So much has been talked and discussed about GLOBAL WARMING in the media and public that it has reduced to a mere joke !! ... But when it strikes hard we realise the importance of it ..... One of the senior government official in Leh was seen on TV describing this event as unprecedented in entire living history of ladakh !! ..... Its a rainshadow area hence a cold desert ... rains are scanty and even snow is dry ...... but the news of cloudburst, heavy rains and flash floods has really jolted me out of my seat ... I was disheartened to see the mud houses and buildings even the roads on which I was driving my bike just a week ago all submerged in mud and water .... The village of Nimu and Choglumsar are worst affected and when riding through them I remember saying my friend that these are the best places to live ... but now everything we saw and cherished about is damned .... All because of our mindless use of fossil fuels and deforestation for agriculture and SEZs ..... This is just the beginning of our end ..... More such freak calamities are on calender for coming years ...... We have already lost the chance to arrest global warming ..... Now we just need to wait and watch the disaster in action !!
