Wo/man is such an (ungrateful) animal? Change required immediately! — Grow with me naturally
Wo/man is such an (ungrateful) animal!
S/he cannot bear either too much of water
Or too little of it!
Yes, I am talking about floods and droughts!
What has come over us?
We build buildings with impunity
And pride ourselves in needless opulence
When we cannot conserve even basic water!
Just look at Bengaluru
Or any other major city
Not just in India
But the entire world!
It is a case of either too much
Or too little!
Whether it be money, water,
Or for that matter anything else!
Why do we wait until things get to a boil?
Don’t we have at least that much common sense that
Water is the most essential and precious resource
Without which we or our future generations cannot survive!
