It was a hot steamy evening
in the mid-july. Chennai has suffered the maximum heat in the past
few months and it is the period the summer started declining. Still I
can feel that it is hot. In front of that bakery I cannot resist it
and my sweat glands were always active. I don't know really is there
something called Global Warming or a Climatic Shift as scientists
say. How could a climate shift. Ahh, anyway it is Nature, and she is
unpredictable. But I was thinking as my father said about Chennai
when he was young. A city with more trees less occupied buildings,
necessary air-space everything. Wouldn't that be the reason people
have felt about Chennai as Heaven those days and when for their need,
when they occupied and destroyed almost what is called Nature, making
the city more a Concrete Jungle, now the same feel the place as Hell.
I was wondering is that the Climatic Shift or Human Thought Shift.
There was a visitor this
time, a friend of mine from the South Tamilnadu. Being suffocated
with a youngster boy smoking out there he started murmuring
Friend: Nowadays people
especially youngsters don't know What is Good and What is Bad. (in a
whispering tone) See this fellow is smoking like anything even
without knowing the harms of it.
Me: Smoking seems to be a
harm for you and not for him, I think so.
Friend: It is because now
the society teaches what is not necessary.
