Its Hot!
Hi:
Whats hot? No reference to the hep & happening in the City. No references to the City babes (sorry..all you guys out there:)). Its literally the heat, the temperature over the past few days in my beloved city. Yesterday it might have easily been 32-34 degrees in bangalore. Ok.. so what its the same in Goa..hotter in Chennai..but thats not the point.
The Bangalore I knew, never had this heat, it was green & full of shady trees. Before you start guessing, i'm one of the true blue banglorean but no..not 60-70 years old who think of the 'good old days'. In fact i'm one of the young brigade working in IT and brought up in Bangalore. One of the priveleged few who had seen the Church Steet with only houses, the old Majestic Bus Stop, development of BTM Layout, Koramangala, Indiranagar.
But whats happening now.. Depletion of Green Belt, New Extensions with no side walks(foot paths). More Flyovers .. i mean flyover constructions..choking the now huge traffic.. how can a city cope so much & stay cool! No wonder its hot!
Cmon this blog is not a tirade - or a debate - some ideas to improve the city go a long way. Atleast at an individual basis, you & me can do this i guess.
1. Everyone out there is building a house. Plan for Green Space..dont be hungry for concrete structures. Plant atleast 2 shady trees.
2. Plan for a garage. But dont cement out the basement and build a elevated structure.
3. Yes, everyone needs a borewell.. but lets not dig deep, we'll deplete the ground water.
4. Start walking short distances.. awareness of area and its conditions will increase.
5. Check pollution on the your vehicles. Lets not give our share of the pollution.
More ideas welcome.. lets improve our hitech city look cool:)
