• #WDYS : A grey world

  

  A mild cold wave swept over Dhaka on January 3rd. The temperature fell to 11 degrees C. We couldn’t see the sun for a week. Apparently, this is the coldest it has ever been here…yet another sign of climate change or global warming. The picture was taken at 7.00 a.m. on the 8th of January…

• Ravan and I in 2019

  

  I wrote this poem in memory of the Aarey Forest tree-felling in Mumbai. The story is that the Mumbai Metro needed to cut 2185 trees to make a car shed.

• Bangalore’s Trees – Keep Bangalore Alive

  

  Bangalore Days If you’ve lived or live in Bangalore, you most certainly love the gardens and trees around you and  the cool Bangalore clime. You detest the traffic, the cutting down of trees and the constructions happening around the city and you crib every single day about the rising temperature, increasing pollution, constructions, flyovers that…
