Feel Like God :P

I was waiting at a signal near the entrance of the Koramangala to Domulur Intermediate ring road. There is a guy on pulsar honking.. though there is a red light. Gave him way so that he can go ahead.

There goes the green light, and i was planning a 100+ on the Rind Road. I thought i will cross the pulsar and let loose the Black Pearl. 100.... 110.... and it was still going great... i gave a little more gas and i was reaching 120 :O at this time i was almost near the Pulsar fella..... I was a little adventurous and gave a little more accelerator.... and went till 125Kmph... At this moment i started to feel a little scared and stopped. And i couldnt believe my self.... 125kmph on my Avenger.

Its an Awesome feeling :)

"Clean and Green" or "Clean the Green"

A few days back i was passing through CMH road after a long time, and was feeling something was different. Initially i couldn't get what the change was but there was something significantly different. Some emptiness which i could feel.

as i crossed Arya samaj it clicked to my mind that there used to be huge trees on either sides of the road which used to give lot of shade, and protect people when it drizzles. All the trees were missing.. when i keenly observed i can see the amputated trunks of those huge trees and there was a sharp pain in my heart. Why is man doing such things. Can the Bangalore Corporation grow such a tree again!!!! not one not two they have cleaned up all the trees on the whole stretch... either sides.

Somehow i wished i could have clicked a photo or two earlier just as a suvonier to the future generations that Bangalore in the year 2007 though overly populated and spoiled.. it was much better than the present days.

Will take a few snaps at least now, before the metro rail takes over the scene.

I have visited Bangalore as a child, Before coming to Bangalore 2 years ago i had the same old Bangalore in my mind which i have seen as a child. I could remember the talks of how it never used to sweat in Bangalore. How the summers were really cool than the rest of cities. How green the city was with trees on both sides. how it was called a garden city.

I know the city planners are working hard to get the city to a meaningful destination, but can only hope things they are doing are not just fund raising deeds for a few contractors.

But development at the cost of nature, is it really necessary? cant we have a workaround for solving the problems? I'm not good at solving this problem, its a major issues which needs to be considered from all the aspects and then acted upon. Hope cutting all those trees was a well thought decision else... its us who will be suffering in the coming future.
