City I love!
Then
Clean. Cool. Calm. Chlorophyll-filled-trees.
Now
Cluttered. Coolers. Chaos. Covered lakes.
Then
Canopies. Chill. Carefree. Clear-skies
Now
Cars.Clogged. Careless. Calories.
Then
Coffee. Chickpet. Cubbon Park. Commercial street.
Now
Cafès. Commercial malls. Clubbing. Chanel.
Then
Clerks. Class-middle. Cultural mix. Content.
Now
Computer professionals. Class- elite. Cosmopolitan. Cement.
Then
Care. Concern. Camaraderie. Conservation.
Now
Commission. Competition. Communities-gated. Calamities-awaited!

Emotion: Care

This is what happens most of the times as we 'develop'. True, we may be more comfortable and have access to better facilities. But at what price? Is it really worth it? Something to ponder over. Well conveyed in a subtle manner :)

Thanks Su! :D
DeleteTimes change through the years. Sadly, not always for the best. Sometimes, I'd like to go back to simpler days, without all the modern technology. We did okay without it. Nice post. Your blog is colorful too, with its sweet hearts.

Hehe! I am glad you like the look of my blog! :D
DeleteThanks for stopping by Beverly!
I live in a college town and we go through the changes just from semesters to summer. I like both sides of my city, though, so it's fun to watch the changes.
ReplyDeleteWow! You are privileged in that case :)
DeleteI have seen exactly that in just a couple of years here in Bangalore. I can totally concur with your feeling...err emotion.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you agree! We have to do something to change things around.
DeleteThis form is so cool :O
ReplyDeleteThanks PeeVee! 😁
DeleteIt's true you can never truly return to your home. Because it's never the same place you left. Nicely put post!
