It doesnt get better than this. And this is the best my camera phone could do to capture the magical skies at dusk over Hebbal (in Bangalore). The dark clouds waiting for the moment on the right over the high rises. A downpour breaking through on the left with sun light creeping through all this drama.... What a sight!

Bangalore they way we like it - green

What a wonderful sight! Green as green can be... I love driving by this service lane between Hennur road and Hebbal flyover. As green as it can be... Trees prividing great shade from the blazing sun... If only Bangalore could stay this way....

Spread your wings and fly high
