THE GREEN MONSTER IS HERE TO STAY Mount Abu

The Green Menace has spread its tentacles in Mount Abu.


"Water hyacinth Mount  Abu Streams.Collage"

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 the temperature dropped below Zero giving Abu the first frost this Season.

Smiling Faces it's not cold 

The light of winter is the poetry of frost glistening in the morning rising sun.
The purple Sunbird bathes in the melting frosty globes on the leaves of the trees.
Children sit in the sun with curled-up toes, noses running but face beaming in the warmth of the sun.

Welcome to the Abode of the Gods

Where the sun is pleasant and there's Joy in your quest to feel the bite of the chilly dawn.
Welcome to Mount Abu in its everlasting bliss of valley and hills,
It will plague your soul, to join the Gods to fly away from this world
Away from your drab and weary life. 


The trees that did not shed their mantle of green
froze to death.

Falling afternoon temperatures accompanied by clear skies and a cool breeze are an indication of
Conditions for frost. So take a subtle hint from an ole geezer and place your beer bottles out on the lawn so the next day have chilled beer in the afternoon 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."
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”

Can India #BeatPlasticPollution With
The Current Plastic Bans In Various States?    More
