*Najafgarh drain is contributing two third of Delhi's sewage. Now waste management is not an option but a way of life, so reducing waste is everyone's responsibility* said Selvarajan of Green Circle during a talk on *waste, a serious environmental concern* He was delivering a talk and Power Point presentation on Waste Management in a seminar organised under *Swatch Bharat Abhiyan* by Bhagini Nivedita College (women), Kair village, Najafgarh. Anil Parashar Green Circle speaking on the topic *Clean environment, a human right perspective* he shared his experience *how he could successfully stop the exploitation of safari karamchari and rag pickers as a human right defender* Earlier, Principal of the college Mrs.Purbi Saikia welcomed the speakers. .<br />
Mrs. Sushma Khurana , coordinator of the Swatch Bharat Abhiyan assured of all support in waste management. 300 students belonging to Swatch Bharat Abhiyaan and NSS volunteers participated in the seminar and actively interacted with the speakers during the presentation. The effort to sensitise the students on the importance of keeping the environment garbage free was well received by faculty members and students as well. Being inspired by the presentations, students expressed their wish to participate in the ongoing plastic, garbage cleaning campaign and also wanted to visit Najafgarh drain to study the biodiversity of the jheel and explore the potentials for developing the nala as a bird park<br />

These include dust sources such as road dust and construction dust as well as a large number of combustion sources namely vehicles, power plants, industries and waste burning. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Air Pollution in Delhi is formidable and while everyone is highly concerned about the control of the pollution level, the measures outlined in the form of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Graded response action plan </b>(GRAP) by MoEFCC/CPCB does not appear to be concerned about forests or consider tree as a pollution control tool despite the apparent fact that the carbon absorption capacity is gifted by nature only to trees on the planet earth. The increased forest cover is the best pro-active measure to make Carbon reduction possible. Under this backdrop, the author is of the strong opinion that the GRAP measures listed out by the department be revisited to include increased forest cover as an air pollution control measure</span><span style="background: white; color: #212121; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">The relationship between trees and air pollution is a complex one. It is necessary to assess whether the deforestation has a direct bearing on air pollution levels. In Delhi the major contributor to the air pollution is in the form of PM .5 and PM 10. These Particulate matter suspended in polluted air tends to settle on leaves and certain gases including <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">nitrous dioxide</b> (NO2) are absorbed by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">leaves’ stomata</b>, filtering the air and reducing pollution levels slightly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">But it is apprehended that the trees and other vegetation restrict airflow in their immediate vicinity, preventing pollution from being diluted by currents of cleaner air. In particular, tall trees with thick canopies planted alongside busy roads can act like a roof, trapping pockets of polluted air at ground level. While the significance of this thought needs scientific evidences, to improve air quality, city planners need to give careful consideration to how trees are spaced while going for massive plantation. This can be a realistic option since the unmindful planting of trees lack farsightedness</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

As per 2015 status report of forests, Delhi has 299.58 sq km of land under forest which accounts for 20.22 % of the Geographic area which means still we are lagging behind in tree cover. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Out of this, 111 sq. kms is TREE COVER and 188.77 sq. kms. is FOREST COVER making a total of 299.77 sq. kms. In the light of tall claims of huge forest cover in Delhi, we need to analyse the status of forests in the light of the official definitions offered by forest department which has provided the above data.</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

Assuming that the forest department has accounted forest cover at this ratio, then it goes without saying that all the accounted forest area of 188.77 Sq KMs will have just in reality counts for 10% of it. In other words, the greenery in these area may be just 19 Sq KMs of actual forests or just a little more of it. Let’s assume that it may be 25 Sq KMs on a ‘generous’ accounting (extrapolation of data is quite a common thing in statistical methods). The term 'Forest Area' (or recorded forest area) generally refers to all the geographic areas recorded as forest in government records. Recorded forest areas largely comprise Reserved Forests (RF) and Protected Forests (PF), which have been constituted under the provisions of Indian Forest Act, 1927. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Besides RFs and PFs, the recorded forest area may include all such areas, which have been recorded as forests in the revenue records or have been constituted so under any State Act or local laws.</span><span style="background: white; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">Chipko Movement of South Delhi brought many of us together. 16500 trees were at stake in South Delhi, India Gate trees are awaiting axe. Atul Khataria Chowk is ready for felling, Noida is almost finished. Aravali will be a history soon. Dwarka Express way is going to end another 3000 trees. Things are not moving in good direction despite our concerted efforts to fight against the double giants NBCC and CPWD. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any moment axe may fall on the trees. If the tree cover is not sufficient we go for planting new trees which take at least 30 years to reach an acceptable definition of TREE. But <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">cutting well grown trees</b> is not stopped though our movement has prevented. The ongoing construction activities will increase AQI for sure, but are we going to allow that. Answer is an emphatic YES and NO which squarely depends on civic society’s conviction. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An ordinary Delhi citizen rarely comes out for fighting against any Social evil whether it is a child abuse, women empowerment, corruption in public life, pollution or tree felling. But a concerted effort an selfless service for saving a tree is essential. Right under our nose many trees are dying a slow death. We have identified many concerns such as nailing, concretisation, termite infection, Amar bel onslaught, natural disasters like uprooting of trees etc. Pruning of leaves is another issue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;">While Delhi Tree Act stipulates norms, we come across cases where trees are pruned unmindful of standard pruning norms. No enforcement is in place against the perpetrators of the crime. Very soon, we will have to rename the popular residential areas in South Delhi in particular as Kidwainagar desert, Netaji nagar desert etc Instead of going to Rajastan Jaisalmir to see deserts, we can soon see camels walking in Delhi. <span style="background: white; color: #333333;">The author is of the opinion that the present pattern of planting of trees is neither scientific not sustainable. During the last season, the Delhi Government has gone for massive plantation and all departments were given quantitative target. In their anxiety to achieve the given target in the short span of monsoon days, departments were seen planting homogenous trees wherever space was available. Choice of trees was also not done with proper homework on the sustainable species. .In many cases, it was seen that ornamental plants were planted just to reach the numerical targets. Planting trees in platforms and then concretizing the platforms have led to the death and decay of the existing trees.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

24.6.2018, Green Circle has conducted a symbolic CHIPKO in front of Diamond
Square apartment Sector 6 Dwarka. A large number of members who participated in
the Chipko Dwarka had proceeded further to join the CHIPKO INDIA site at
Sarojini nagar. Anil Sood of CHETNA, NGO received the Green Circle team.
Selvarajan on behalf of Green Circle addressed the gathering and expressed
solidarity with the CHIPKO organizers. Advocate Gautam Sarkar announced that
Green Circle will join the application filed by CHETNA before NGT to take the
task legally. Addressing the media persons, Selvarajan said that compensatory
planting of 135000 trees is just an eye wash and would in no way compensate the
well grown trees axed now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He added that
there is no logic or rhyme in planting 10 little saplings in the place of one
50 year old tree in respect of oxygen contribution. He wondered how the
environmental clearance for the whole project was given, without properly
accounting the environmental loss due to cutting trees. Green Circle members
Ravi Jaitley, S K Malik, Anurag Mohan, Munish, Anurag Behl, Romilla Gandhi,
Jyoti, Sandhya, Vadhera embraced the tree and vowed to save trees. Members
later joined the candle march also <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">Our first Tree Clinic venture !</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;">I have been receiving a number of requests and suggestions regarding saving trees uprooted or termite infected. Delhi as it is has good coverage of greenery and well grown trees. We need to save existing trees. So Green Circle has made an initiative to save existing trees. Today in Dwarka, we find that many trees are infected with termites. Some trees are affected by parasitic Amer bhel. So we at Green Circle planned to open a tree clinic and do our best efforts to save trees. Trees have life and they are nowhere less than human beings. We have to protect them as sisters and brothers. The above tree is one such effort to save on Bent tree which is vulnerable to be a victim of next storm. This tree is in DDA PARK NO 7 SECTOR 6 DWARKA where we have already planted 150 trees. Recent storms have uprooted a number of well grown trees. Many uprooted trees were simply removed. If DDA gives us support, we could replant trees. </span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: justify;">For this particular tree, we have given support by using a broken dead branch of a nearby tree. Some of the major reasons why trees are getting slant is because of compound walls, cementing platforms, construction of drainage etc for trees. Green Circle has started a blog in the name of Green Circle Tree Clinic to collect and post expert opinions and views on the topic</span><br />

It's another feather in the cap of Green Circle. A dozen of dedicated Green Circle members assembled this morning at DDA Central Park, Sector 6, Dwarka at a short notice to carry out cleanliness drive. Named as "Mission Clean Dwarka", the members carried out the exercise for an hour, cleaned the entire park area and removed plastic and other non bio degradable waste scattered all over the park. The mission started with the Vipan couple seeking Green Circle’s support to clean the park and get rid of plastic waste. Earlier the Vipan duo who had been carrying out the drive on all Saturdays of their own for the past so many months. Green Circle decided to support the drive and called all to join the cleaning drive. The campaign was spearheaded by Octogenarian Lakhvinder Singh of Green Circle. Going around the park, with mask and gloves, the volunteers made a collection which was 6 sacks full and disposed off the same at Sector 5 Dhalao. During the drive, there were abundant encouragement by a lot of like-minded people who assured of joining us from next week onwards. Some elders appreciated the move while others expressed their condemnation against people who throw plastic in the park. Mr PK Chopra says, “While this is welcome by many, a few others continued their morning walk pretending that they have not seen us. But we are confident that some of them would not throw any waste in the park. And if that happens, it would be achievement of our drive.” Krishnamoorthy was happy to be a part of the drive while IM Khanna felt that he got a mental satisfaction for doing his part to Mother Earth. Green Circle Vice Chairman Anil Parashar said that the mission to clean Dwarka will continue on all Saturdays. Selvarajan Secretary of Green Circle thanking all participants requested the crusaders to join all the ensuing Saturdays in the mission. It is part of Green Circle's objective to protect environment and the drive initiated now would continue.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">‘Segregation and composting’ is not an option but a
responsibility for every citizen and Government, asserted Madhuri Varshney, an
environmental activist and social worker in Dwarka.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Talking on the occasion of the 4<sup>th</sup>
monthly Lecture in its 24 Environmental lecture series organised by Green
Circle, she introduced a 2 Bin and One bag method wherein red bin will be used
for dry waste while green bin will be used for wet waste. Simultaneously households
must maintain a bag for recyclable items. She suggested sending recyclable
waste to ragpickers. Further delivering her lecture with a powerpoint
presentation on Segregation and Composting, Madhuri of Rise Foundation said
that End-to-end segregation must be ensured to manage garbage effectively. She
added that it is not only the duty of Government, but every RWA, Society must
ensure segregation at source. Dwelling on the lacuna in the system, she said
garbage dumps are overflowing and is posing a severe threat to environment as
well as people’s health. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

such as aerobic and anaerobic and vermin-composting methods to address the
ever-growing organisc waste. She also talked on community composting and explained
how her society could successfully enforce composting to dispose horticulture
waste.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nidhi Gupta shared her experience in grinding organic
waste in mixer to reuse it as organic compost for the plants grown by her in
home garden. Appreciating her work Madhuri insisted that the members could
follow her simple technique. Ramesh Murmukshu said that the aim of the people
should be zero garbage since incineration of dry wastes or running a compost
machine also consumes electricity which is another concern. Romilla Gandhi
insisted that SDMC should handle segregated waste properly. Lamenting over the
way the segregated waste is dumped in the trucks by SDMC to dump in dhalaus,
the participants felt that this is the grey area in waste management. Anil Parashar
Chairman of the meeting said that almost daily garbage burning is reported from
various locations of Dwarka. Selvarajan Secretary of Green Circle proposed to
conduct a seminar of all stake holders to address the issue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lamenting over the failure of the SDMC to
properly transport the segregated waste, S K Sharma President of the Air force

When Green Circle came to know about him and watershed management activities of his NGO HIMAL based at Danya and his desire to revive water bodies in his locality, no one believed that he would have in-depth knowledge about the environmental issues. Green Circle members Selvarajan, Anil Parashar, Muralidhar and Ramesh Murmurku decided to take 14 hours journey to take to the villagers. At Danya, Almora is a remote and otherwise sleeping village HIMAL, a Danya based NGO working for environment and livelihood under the able guidance of Dwarkaite Ramesh Mumukshu, who is an RTI Activist. Ramesh also works for HIV affected patients. On 22nd April, Ramesh and Basant Pandey of HIMAL, Manoj and Om Prakash of Gandhi Peace Foundation and M/s Anila behan and Pushpa Behen of Sava Shakthi planted a Rose plant to mark the Earth Day. After the planting they also conducted a joint meeting to plan out an action program for revival of traditional water bodies called Naula at Swalambhan Bhawan Danya.. HIMAL members expressed their desire to work with Green Circle for taking steps to improve water resources by rejuvenating traditional water sourcing through naula and exploring other sources like Kuan and bavli. Later on, the entire team visited a 400 year old Naula to explore how this traditional water body caters to the need of the rural people. Green Circle has decided to undertake the construction of a naula at Danya supported by HIMAL and other sansthas of Almora district. Green Circle members also visited Sattal near Nainital and conducted Birdwatching <br />

On 22nd April 2018, Green Circle celebrated Earth day in two locations Mehrauli South Delhi and Danya Almora District. Green Circle has been engaged by Mehrauli based NGO Pravan Foundation which is extending voluntary education to underprivileged children, for providing composting and horticulture consultancy. The Pravan foundation campus has a number of well grown trees which shed leaves during spring. Further they have a number of cows which provide gobar. It was sufficient for Green Circle to extend their free consultancy for composting. On Earthday, Green Circle’s eminent environmentalist P K Dutta visited the premises and inaugurated the compost pit. He also made a layout plan for horticulture for planting vegetable and flowering plants. Mrs Aparna Kapoor founder of Pravan foundation dropped the first layer of dry leaves and gobar in the pit. Green Circle has handed over the horticulture landscaping plan with her. Earlier Selvarajan, Anil Parashar and P K Dutta inspected the premises and assured the Foundation of voluntary service for the project. Selvarajan says, “ This is one of the projects, first of its kind where Green Circle’s composting initiative in Dwarka is replicated in other locations. Our advantage in Mehrauli was the availability of gobar, kitchen waste and dry leaves.” Anil Parashar said, “we will monitor the progress of the vegetable gardening periodically and help the foundation to make the premises eco-friendly. We are also planning rainwater harvesting unit for the premises”<br />

Convention, wetlands are defined as areas of marsh land or water, whether
natural or artificial, permanent or temporary, with water that is static or
flowing, fresh, brackish or salt, including areas of marine water the depth of
which at low tide does not exceed six metres. It is called ‘Kidney of the

aquifers. It maintains ground water level and supports many ecological services.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Najafgarh Jheel was formed by the Sahibi River
which originates in the Aravalli Hills, near Jitgarh, Manoharpur, and the
district of Jaipur in Rajasthan. After gathering volume over a hundred
tributaries, the Sahibi River forms a broad stream around Alwar and Kotputali.
It then enters the Rewari district in Haryana, near the city of Rewari, after
which it re-enters first Rajasthan near Kot Kasim, and then Haryana, near the
village of Jarthal. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dry
riverbed near Jarthal is still two kilometers wide. During light
monsoon rainfall, the river's flat and sandy bottom absorbs all rainwater.
During heavy rains, the river branches off into two smaller streams, finally
reaching the outskirts of Delhi where the natural depression at Najafgarh
became the reservoir of the overflow from the river, forming the Najafgarh
Lake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In past, till 1960, the water of
the Sahibi River continued to flow out of the lake, through a narrow channel,
into the river Yamuna. The lake also receives inflow from Gurgaon and Rohtak
Districts as well as from south-west Delhi and has a total catchment of 906
sq.km.<span lang="EN-IN">Najafgarh Jheel named after

nature and also a nature photographer. He has passion for capturing different
shares naturally created in the trees such as God idols, human beings, actions
and animals. He has participated in exhibitions and conducted various programs
on nature for children. </span></div>

<div class="normal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">While talking about
Environment, one has to think of future generations. Environment is a
collective as well as individual subject. Today we find that vehicles are
increasing and pollution as well. The Environmental concerns are many. We
therefore need to begin working for Environment. My work for nature started
with observing natural shapes formed in plant leaves, twigs, branches and
trunks. I have started taking unique tree pictures and displayed in schools. I
have associated with NGOs like CSE to get connected to schools to conduct green
audit. We have more of amaranthus and neem plants in Dwarka. Amaranthus
varieties could be seen in Golden and silver colours. In fact , my connection to
Environment started with window viewing which created my interest in plants. I
started writing about plants, natural shapes and also photography. I still
write in Neem magazine. One can get connected to nature by trying hands in
Gardening and visiting natural places. In Dwarka, concrete structures are
reducing green canopy. We need more and more greenery. Tree plantation campaign
should go on. I experience that some people protest trees in their vicinity. In
modern days, the situation is getting grave, but we need to start getting
connected to plants. If you observe trees and plants, you will find images
shapes as displayed by me here. This can create some interest in inculcating
love for nature. I approached 40 schools in Delhi for creating interest but only
eight schools have shown interest. It all depends on school managements to
create green campus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of my unique
initiative was to straighten the bent trees. Bent Trees or fallen trees should
be revived. Our initiative was experimented in Indirapuram where school
children joined me in straightening the tree which was obstructing traffic. We
cut half of the tree and tries straightening it. It could be corrected.
Similarly, it's important to try saving existing trees. Together we all should
try some collective work. </span></div>

Tree Adoption Project of Green Circle is catching up. Not in India alone but in
other countries too, thanks to the social media connect. The project involves
planting trees and watering them regularly by adopting trees. The project is
unique in that the trees being adopted which otherwise may remain uncared and
wither away or eaten by cattle. The trees are protected with tree guards and
are being watered regularly. Green Circle has invited people to adopt one tree
each. On their behalf, Green Circle supervises the trees and monitors them
daily. Green Circle invites nature lovers to adopt a tree on the eve of
Birthdays and Anniversaries. Recently 3 year old Neysa adopted a tree and
celebrated her birthday by watering the tree planted by her. For her this is
better than calling her friends for a birthday party. Some of our associates in
Rwanda were fascinated by the idea of planting a tree on the eve of birthdays
and decided to replicate the Tree Adoption Project model. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Dear friends,<br />
When we visited Bharatpur in Dec 2017, we found that the migratory birds like Northern Shovellers, Pintails, Gargeney, Gadwall etc were either present in less number or not present. We had an interview with the locals and were surprised to note that the people were pessimistic as the lackluster attitude of the park authorities. This small video will give you the locals views<br />

any case, we feel that the glory of the park will be lost if the
tourism is curtailed in the sensitive areas like this. This is a global
site with rich vegetation and bird population. Preserving this of
paramount task than encouraging tourism. Eco tourism policies need to be
revisited and stringent measures taken, if we want the posterity to
have this rich natural heritage. Will the environmental ministry
consider our views?</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">When my friend, Mr Prasad, the ‘dancing’ Photographer (dancing because, he mostly captures dancers in action thro’ his magical lens….) called me over phone… “Hi Rajan, could we plan a Bird watching trip?” I just couldn’t believe. Well.. I also wanted a break from my dry “Banking & Finance lectures”… I rang up to Murali, the born trekker, who always accompanies me, but this time, he said that he would not make it… due to his “Vigilance assignments” in his Bank! Sadly I had to miss him… So Prasad & I planned it for Sultanpur on 26<sup>th</sup> Dec 2011. It was a Monday and we loved to brave the biting cold…</span></div>

As expected, he came out of the station with his paraphernalia i.e., Camera, Tripod, hiding his round, barren head inside the typical Birder’s cap with a beaming smile. I was in my winter jacket covering inside a sweater, a shirt and an innerware, hoping to protect reasonably form an expected cold wave. My Wagon R was happy to have an outing…away from Delhi… After Manali in March, he could not go for along drive…. Poor guy. With the typical mood for a Nature Trail, we wanted to venture into old rural road leading to Gurgaon but alas, from the beginning we were lost. Somehow we reached the Basai road and reached Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary … alas… the locked door welcomed us. There was none to receive us as guest. The In-charge came to say that the sanctuary was closed on Mondays. We cursed the Wild life Authorities….. for we were not told this earlier. Why could you not visit the website before starting… pat came the reply. In fact I tried a website…. But as usual the message was “</span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to the site owner reaching his/her <b><u>bandwidth limit</u></b>.

We had a superb pot-tea inside the well maintained restaurant...Now I wondered as to what to do... Suddenly I recollected my earlier visit a decade ago in a scooter with my son on the pillion to a nearby not-so-known bird site. Yeah... but I forgot the name.. what should I do? But god.. I too have memory.... It was.. I got it... Bhindhawas Lake Bird Sanctuary... about 15 Km away...? Yes. Prasad tried the browsing in my 2G mobile and he got it, but we were unable to track it. Passing old Haryanwi’s never knew having heard such a name. Driving ahead, we travelled about 25 Kms to reach Jhajjar because, a faint memory instinct told me that we did cross Jhajjar during our last trip a decade ago. Good... the villagers near Jhajjar told that it another 15 kms away. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">It was 1 pm by then... anyway we are going to reach Bhindhawas.... I raised the gear and the road was perhaps a State High way from Jhajjar.. and was smooth. Kudos to roadways in Haryana.... roads are far better now. Hurray.... there is the sign board. “Take a diversion to Bhindhawas.. just 4 kms from here”..it read. Prasad clicked the board, perhaps the photo might help if lost... i just enjoyed his work and started driving tho a smaller but a reasonably good road which lead us to the Sanctuary.. Before reaching, there is a small village and a pond. My goodness... I spotted a Black winged Stilt in the pond... and a pleasant surprise was there was a migratory duck also. Going closer, I referred Salim Ali to confirm that it was a pair of Scaup Duck... I swear, it can’t be tufted Pochard for the simple reason that it did not have the conspicuous tuft on its head.. And look at Prasad’s pictures which would perhaps vouchsafe it..... </span><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Inspired by the sighting, we further proceeded to reach the Forest rest House under the care of an Inspector.</span></div>

In the forest camp site, there was one Mr Ajit Singh, the peon who welcomed us and directed us to the lake bund. He said that we could drive the entire lack which extends to about 12 kms around the lake spread over an area of 1017 acres. Later on, he handed a brochure written in Hindi, which has show cased a checklist of 190 birds, both resident and migratory. Thank god… there is no holiday. We were lucky this time. Ajit also said that there are plenty of migratory birds. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Encouraged, we started driving on the bund. What a scenic bund it was!. We were thrilled to go ahead, feeling the closeness to nature. Suddenly a huge flattering of the wings made us stop. We realized that a group of migratory ducks have taken off, hearing the strangers… probable hunters?!?! Then this was my turn.. I cautioned Prasad… Look.. you had been shooting the dancing beauties so far… now these are flying beauties…. Let us walk silently paring the car. Believe us… we had a great feast to eyes that day. Yeah…. Purple moorhen, Indian Moorhen, dabchick, coot, kingfisher-white breasted. I wondered which one I should see thro my binocular?</span></span></div>

The Alexandrians were more in number and there were a few, rose ringed parakeets too. I was keenly looking for a Blossom headed one, but I was only unfortunate. But yeah..

I said and Prasad said… it should be right. We decided to move right which let us into a nearby village. The sleeping village was beautiful…. And we enquired a old villager as to how to go back to lake. We were again on the lake road. Now it was slowly getting darker. The evening warmth of the sunshine was slowly going away. But we never gave up our hope for further sighting… yeah ! here it is.! A gorgeous Purple heron was standing tall as if it was looking for a yummy evening snack. And this was again our time to shoot…. The bird cooperated nicely. We had good many photographs of Egrets, purple herons and a few cormorants. </span></div>

We had miles to go… so did I raised the engine and came out to the highways. Now this was time for us to have a chai on the road side tea shop. Imagine … I never loved tea, but believe I took tea twice thanks to the ginger flavor in the hot paper cup that too in the foggy evening. Now the sunset on the backdrop of tall standing eucalyptus canopy from the lake side inspired the camera person to catch the sight of the evening sun. What a wonderful sight it is, we have been seeing this, ever since our school days… everytime you watch the sun… it is a great natural phenomenon… never we get bored… with this last click, we started our travel back as we had to reach Najafgarh from Jhajjar.. after crossing badli then Dhansa border. The return journey was not that much confusing, but the road from Jhajjar till badli was under construction and this delayed our travel time. </span></span></div>
