In last four years which I spent in Kolkata. I have never experienced such a horrible kind of rainfall. Just three days before pujas it stopped. Half of the pandals were left, half of the idols were left. Streets full of water. Thanks to god that there was no rain in those three days. Everyone enjoyed a lot. After all it is the biggest festivals of Bengalis.
3 Years before I didn’t believed all those prediction by scientist and geologists about changing rain pattern. Every thing was just going good. But it was monsoon it used to rain and then stop. But it was 27 July 05 which changed everything. I still remember the hooded streets of Mumbai, and all those who died there. That year Supreme Court added Environmental Education in our syllabus. And I started to recycle and reuse paper. That was what I could at time. But now I believe and search for any such warning given by those people. They have recorded a rise of rain fall in eastern India annually whereas there is a decreasing trend in northern India.
India still is an agricultural country. And people in villages still wait for rain for there harvest. Unfortunately decreasing trend is shown mainly by the places which grows the bulk of food resources. But increasing trends is noticed in the places near coast. It looks like a huge disaster is waiting to happen. Not only farmer’s life is related to rain but all of ours are too. And it is not only flood and drought which are going to affect our lives. Irregular monsoons will disrupt every system of our lives.
Here’s one example. As I said before pujas there were rainfall West Bengal. And all idols were half done. I heard one of my mother’s friends critiquing the rainfall and saying that an idol maker has committed suicide as he was unable to meet the deadline. Isn’t that pathetic.
