It gives solace to the mind when I come across greenery on the way while going to visit my uncle’s place in Phulbani/Kandhamal district, Odisha. Passing through those lush green forest, hill pass and streams on the way gives an amazing feeling as it makes me come closer to nature. This time while me and my little sis were savoring the beauty around, she pointed out Lichen growing in the bark of the trees which is an indicator that the air around is fresh and pollution free. Fresh air is what we crave in the city, and recently there have been a drastic change in the weather that we don’t even get the season as per the months that we used to study in our text books. We have been experiencing summer in the month of Feb and Rain in the month of May. This create an agitation in my mind and somehow somewhere deep inside I wish that the places which are still green and pure are better not exploited by we humans and add to environmental damage.
