Bangalore is home, this is where I grew up. Memories of Bangalore go back to when traffic lights were turned off by 9pm, winters were cold, the air was fresh and when sparrows randomly flew into our homes looking for grain.
It was a city of lakes and indeed a garden city, with canopies of rain trees which were home to thousands of birds.
Paradise is pretty much lost now, due to the inorganic growth of the city, lack of planning, corruption, land mafia, and mountains of garbage, to name just a few.
Our lakes are polluted beyond repair and catching fire, the number of respiratory diseases has increased, clean well water is a thing of the past and the butterflies have vanished.
Have we lost our paradise, our Bangalore?
