Tale of a 'Bangalore Tree'
Bangalore is (rather was) known as "The Garden City" because of the trees that make Bangalore greener than any other city in India. The trees of Bangalore have become the victims of the rapid Urbanization. Everyday the trees are being felled. In almost every small road. the trees are being felled. Here is the reason why it is being done...
A Big, Green road side Tree.... :)
Since the Vehicles increase, the authorities expand road, cut the branch which has spread over the road... :(
Now the Electric Poles!!! The Electricity people come and chop the branches which have spread over the Electric Wires .... :(
Now comes a Big Shopping Complex.... The builders chop the branches which has spread over the building site ..... :(
Now only the tree trunk remains ... :( ... Even if the tree grows again, people will not allow it to grow... :( ... One final day the tree gives up and goes dry. People cut down the tree to the full extent.. and thus the life of a "Bangalore tree" ends sadly.....
Here are the other reasons why the Bangalore trees just cannot survive ...
If this is the way Bangalore is going to treat its Trees, then it is SURELY on the path of its decline!!!!
Save Trees to Save Bangalore !!!

Here are the other reasons why the Bangalore trees just cannot survive ...
- The Telecom authorities, while laying the Optical Fibre Cables cut down almost all the strong roots of the tree. A tree needs atleast 70% to survive winds and rains. So When it rains heavily or Winds blow strongly, the tree just cannot balance, the tree falls down.. So another Sad ending.... :(
- Another blunder, by laying concrete on all foot paths. If there are no open spaces for soil, the how can water enter the soil ? How does the tree get the water then ???? Tree goes dry or gets disease... and dies... another sad ending .... :(
If this is the way Bangalore is going to treat its Trees, then it is SURELY on the path of its decline!!!!
Save Trees to Save Bangalore !!!

ya.. "bangalooru" is paying price for becoming the silicon valley of India. :(
Cool Vinay.. Even Bangalore ppl are paying for it in one or other way..
We can't stop but we can help to reduce such kind of activities.
nice depiction of the situation...the tree drawing r wonderful...
Thanks very much.
I drew them thinking that Pictures speak louder than words
"The pictures you drew were touching Vinay. Not a single word was needed to understand what you wished to describe.
I'd like to say that it's not just Bangalore that's going through this. Every 'Delhi Tree' and 'Mumbai Tree' has a similar fate. And we at kleeto are determined to change this. The value of a tree seems to have gone down among people.
It's not the activities of just the telecom authorities and the builders that is the cause of felling and chopping of trees. One of the major reasons, apart from the ones you mentioned, is the demand for, and hence, production of paper. And so, we at kleeto are motivated to reduce the demand for paper so as to redeem the situation.
We collect from your place all the important documents and keep them safe from every possible harm (theft, termites, moisture etc). We digitize your documents and give you your password to view them online. So instead of using a part of another tree to xerox a document, next time all you need to do is view and forward a copy of it online.
And whenever you need your documents back, we deliver them to you at your doorstep.

Spread this info so that soon we can edit the TALE OF A BANGALORE TREE for a happier ending."
