... A very small area of the
wetland seen in the last post,
taken on another day.
Kafkaesque...
....because of sheer
complexity...
...and for hoplessness and
impending doom.
Complex : ..because here
we see more than 5 feet tall
Sarus Crane , the tallest bird
to fly , with barely 5-6 inches
long stints , among the smallest
birds to migrate long distance...
coming all the way from the
Arctic Circle ...
...from tallest to the smallest ,
...and locals to migratory ,
..a complex intermingling
Hopeless : ..as there is no
chance of this wonderful wetland
surviving for next 5 years...
Impending Doom : ...construction of
Multi-Storey Luxury Apartment block
has already started barely a Km
away from this site...
...And this site is also marked __

drained and reclaimed.
