iron doors expand so much during the rains ….. and can not be locked ….ergo used some wire to tie it up ….few days back it created a loud ruckus at night when there was a strong wind blowing ….
Pune used to get mild to arid level rainfall during my growing up years ...
never ever saw mildew and moss or mold during the 80s and 90s ...whereas used to have to Air every kind of silk and expensive wear in assam and annamalais due to rains the whole year practically
I used to long to come back to the dry arid climate of Pune ..water shortages notwithstanding ….
in 2004 for the first time Pune got torrential rains and I wondered if I had bought the rains with me from assam
from that year onwards ...rains in Pune have been heavy ...Of course it had to be due to the major Afforestation drive taken up by NGOs and citizens of Pune ….
water shortages are not an issue in my part of the city and is kind of induced in some parts thanks to the tanker public and the middle men and contractors
my locality was Never soooooo Green during my childhood days ….everytime we had guests at home from Kerala ...I had to go with a cousin or whoever was visiting to buy chicken from a poultry farm near the house I stay now ….
it used to be a Walk in Scorching sunlight ...one or two trees only ...
now I can walk all over my locality and not get one bit of sunshine due to the number of trees
the people in charge of pruning trees have not done their bit ….or else the electricity dept would not be having so many power cuts
usually the people prune big trees before the monsoons …. dunno why they did not do so this year
7th August 2025
PS: they regularly do prune trees before monsoons …
this summer even the drains were also cleaned to avoid water logging …
