"ಶ್ರಾವಣ ಬಂತು ಘಟ್ಟಕ್ಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪಟ್ಟಕ್ಕ ಬಾನ ಮಟ್ಟಕ್ಕ...ಏರ್ಯಾವ ಮುಗಿಲು ರವಿ ಕಾಣೆ ಹಾಡೆ ಹಗಲು" - ದ.ರಾ. ಬೇಂದ್ರೆ
Shravana is the mark of begin of Varsha Ruthu in the great hindu calendar. It is believed that nature takes form of enormous power during this season and there is a very thin line between being glorified and horrified. It is not new and doesn't require special notification, to describe the events unfolding across globally.
Be it floods in this season or heatwaves later on, a trend has now begun to watch the clips and images, feel in sympathy, and give great amount of money, food and water, and other basic requirements to the extent of our best capacity to the ones in need. But what's the afterwards here?
Do we indeed realize the impact of these calamities? They carry an imprint so invisible yet so punitive.
Dear fellow humans,
We are long overdue in doing what's really required to do from our end. Please understand the importance to preserve and protect ecology from the likes of our conveniences. Plastic is causing grave danger to us, improper treatment of sewage and garbage is poisoning us back, land is aging due to over exploitation and mass concrete constructions, and what not is happening to add to the list. Cutting down trees, encroaching lakes and forests, endangering animal species, extinction of agriculture, excessive use of synthetics in the name of technology, are few of the several ways through which we are parading this planet. If we don't take deliberate actions to stop all this, I am afraid, we won't have any answers in the future, or worse we won't have a future at all.
It's not a joke, or a time-killing articulation! There will be no economy when there is no ecology. We are costing too much than we can afford to withstand.
