CHEERS N Seasons Greetings

THE GREEN MONSTER IS HERE TO STAY Mount Abu

The Green Menace has spread its tentacles in Mount Abu.

Water hyacinth Abu Streams.

Water hyacinth Abu Streams.

The Water hyacinth has permanently invaded all our streams, covering our scarce water bodies with a weed cloak. This has doomed the viability of the existing ecosystem concerning the immediate areas around the streams. The little silverfish, which used to abound and serve as a food source for the visiting birds, are no longer visible. 

Birds such as

( White Throated Kingfisher, Grey Wagtail,  Little Black Cormorant, Little Grebe, Crested Serpent Eagle, Common Kingfisher, Black-winged Stilt, Pied Kingfisher) have not been returning as the stream is choking with the hyacinth weed.

The Lantana species that was introduced to Abu should have been a loud warning signal to our administration. Because of the extensive growth of Lantana, a mat-like structure is formed, which leads to the degradation and destruction of biodiversity. The Lantana has intruded on and snuffed out the terrain of the flourishing Karonda bush and the wild rose (Roses Abuensis) bushes. As a result, to see them, one needs to go in search of them. 

The municipality sent their workforce to clean the streams earlier in the year, but just sweeping the surface has had no effect! It’s like our modern generation with plastic bags. 

In the last few years, the Forest Department and our local administration have taken steps to curtail the invasive species (Lantana)from spreading by planting native flora species.

This GREEN menace has to be taken on a war footing; our Forest Department should take up the issue and employ our locals who depend on the forest for their livelihood, not only would it contain the forest from being depleted of its precious trees, but give meaningful and productive employment and keeping this hungry monster at bay.

 Taking concrete and constructive steps will help in affecting the ecological equilibrium.

Mount Abu in for another Frosty morn.

Abu to awaken to another Frosty Morn.

Tonight's temperature

The moon sailing in waves of clouds, 

Smiling at the monkeys playing in the setting sun,

The fantail taking an icy dip in the stinking stream,

And the moon warning us in the Abode of Gods

Tomorrow watch out for my wrath wrapped in a mantle of frost.

Monkeys playing in the setting sun.

Mount Abu first Frost for this Season

MOUNT ABU FREEZES 15 DEC 2018.

WELCOME TO A CHILLY ABU

Last, Night's temperature dropped below Zero giving Abu the first frost this season.

Children huddle in the morning's warm sun, their faces aglow with joy.

WELCOME TO A CHILLY ABU

Winter light dances like poetry upon frost-kissed leaves, shimmering in the first rays of the rising sun. The vibrant purple sunbird flits through the trees, drinking from droplets of frost that glisten as they melt. Children huddle in the morning's warm sun, their toes curled against the chill, their noses running but their faces aglow with joy.

Welcome to the Abode of the Gods

Welcome to the Abode of the Gods—Mount Abu. Here, the sun’s warmth is a gentle balm, and the bite of the frosty dawn invigorates your spirit. The eternal calm of the hills and valleys invites you to surrender to their peacefulness and let your soul be carried away. Mount Abu whispers of escape in its blissful stillness—an invitation to leave behind the monotony of everyday life and step into something otherworldly.

The trees that did not shed their mantle of green

froze to death.

As the afternoon sun descends and a cool breeze grows stronger, the clear skies create ideal circumstances for frost to form later tonight. So take a tip from an old hand: set your beer bottles on the lawn tonight, and by tomorrow, you’ll have chilled beer to enjoy under the winter sun.

Cheers to our Winter Season.

The temperature at 8:43 this morning

STOP PLASTIC BE DRASTIC Mount Abu

Abuites STOP PLASTIC BE DRASTIC.

Abu From Achalgarh.

Plastic,  plastic everywhere,

The more you look, the more you despair,

Sand be hanged, the desert is already there.

Plastic deserts and plastic seas are filing our last reserves, 

 Preparing our future generations on a journey unforeseen, 

Of humanity choking and croaking like our animals and sea creatures. 

Due to our lack of no environmental planning and sustainability

We are gonna pay dearly by burying our

Earth's surface in an Eire Foam of plastic wastelands and stinking seas. 

"Everywhere around the world, the future of getting rid of plastic is uncertain; in India, even the implementation of lightweight plastic bags is uncertain." A plastic ban in India has been in effect since 2002, but an estimated 20 cows per 100 die from plastic ingestion.

Can you imagine this scenario? The government banned the use of plastic bags in this little hill station over a decade ago and today when one looks around, all one sees is heaps of rubbish and the majority of it is plastic bags. 

My ardent suggestion is let's build an enormous, Huge Plastic God that touches the sky. So every time we look at it, it opens our eyes and reminds us!

                       “STOP NO MORE PLASTIC OR I WILL BE DRASTIC”
