May be flood... may be tsunami... my be earthquake... may be volcano.. who knows...

Enough we have talked about the reason for the flood..

Enough we have blamed on everyone possible..

There are clear evidence from every political party that their statements, actions and propaganda are all centered towards the upcoming election. Their desperation for ensuring the vote citing the flood event is more blatant. Only difference is, the ruling party cites the talent and versatility of its governance in handling the flood and opposition citing the flaws in such versatility and the so called talent.

I am not going to discuss the political motives of such parties, every one is having election as their motive behind their speech and not the real need of the hour for my city and my state.

But, its really hard for us to brush aside these parties as well, because, in the end you have to choose one for exercising your franchise and if you choose wise and sensible representative, then rest will happen in its due course.

Now! Shall we just divert our debate on what is the appropriate requirement and the need of the hour for the city and the state?

To begin with!

I strongly contradict the fact that all water ways and marsh lands of Chennai (Tamil Nadu as a whole / India as a whole / World as a whole / take what ever way you want) to be restored to its original capacity, like how it was in 1960s.

The reason is.. If you want to... then, you have to destroy and rehabilitate half of Chennai, and it would be more expensive than the expense of the damage the city have gone through.

You saw a dramatic flood and you will change the city to withstand this kind of flood in the future. Then an earthquake will come and you will further change your action centered with earthquake, then  a tsunami will come and you will further change the coastal areas adapting to the future tsunami.

I remember the advise given by prominent scientists to grow long trees in the sea shore to avoid the impact of future tsunami and rehabilitate all the fisher man to at least 2 kms from the sea shore.

Do we really think its practically possible? Fisherman's livelihood is in the sea and he would really want to be as close as possible. If you alter your infrastructure for each and every such calamities then we can probably leave this world and find some other planet to live. Because, we have screwed this planet as much as possible and it will definitely react to it by further calamities in the future.

No one knows in which form or way.

May be flood.. may be tsunami.. my be earthquake.. may be volcano.. who knows..

You know how much waste you are generating... You know how much fossil fuel you are using... You know how much natural resources you are wasting... Don't we think we should be reasonable enough to give diligent respect to them, as much as possible and reduce the impact?

A cleaner city... a perfectly linked water ways... an un-evading drainage system... a greener transport... a sensible waste management... a responsible natural resource utilization...

Aren't these the demanding topic for our discussion than to talk about who did wrong and who did write?

Sad that no one is now thinking about the need of the hour, but centering themselves to gather vote...

Sick!!!
