Day 7 theme of Inktober 2019 is 'Enchanted''. Well, given the reactions of some of my well-read, learned friends, no other word comes to my mind. Under the spell of 'Development' casted by the corporates and the ruling class, they seem totally enchanted...
Reminds me of the story of the pied-piper, with a crooked twist, of course...

Deeply saddened by today's development around the Aarey forest. Why is that, time and again, we blatantly ignore the significance of the natural resources, and ruthlessly remove them in the name of 'Development'... Haven't we realised yet that this invariably leads to disaster!!!
If I may be realistic, it is fair to say that the city of Mumbai, after getting rid of the precious wetlands, is already dead. What we are witnessing now, through the destruction of the last remaining forest cover, is the burial process. But this mindless growth is kind of a global phenomenon now. Remember the fire in the Amazon?? The theme for the 5th day of Inktober is 'Build'. Well, that is what is happening all around. By removing trees and biodiversity, and replacing them with more concrete and 'cosmetic' landscape. The existing system of mindless trawling is severely damaging the balance of aquatic ecosystem. But, ever-increasing demands have to be met at any cost. So, well...
The theme for the 3rd day of Inktober is 'Bait'. Thought of inking a hypothetical demonstration of unusual camaraderie between the numerous hungry mouths and the doomed, petrified food!!! In hindsight, fighting against a trawling net is difficult. Taking on a single fishing line has higher probability for success. |
ConceptClimate change is very much real - no matter what some people say or believe in. This problem has surfaced exclusively due to unsustainable human practices and activities. Not only have we, humans, become extremely vulnerable to the various menacing calamities (becoming more and more frequent), every other species that co-habit this planet are sadly facing the brunt as well, for no fault of theirs.
