Last Saturday [i.e., 25 June 2005], I saw one partially uprooted tree next to our block in XIMB. Even though it was a big tree, it had not been able to withstand the slight wind load the previous night. I suggested the gardener to use props to ensure that the tree gets rooted once more. He refused saying that it is because of "root rot" and that nothing can be done about it. The tree had to go - "mercilessly axed out of existence".
The next day, I saw one article in the Indian Express (26 June 2005) - The banyan tree that "lifted itself". This happened in the Mupkal village of Andhra Pradesh. I was quite heartened to see this article. But I had a sad feeling about the tree next to my flat.
This also reminded me about my article titled "Our Roots" that I had posted few years back. XIMB can still be that banyan tree.
