To be honest, I am not one of the v socially conscious types - so v rarely will u see me posting about social issues. Now approximately 1-2 kms away from my apt is this huge natural lake -
Begur Lake. But with the surrounds being hardly developed, I would give it a cursory glance when we happen to take that road.
Imagine my surprise when a couple of weeks back, we drive along the road only to see the lake completely parched n dried! Supposedly a Lotta unmindful draining of water by Private tankers resulted in this. The residents around the area have now waken up and are trying their best to restore it ~~ Only time will tell if we can undo the damage You can read more about it
here.
This coupled with the dire water shortage I have been seeing around means that one thing I really have started caring about is "Water"! N errr cause I complicated the contest for myself by promising to put only pics I clicked - here is a pic (for the sake of it)

Sad...but guess not many people really understand the gravity of the situation.

Why is everybody posting about water today ????
ReplyDeleteAlthough the first pic is the best, I will go ahead and say the last one is equally good. Yes, this is something we all should care about. Water is the basic ingredient of life.

its really badly dried up :( I wish it gets restored. True message in the last
ReplyDeletewater every where but no drop to drink !
Conserving water is the need of the hour. Imagine a life without water... it is just not possible. Better late than never!
ReplyDeleteWater is becoming a scarcity in literal terms! Saving water is indeed the need of the hour
ReplyDeleteGod! It is unbelievable! In 2 something years, a lake full of water can be reduced to this parched land! So shocking!
ReplyDeleteHow can people do this? And how do they suppose things are going to be when all the water gets used up.. The water situation is truly scary, Meena.. SO many of us seem to have written about water.
This is the case of many lakes in and around cities.
ReplyDeletePeople are selfish, it never ceases to surprise me. Everything is a business.
ReplyDeleteI wish this lake would go back to its glorious days.
