Hey guys,
Been a long time since I wrote a blog and what a better way to come back to the writing zone than to write about NAMMA MYSURU,MAHISHURU(as said by Sheetal) or NANNA MYSURU !!
A month back,I came back home and it was like heaven.I felt like the colours,the shades,the weather all splashing on me so generously, like it has been since the past 21 years of my life inexhaustively. But today,I felt Mysore is losing its charm. The charm,which is like a beautiful woman's natural beauty,her skin,her personality,is wearing off and wrinkles are seen with too many modifications,alterations,experiments and the list goes on..If you are close to a guess,then yes,I am talking about the greenery of Mysore.
I have literally lived my life in all parts of Mysore-be it the gallees,the market,palace,lakes,betta,the art hub(rangayana),the posh areas,the happening roads for the teenagers..well ''almost everything'' if not everything! I experienced these roads in an auto as a school kid,in the city bus and finally on the scooty as a college girl!
Today the city does not feel the same,it does not blow its cool breeze on the cheeks of a girl who wants to enjoy the roads.A lot of residencial and commercial complexes have come up in the city-partly a result of the IT crowd flowing in and partly because a lot of people feel like settling down in the palace city. Agreed, layouts have to be made, raods have to be chalked out for spreading of the traffic.But does that mean we spoil the beautiful roads of Mysore? Is cutting off trees the best solution? Those ancient trees which give a lot of life to the city,which gives it that peaceful charm,which gives memories,which hugs the people in its warm huge arms be cut off??!! Not done and not fair!! I am not writing this to support any of the NGOs or any of the dharnas-no,no absolute influence-But yes,I am voicing my heart which is crying for the city along with the hundreds who want the city to regain its charm! !
For all those heartless people out there,STOP WHAT U ARE DOING TO MY MYSORE,NANNA MYSURU,NAMMA MYSURU! It has cherished,nourished and looked after your needs all these years and its time you give back your city against your needs,your selfishness!! ITS YOUR CITY,NIMMA MYSURU TOO!!
Give it a thought!

Eventually, this had to happen after the exploitation of Bangalore. Cutting the trees is only a tip of the iceberg. More will follow the suit unless, Mysoreans voice their protest, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be happening. The near total indifference to such unmindful activities is really baffling.
i totally agree. our place was a paradise ealier. i used to love this place. i love it this day too. but its so crowded, with less trees and all that u told about. its just becomin blore almost. wish this hadnt happened.
well.. really can't blame anybody.. we want development and the city as a whole to progress.. you lose some, you gain some..
