Terror Of Crows and Trees

Talwara: This is strange to know that the crows having their nests on the eucalyptus tree are attacking the passers-bye. The crow attacking incidants remained serious today as they attacked little children; who were playing outside in the open, crows also attacked with sharp beaks on some people crossing roads. A wave of terror is visible among the children and residents of Talwara.
Another incidents of falling of the dead trees. Such an incident happened today near the new Post Office. A sheesham tree fell on the road all of a sudden but it strucked in the wires and thus some passers bye managed to escape any accident. This is not for the first time when an old and dead tree fell, such incidents have tolled lives of many Talwara citizens. People have coined a nickname for such trees i e 'the killer trees'! But the administration of BBMB and the Forest Dept. seems seldom care for this problem. They rather wait for a tree to fell itself. The people have raised a strong demand to clear all such deadwood trees and insure the safty of general public.

Heavy Rains

It is raining heavily today since morning. It is almost raining cats and dogs. As usual, the roads are looking mini-canals, drainage system fails to drain rain waters. Of course, people welcome this cool shower. It had been very very hot, perspiring days for 2 yesterdays ;)
It is still raining outside. Dark clauds have covered the Sun completely. Ram Nangal side's hill is almost invisilbe and perhaps it is veiled behind the rain. The Khuds are becoming alive. They are overflowing over cause-ways. However, in this area, the natural drainage system is more efficient and doing well by driving all waters to the mighty Beas River.
Water Level in the Partap Sagar Lake is quite low. It is very strange. It is in spite of good rains that there is hardly any up levels seen in the lake. Even the floors of the spillway are naked and water is lower than the floors! Hope it will soon rise.

Rains and Pots

Monsoon is in and green is the dominant color all around. Here these pots also go green ...

Monsoon Showers

At last gone are the days of scorching heat and lo! here are the monsoons.
Rainy season is in now. Talwara is looking fresh, green these days. The forest area around Talwara are seeming more dense now. Small green plants are growing everywhere. However, polythenium is causing health threats.
BBMB has to repair its township roads which are in bad shape. Roads become canals even during slightest rainfalls. It is difficult for people to cross these roads by foot or even by cars as cars get choked amidst such water logged roads.
The colour of Mukerian Hydel Canal water is muddish. Both reservoirs, the Maharan Partap Lake and the Shah Nehar Barrage lake are full upto brims.
However, the real rainy season is yet to come. It is just begining. Mango crop is sending frangrances all around.

Summer Vacations Over

Another update is from the temples of education. Summer Vacations are over. Today was the first day of schools. Attendence was quite low due to heavy rains in morning that coninued even till mid day. Most of students did not attend their schools. Dark clouds have covered the mighty Sun. Humidity is unbearable and intermittant cool breeze refreshen burning souls.
