Serene waters...

This is a pic of the lake in front of my house. It's local name is "Ganesha Talaab", cause during Ganesha Chauthi ( god in Hindu mythology with an elephant's head), idols of this god is immersed in this lake. The rest of the season~garbage!!No wonder my roomie calls it a sewage pond!!!

The thing is its nice getting such a great view from one's window(posted before~~~Help...are you there??? ).Children sit on the banks fishing while local dhobis (washer men) wash the clothes of their unsuspecting customers out here. Couples (old and young) sit on the steps leading to it in the evenings. In the night however, its inky blackness which reflects the street lamps, doesn't make it a very nice place to sit beside. Oh yeah...it's an abode for snakes, frogs and turtles!!

Sometimes I wish the Municipal guys would bring a dredger to clean up this pond. During our training days, our batch had planned to go along with one of our trainers, who worked in a NGO, to clean up this pond, but somehow the plan never materialized. I have heard people say, why should we clean up somebody else's "shit"!!!Cause for a better tomorrow you got to start cleaning up from today!!!

Fundaaa??????Nay!!!Just plain truth......
