Last week, Metro Rail connected Delhi with Gurgaon. It is an elevated Metro line on Mehrauli-Gurgaon (MG) Road that connects Delhi with Gurgaon. Before the services began last week, commuting to Gurgaon from MG Road was faster as compared to the NH8 route. Now, even the MG Road has traffic jams. What took 35-40 minutes in peak hours for me to reach from my home to Gurgaon, it has started taking me, on an average, 50-60 minutes to reach Gurgaon. I just hope when the entire work is over, the traffic situation gets better and there are lesser traffic jams.

What is concerning is that in the name of development, there are so many trees that have been cut. And the number of trees that have been cut are high! One day I see few trees & the other day, most of those trees are gone. Cut. Killed. It's kind of sad what we all are doing to our environment in the name of development. Trees are cut, but no new sapling is sown.
What is sad that people don't understand that it is every person's responsibility to take care of the environment. Why say everytime, "It's the Government who'll do everything. It's them who'll do it." Why only the Government? And who are 'them'? It has to begin with "I". It's us who have to bring a change, as a collaborative effort.

And change is difficult. Just because people have to move out of their comfort zone. However, is it impossible? NO. Is it difficult? YES. Is it doable? YES, YES.
