Karm. Karma.
The value of actions and their result.
So important conceptually. The whole cycle of our births and rebirths, reasons for our joy and sorrow. All decided by our karma. The entire structure of the society came from it. The ones that studied became Brahmins, the ones in business vaishyas.
So..
By the same logic where do we fit in??? The filth creators, thankless, irresponsible lot. What category do we belong to???What should they call us???
And by the very same theory of karma whats in store for us....?
We used, abused, annihilated what nature gave us for free – The Rivers.
The nurturers, life givers, the very basis of great civilizations. How does one exert their value on us.... what should one say or do, to shake us up enough to see that we have blood on our hands. We choked the mighty with plastic, chemical, excreta, neglect.

To clean me..
.
Clean the purest, the most pious, the free spirited, the wild.
.
First you build banks around me, then you throw your sins in me- the muck, the grime, the poison.
.
And when I begin to die, when you have altered my spirit irreversibly you show me money.
.
Take me back Lord, and keep me.

Not even 1/5 th of the total allocated spending till March '18.
.
Don't you see .. life is dying... My water is running sluggish because of the muck.
.
My pristine whites...turning the color of your neglect- black.
.
Would you be able to make out .... If Ganga cried. How does a river cry? Its pleading.
.
Be proud YOU made the mighty Ganga plead!"

"You have seen the Taj, yes I mean the Taj Mahal...
.
One of the seven wonders!!?? ... Yes that one..
.
You have pictures on the bench? Yes the one on which, Princess Diana sat alone, and William and Kate..
.
Have you marvelled at it's beauty?..
.
I am sorry...am I digressing..why don't I just come to the point.
.
Ya! So next to THAT Taj, is this dark, thin, barely there rivulet.
.
That's me Yamuna... I feel ashamed, the way you look at me. I feel unclothed because of the hurry with which you avert your glance from me...in revulsion"

.
And on the other side you choke me with your filth,your dirt, your garbage, but worship my statue ...You filled my mouth with cement at Triambakeswar, and took a "holy dip" in the kund with tanker water for kumb mela .
.
It is all very confusing.... What are your values...who has taught you this hypocrisy?????
.
For something that you can see happening right before your eyes - me dying because of your actions..... You are trading with your hypothetical belief-throwing money will get you my blessing
..I mean preposterous!!!!"

"Every drop of my water....is allocated
.
Irrigation , drinking ,hydro power, industry ,navigation
.
And most of the year I am so totally consumed that I don't even meet the sea
.
You set up tribunals, declare war zones. Write documents the size of books.
.
To divide my water.
.
I guess you consider me really important... And that is why all this attention and money spent.
.
Then why the dark massacre.. all that filth & plastic that you continuously pour into me.
.
Krishna the dark one..."

"I am large
.
I am volatile
.
I do what I like to do, take the course I like to..
.
I know I have taken away your good land and deposited sand.
.
My floods have taken away fields and villages and lives
.
But do you know the natural floods, viewed "dangerous" , by engineers, dam builders... Made me run the cycle of life. My fish, my wetlands, the great kaziranga- and it's fauna .
.
The bigger, erratic issues began to happen when unthoughtful meddling began. I gave you ample fish at one time.. and now you eat it from government farms... Don't treat the symptoms, treat the cause.
Save my whole ecosystem.

Stop the mindless deforestation , Oil pollution & the untreated waste disposal .... STOP THE SLOW DEATH of you and me !!!"
Mindless afforestation - now how could afforestation ever be bad...? But if you rip the natural Flora and replace it with Eucalyptus (so you can make more paper), it can be... Very very damaging. The natural chemistry of the soil changed. THAT changes everything.
.Sand mining
.
Waste from cities and industries dumped
.
Narmada Bachao Andolan (23 yrs). Narmada won't live, what will you save then??
.
They say when the Ganga got very dirty with all of peoples sins, it went to the Narmada to ask her to clean her. Who does the Narmada go to?
"They pass me through water purifiers....
.
Do you see the irony of it all?
.
So, you spend big money to first research purifying technology, then you market it. People plan and save money to buy the fancy equipment. And then you see how clear your drinking water is and feel proud of your wise purchase. .
Why did you dirty me so much in the first place... What if you invested a little bit of your high class expensive education on common sense??
.
It's actually funny...you are a reflection of what you did to me..... You eat filth, and then pay money to run on treadmills....you don't know how to maintain a beautiful god' s gift...life"

"How beautiful it used to be ,the surroundings , so pure untouched .
.
Look what it has become now ,these chemical dumps, changing my very colour & intoxicating me .
.
You come back and take a dip in these chemically infested waters and call it HOLY , I thought you knew better!

.
Since 1892 i.e. for 126 years, you have fought over my waters.
.
And even gave that hatred, bloodshed, bitterness a name "Cauvery Jal vivad".
.
So now thanks to you my dear people of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka I am known to the world as an "issue".
.
My purpose was so different, your intentions are drying me up, driving the mere life out of me.
.
It is not a win win situation... Everyone loses and I pay through my life."
