Regrets: Couldn't save 15 trees in front of my coaching (2018)

November 2018: 

I was sitting as usual in my coaching institute, self studying for upcoming exam of JEE and beside knowing that the trees which I could see in front of my eyes outside our classroom won't be there in next coming month of time, I did nothing. 

I just stood there, going to my coaching everyday for the next  entire month, could see the construction worker's progress day by day in building that multi-storey vehicle parking, saw the trees getting cut one by one daily, I did nothing and kept on living with my busy schedule of studies. 

When I think about the scenario now I feel like what is the use of the studies I was doing at that time if I can't apply my knowledge for the welfare of humanity.              I can just tell my self, for the sake of prevention of self guilt that there were many people just like me who did nothing and watched the trees going down, but  most of those people don't have a vision to save our planet. They see the construction as the "DEVELOPMENT" and saving trees is not expected by those old fellows, it is expected from people like me , the Youth. 

There are  many things that I could have done. Like calling the police on site and giving in absolute no coorporation in cutting those trees. I could have done the same tree grabbing technique done in Chipkoo movement. I feel the only things I lacked back then was the courage to make it a MATTER. To raise my voice for my dear distant cousins, the flora, on which be ultimately depend upon.

It would forever remain on my chest, for not saving those trees. Though the construction of parking is complete now, you won't believe the tragedy, The space where trees were once growing, is now completely barren, I mean  they didn't even constructed the parking there, another example of  poor engineering and architecture planning done by qualified people. 

But now there is this one  thing for sure, I would never again in my life remain silent when there is need to take action for wellfare of all.
