Yagyaraman Mahadevan

There is so much of campaigning and discussion about Green India, reducing usage of paper to save trees etc.. Madiwala is a place in Hosur Road (buses coming from TN through Hosur would come in this road) which had lot of trees, which were really huge and gave shadow for the whole place.

Last week, when I went to Madiwala, Oh. God. It was difficult to even identify that I was in Madiwala because those Huge trees were CUT. I have passed through that road many times, but on that day, I felt little heavy in heart.  They have cut the trees which gave shadow to the entire area for reasons known only to them.

Immediately I remembered what Abdul Kalam did once. He was flying to Kerala to attend a School program and to plan for his arrival, the Officials there had cut the trees to get ready an Helipad where Kalam’s copter can land. On this arrival, he heard about the incident and he ordered them to bring almost double the number of trees that was destroyed and he planted them along with the Children and he advised them to take care of the trees till they grow. Only after their conformance, did Kalam attended the function.

That is Abdul Kalam…
