heal the world

The rains just dont seem to come. i mean all that was green now lay black. the crickets wern't doing thier job because they had been burnt to death and the hills seemed just so tired of standing there welcoming guests. Shimla seemed like Chandni chowk and to my surprise the temperature there was just above 28 degrees. the last i remember we used to freeze even during May. The Capital city was nothing more than a big bowl of toxic waste. The already black water of Yamuna was now green and areas of it gave out a horrible smell. People still are not aware of thier mistakes and seem to have grown use to the power cuts and minimal water supply. The huge greens within the city could be seen as a big cover up to people who'd look beyond the huge flyovers and state of the art malls. Its' not that such problems are not seen in my city or I am any less to blame than the ones i am pointing fingers at but just that these places were like beautiful paradises when i had last visited them. My summer trip just made me realize we need to stop. stop immediately, take a look around and start healing the world or we'll die a very sad death.
