The summer has taken its extremity in Coimbatore. It has almost turned impossible to walk without an umbrella in the city. My workplace has plenty of trees around and provides a good shade to anybody who walks in. Today, the topic of conversation between the girl in the next cubicle and me was about the heat.

We shared the agony of walking under the scorching sun. The people are ready to fetch drinking water by walking miles away during the summer. But, they are reluctant to plant a tree near their house. She happened to share her experience at home on the topic. Her father refused to plant trees in the courtyard in front of the house, instead chose to build a double-storied building to rent the building as shops.
It is true that a generation has turned blind towards the environment. We think money solves anything in the world. When there is a small population trying to become eco-friendly in their deeds, a larger community still remains deaf towards the need. I cannot see a tree nearby my residence. The concrete buildings entirely cover the place.
My mother has started enjoying the paintings of the buildings as if she is enjoying the colors of the flower petals. Added to the bad sight are the hot wind and the noise that emanate from the vehicles. There is nothing to enjoy at the balconies. I seriously intend to shift my home towards a hilly place, where there are plenty of trees and fewer buildings to see. In fact, I am on my mission to construct a tree house, ignoring all the safety and maintenance issues people warn me about it.
