Gurgaon goes green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you are in Gurgaon, you have one more reason to smile inside the comfort of your air-conditioned cars and apartments (or even pan shops). Yes, Gurgaon goes GREEN!!!!!!!

Gurgaon’s innovative and in-built green features are numerous. They bear testimony to the fact that money power can rejuvenate nature (yes, trust the bill boards). There was a time when everybody criticised Gurgaon administration for eating away the Aravalli mountain range to feed the high-rise apartment and the real-estate developers. After all, if we do not keep the real estate industry booming, what will become of our economy and GDP? Environmentalists had warned that the disappearance of Aravalli would bring the Thar (the desert and not Mahindra thar!!) to the door steps of Delhi. Phew, poor chaps they did not know that we would build apartments higher than the Aravalli, replacing it completely. These apartments would acts as a barrier between the thar desert and New Delhi, stopping the heat wave.  Nearly a decade after the New and shining Gurgaon found its feet, heat waves still seep into the city, but through the gaps between residential apartments that dot along the deceased Aravalli. We would soon build commercial/ residential buildings in these gaps so that this seepage could be stopped!!

Gurgaonites have successfully occupied the entire road space with their eco-friendly SUV’s and cars. Gone are the days when people wanted polluting and dirty public transport to move within Gurgaon. Thanks to new technologies, we are now able to travel, albeit at a snail’s pace through the jammed roads. Moreover, we are able to breathe chilled and clean air inside our cars while simultaneously enjoying the mindblowing beauty of the skyscrapers (yes, many have lost their ‘mind’)…                   
                                                                                                                                                  
Gurgaon is also home to a sizeable population of migrant Bangladeshi bicycle rickshaw owners. They offer an eco-friendly mode of outdated transport and stress-busting services, as they also bear the brunt of that well-educated lady who yells at them when they demand five rupees more. Well, isn’t that a big stress for her? How can they expect her to pay more? After all, if it was one of Gurgaon’s many shopping malls, she would have spent even 500 Rs for a piece of baked flour (is it called pissssa?) as it is a pleasurable experience. 

Well this is not the end, Gurgaon is also seeing a lot of green movements one of which is ‘PLANT A MILLION TREES”.. is it not an example for the green consciousness of Gurgaonites? The stage is well set..

Billboards proclaim our intentions to plant a million trees
Sign boards ask for donations and
Facebook pages keep building up support.

Soon, very soon we would launch the drive as we have run into a major hitch for the timebeing- LACK OF SPACE TO PLANT THEM!!!

Meanwhile, Aravalli- R.I.P!!
