Treachery

I've had this tab on my browser open for the past day, its a ghastly sight. Our rapacious tendencies at full display; we've claimed everything on the planet and spread like pests - and very selfish ways at that. This is a proof of our treachery; for all that we took from nature, we gave back nothing - toxins, at best. I had to write about it before the tab goes into oblivion.

Have a look on the google maps: The partition line is the Pusta Road. This road is a riot between the hours of 8AM to 7PM, when most set out to illogically travel long distances to earn mere subsistence money. To the left are the watershed plains of River Yamuna, some farmland and forests, where live the Nilgai (Blue Bull); to the right: us. Our concrete paradise, is it?
Zoom out, and that patch of virgin land reminds of that timid girl surrounded by filthy, greedy goons - a cliché from the bollywood movies of the 80s.
